Frequently
Asked Questions - 09/12/07 - Is Nevada
County Commerce a new website? No, It has
been a directory based website for over 2 years, now. That is why
it is so accessible on the major search engines like Google and Yahoo.
We recently have been getting lots of calls and emails from people who
find our website while they are searching for a specific business type
on these search engines, so we are expanding our services at this time.
How does Nevada County Commerce differ from
Google, Yahoo, or any of the local directory based search engines, for
that matter? Nevada County Commerce
is a search engine that is specific to, and relevant to the Nevada County
area. When you want to search the world wide web you go to Google,
when you want to know anything relating to Grass Valley, Nevada City, Lake
Wildwood, Penn Valley, Rough and Ready, Lake of the Pines, or the many
outlying rural areas - you go to Nevada County Commerce.
How do you make the search engine specific
to, and relevant to the Nevada County area?
There
are two essential ways we ensure that the content stays specific:
1. Our search engine is an editor based search engine, meaning
that someone has to input the data, as opposed to search engines that use
“spidering technology”. Our search engine is designed to provide
you with results that are relevant to the searched for Nevada County subject.
2. We also do not charge anyone to be included in the directory
portion of our search engine, and they can even have a link to their website.
By offering FREE services to the public, we can then provide a more useful
search engine back for everyone to benefit from.
What type of FREE services do you offer the
public?
There are currently many FREE services,
and we'll be adding new ones all the time. But, here are just a few
of the most popular:
