What changes can I expect from this subscription:

After you have subscribed to one of our packages or directory listing your google web site search will change drastically. When you search your site name (www.mywebsite.com, run your search as "mywebsite" or "my-website") this narrows it down to listings pertaining to your site only. You will immediately see 12 to 17 website directories (natural links) with your sites description and with omitted results, you'll see about 50-100 links (depending in your subscription). Plus any other website who has a direct link to your site. The addition of 12 to 17 websites with multiple links and directory listings will greatly help your google page rank and your sight will be perceived as a popular place to visit by other search engines. This effort greatly improves your chances to increase your site's traffic with potential customers.

When does my subscription start:

Once all the websites have been uploaded with your information you will receive an e-mail. This will let you know your subscription has started. It will also contain links to all your listings in all the specific pages on each website. This is for you to verify that we have done our job.

Most of this sites are jewelry related, can I list something else:

yes, this sites are design to increase our visibility as jewelers. Most jewelry buyers are affluent customers who are willing to see other products. This sites are also hosting a game store, auto dealer, baby strollers, eBay stores and a few other non-jewelry related sites. There are a great variety of sites with products and services who are looking to increase their website and/or store visibility. Sorry no websites with adult content.

What kind of traffic do this sites have:

As of May '09 between the 24 sites in the program had just over 10,000 unique visitors and over 125,000 hits. We expect unique visitors to continue to increase rapidly now that that the newer sites are getting noticed.

Any discounts for multiple sites:

Yes, when you list 3 or more sites, you can have 20% off of your total subscription fees. If you will like to list 6 sites or more we can go 25% off your total subscription.

Can I upgrade my subscription:

Sure, you can add additional websites to your subscription by purchasing packages of 6-12 listings. If you originally purchased 6 or 12 listings you may purchase an additional 6-12 listings, up to 18 right now, this summer we will have 24 websites in the program! We often have a package of 6 text links in auction starting at $0.99 (this is an economical way to purchase upgrades).

Will my links ever move:

Not, unless the domain name changes ownership, (some domain names are for sale). In this case another site will replace it and the number of listings will remain the same. In the case we open a store in one of the sites, we will leave your directory information on the site.

Can I make changes in my product listings:

Only for Pro-Store and Super-Store packages, they are aloud to change product links every 3 months or 4 times per year. Any additional changes must be accompanied by a $20.00 fee.

How soon will the search engines show my listings:

Normally within 15 days or less. The sites are automatically submitted every 30 days, then the search engines schedules their visits to pick up your information. Once this happens your site name search will show your site listed in all the appropriate directories.

I don't have a banner of any size:

A FREE custom banner is provided with any subscription. We will take a screen shot of your website or ebay store logo (title) and reduce it to 120x40 Micro-Banner to include with your listing. Same for Link option, well make you a 468x60 banner. [Example]

Can I cancel my subscription:

Yes, you can cancel at any time. I will remove all of your sites listings immediately upon your request. However due to the amount of time dedicated to placing and removing your information and rearranging the sites to accommodate it. There will be no refunds!

How do your prices compare with others:

Not many others offer you 12-17 site network. Individual banners usually run $6-12 per year or more. Our Permanent Links packages start at $0.83 average, Directory listings $0.88 average. This is a ground level opportunity. Our prices will increase as our sights are more established.

Can I do a link exchange with one or a few of this sites:

Yes, the secondary sights have their independent link partner program. Where you add a reciprocal micro-banner, name-link and text description in the style of our directory listing. Banner exchange only is not preferred since it does not have the same affect on google's page ranking.

This sites look full, is there room for new subscribers:

We had very few subscribers to star with, so most of the existing banners are repeated 3-4 times so that the site look like there is lots going on. As subscribers come in we will replace most of the repeated banners with new ones.

Some of the the sites only have 3 sections:

Our site's minimum start up is 3 sections, we will grow all sites to at least 5-6 sections each. Some sites have 8 or more sections.

I see there is only a handful of subscribers, who are the others:

If the sites are not in the subscribers list, then they are affiliates of Mansfield Designs. This affiliates should be mostly on the directory and the link pages. Right now they are spread out all over, to make the sites look busy.

Life time permanent links:

Links may be shuffled around to better organize or categorize the sections as more listings or banners are added. Permanent links will be checked every other month, if the links is inactive for more then 30 days, we reserve the right to remove it without reimbursement or prior notice. This is all in the effort to maintain and better display quality directory and banner links for our visitors.

Is there a limit to the number of subscriber you will accept:

Definitely, We do not want the sites to be overpopulated where you see hundreds of banners stacked right next to each other. The main body of the sites will only hold 2 more Super-Stores, 6-8 Pro-Stores and 10-12 Starter Package Subscribers. For Directory and Link subscribers, there is no limit. If this sections get overcrowded we will categorize or alphabetize them to accommodate as many subscribers as there is demand. This benefits us all since it will increase the popularity of all the sites involved.

There is 17 websites in the program, will there be anymore later:

There are additional websites we have lined to be secondary sights for the program. This sites will add all of our qualifying subscribers to their directory and link sections. Our subscriber's number of sites linked to their site or store will grow with the success of the Micro-Banner Marketing System. This is not applicable to permanent link subscribers, they will be offered a chance to add their links to the additional sites at special subscriber prices.

Any future plans:

We are working on a monthly newsletter program where qualified subscribers can add their e-mail list and include monthly specials or messages with product picture and links. Later this year we will add our marketing sites as well as subscribers to a few social and professional blogs and websites to increase exposure. We plan to continue to exchange links to popular and directory sites to increase our overall WWW presence.
