Tropical Fish Pixels Purchasing - Frequently Asked Questions

What is MillionDollarTropicalFishPage?
MillionDollarTropicalFishPage is a community of people interested in providing information on products, services, publications, opportunities or any other offering related to the Tropical Fish Industry
What makes the MillionDollarTropicalFishPage concept unique?
There are many Tropical Fish "Hobbyist" pages on the internet, but there is a disconnect between the buyers and sellers within the Tropical Fish Industy. MillionDollarTropicalFishPage is the first subject specific community page in which every participant of the "supply chain" has an opportunity to drive consumers directly to their wares, increasing information, expanding knowledge and driving demand for products and services from the "bottom up"
What makes searching on MillionDollarTropicalFishPage more effective then typical web surfing?
Traditional web searching involves typing in "key-word" and scrolling through potentially hundreds of pages of results, hoping to find a "title" and/or "Description" that meets your needs as a consumer or piques your interest. In a one page view, you can effectively see every page participant graphically and use our search tab to "zero-in" on matches to specific key-words" on the page.
Why will MillionDollarTropicalFishPage be listed higher in Internet searching than my site currently is?
We have made a significant investment in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and paid placement. This capital expenditure on our part, can be shared with every person who posts an ad on this site. We will provide the highest competitive advantage to drive viewers to our site, and increase your tropical fish marketing ROI.
Am I guaranteed additional sales from advertising on MillionDollarTropicalFishPage?
We are so confident in this "state of the art" approach to internet marketing that we would like to say yes, but nothing is guaranteed. What we can guarantee is that a well designed web site, with changing content and a "value-offering", should stimulate interest and thus revenue opportunities. We will bring viewers to our site. The size of your ad pixel purchase, along with good keywords and site description will draw attention to your tropical fish industry related site.
What is a Pixel?
Short for "Picture Element", a pixel is a single point in a graphic image. Computer monitors display pictures by dividing the display screen into thousands (or millions) of pixels, arranged in rows and columns. The pixels are so close together that they appear connected.
What is "buying Pixels"?
In short, buying tropical fish pixels is an effective, cutting edge marketing method. Pixels on Million Dollar Tropical Fish Page are available in 100 pixel "blocks", with each block measuring 10 x 10 pixels. The page is divided into 10,000 of these blocks. The reason for selling them in these blocks is because anything smaller than 10 x 10 pixels would be too small to display anything recognizable. Each 10 x 10 block costs US $100, equating to a cost of $1 per pixel. The larger the block you purchase, the easier it is for the viewer's eye to be instantly directed to your spot on the grid.
How does the "Search" function work?
This page is made up of tropical fish wholesalers, tropical fish supplier, and many businesses and consumers in the Tropical Fish Industry. Each Graphic advertisement posted here has two purposes. First is to link directly to the Graphic's web site. The second is two exhibit on a "mouse-over", 255 characters of information about the site. By typing in your "search" criteria (i.e. food, discus, books) and pushing the "Search" button, the resulting graphics that match will be HIGHLIGHTED.
I use banner ads on other tropical fish "hobbyist" sites. What marketing benefit does your site give?
We are a subject specific community page of "end to end" providers and consumers in the Tropical Fish industry. Every visitor is subject focused and rather than getting that occasional web hit with your banner ad, consumers that are looking specifically for new or better sourcing options are driven to your page by ours.
Why is it an effective sales tool to list my advertisement on a site with other Tropical Fish sellers?
There is a marketing theory called "radiation selling". Simply put, it means that the intent to purchase one item may "radiate" towards purchasing others. It is the same reason why "Supermarkets" put their milk or eggs in the back of the store. The potential customer has to walk through other products like bread, cereal and peanut butter and the chances of an additional purchase are increased. People who visit this site may come with the intent of finding information on foods and may discover through looking or searching that they have found another site for Tropical Fish Books, Equipment or Livestock.
As a Tropical Fish Manufacturer,why would I advertise on a site that is viewed by retail consumers?
The consumer drives the sales cycle. Whether they purchase their consumables through Internet buying or "bricks & mortar" retail, their knowledge of available products is often limited to the offering of their individual supplier. By allowing consumers to view new and improved products, they are more likely to request these products from their sources.
Why would I go about tropical fish marketing in a space with my competitors?
Consumers have their own value scale. It can be based on price, functionality or other criteria . By allowing your offerings to be viewed by the consumer, you develop a competitive advantage of knowledge distribution to the end of the supply chain. Today's tropical fish hobbyist spends much time in the diligence process of getting the most for their money.
I have a web site now, why do I need additional advertising?
Consumers are currently driven to your site by conventional key word searching. When using search engines like Yahoo and Google, multiple listings of suppliers like yourself are listed. The consumer then has to scroll through many pages of similar offerings. The hit to your web site will only occur if the consumer uses the proper key words of your site and your listing is in a favorable position within the search. We provide a subject-centric, one page view of tropical fish related sites only.
I own a Pet Shop. I advertise in the local newspaper, why do I need to be on your site?
Print and media ads are only effective if they are viewed during their short life span. They have a set duration of exposure and afford very limited direct contact to consumers of your products you are targeting. For the cost of placing a newspaper, cable or media ad for a few days, you can be listed for a full year and your audience is the world.
How will this forum drive sales to my business?
Our site will drive "clicks" to your site. The optimum business effect will be achieved by affording your potential customers "value". You can have "weekly specials", offer coupons and maybe advertise seminars, new product offerings or rare fish. All levels of tropical fish keepers will look for differentiation in tropical fish shops within a specific mile radius. If you design an informative site, keep it updated and use some simple marketing techniques you can drive traffic to your shop. You may also find opportunities for mail orders from customers you would not have ordinarily touched. We can also help you setup a web page of your own. Inquire for more details.
I am a Distributer or Tropical Fish Wholesaler and I already advertise in trade publications and have a web site. What value does your site offer?
Unless the consumer either subscribes to the publication or reads your print ad, it is not effective. If the consumer uses different key words then you have indexed on your web site, it will never be listed during a web search. Even if it does, your rating may be hundreds of pages behind competitors. We afford a subject specific forum that consumers can type in keywords and will be brought up in one page. Our site will be available to thousands of consumers in your business segment and your site views can be increased.
I am a tropical fish wholesaler and don't sell to the public, why should I go about marketing my business with you?
An increase of knowledge about availability and the sourcing of tropical fish products or livestock increase wholesales. A viewer to your site may recommend to his local pet shop to purchase quality livestock from your business. A good web site that is informative, organized and updated regularly increases frequent site visits and the consumer drives the sales cycle.
