Jonesborotoday.com is a Jonesboro Community Guide owned and operated locally.
It is very
important to remember that the Internet is global and that clicks on
most Websites can be from anywhere in the world! Here on Jonesborotoday.com, most viewers are in the Jonesboro area, and
your business receives local clicks. 5 local clicks are better than 2,000 clicks from another country, state, or city! That's why we could care less what our Alexa or Google ranking is ! We are local, and we bring you local customers! Jonesboro area residents visit our site daily for their local news, weather, sports, entertainment, contests, and more.
Be very
cautious of Websites that brag about how much traffic they get! Traffic
doesn't sell advertising! What sells your business is people that are
not just clicking by from anywhere in the world, but instead are local
Jonesboro area residents staying on our site for a longer period of
time because of the LOCAL CONTENT.
Your Advertising will be seen by local Jonesboro area residents again and again! Your advertising will be seen on our site 24 hours a day!

print advertising, which is one-and-done, tossed out with the household

Most
searchers are window shoppers. If they don't like what they see in the
window, they won't be coming back. Without good content, our site
becomes a ghost town with a big "Road Closed" sign in front of it. So with us, content is priority one!
It's
the content that drives people to our site. Even if they use a search
engine to get here, what good does it do if Google refers a million
visitors to our site if they don't find what they're looking for? We
concentrate on good content, so our viewers keep coming back. And keep seeing your ads.

"Print is dead"
"Print
is dead," Sports Illustrated President John Squires told a room full of
newspaper and magazine circulation executives at a conference in
Toronto in November, 2004 . His advice? "Get over it," meaning publishers should stop trying to save their ink-on-paper product and focus on electronic delivery of their journalism.
The Washington Post
provides statistical evidence of the drop in newspaper readership. It
looks at the percent of people reading a newspaper in daily in 1967 and
in 2004, broken down by age group.
