NetworkingWave.com offers more than just a few lines of information and a link back to your website. We offer a community of business owners who want to network and communicate with you and many tools in order to accomplish this, such as: Membership Directory, Events Calendars, Email Blasts, Improved Search Engine Listings and more. There are currently three levels of membership: Standard Quarterly, Non-Profit and Elite Member. Standard Quarterly Membership is $15 every 3 months. This system is free to qualified non-profit organizations. And Standard Quarterly Members who refer 10 other paying members become Elite Members. The Elite Membership is free and is placed on the top of the business listings.

This is a comparison between NetworkingWave.com and some of the other options on the Internet to advertise, market and network your business.

LinkedIn.com offers an online membership directory. The member profile can only be viewed by other LinkedIn members. One must go through the hassle of the membership process in order to view information regarding any of its members. The member is limited to the amount of content that can be put in a listing. There are 3 account types available: Personal (Free), Business ($20/month) and Business Plus ($50/month). Each level offers more features and better customer service.

Yellowpages.com offers online advertising. A business can place a very brief description of the business with telephone, address, email and website. This advertisement will only show in correlation to a specific city with a limit of 5 business categories. There are 4 account types: Free ($0/month*), Bronze ($35/month*), Silver ($55/month*), Gold ($79/month*) and Platinum ($129/month). *: Prices vary by Zip Code.

Google.com offers online pay-per-click advertising. A business can place a 3 line advertisement on the right hand side in association with selected keyword search results. A potential client clicks on the advertisement and is sent over from Google to that person's website, and the business is charged for that opportunity. The cost of each "Click" varies upon demand. The higher the demand, the higher the price. A click only brings traffic to a website. It does not guarantee any purchase. A problem associated with Pay-Per-Click is that some competitors could click those adds just to make that business pay out more advertisement dollars. In its defense, Google has some programming in place to reduce this problem, but it is not 100% effective.

Example of Pay-Per-Click Prices:

Keyword Phrase (Approx. Cost Per Click):
auto insurance ($34.00)
bookkeeping ($3.95)
candles ($1.35)
cosmetics ($2.15)
financial planner ($6.28)
janitorial services ($2.87)
payroll services ($10.40)
pizza restaurant ($0.76)
real estate ($2.73)
reverse mortgage ($14.92)
shabby chic ($0.70)
travel agent ($1.73)

Prices for Pay-Per-Click range from a few pennies to tens of dollars for every single potential client that follows the advertisement from Google to a website. This can quickly become a very expensive form of advertisement. And there is another issue. There is no purpose for these pay-per-click services if that business does not have a website.

NetworkingWave.com offers a large variety of services for no more than $5 per month. Compare and save with NetworkingWave.com.
