After hunting around for a decent portal to showcase the businesses that could use it the most, it was time to DIY -- Do It Yourself. In the spirit of "don't worry, be crappy and get something up there NOW", you can see the first draft of the Scranton Front Door Portal at: Scranton Front Door Portal
This portal will be very exclusive. It will be for particular niches or sub-niches that have a top spot available in the search engine results. These particular niches typically spend heavily to promote their businesses or professions, but clearly haven't gotten their websites (if they have them) indexed for their main keywords.
Only one category is live at this point: scranton equipment rental services. Within a very short period of time, you will be able to put those four words into the search engine and see the "placeholder" page for that niche. If you are just dying to see what a plain vanilla placeholder page looks like, go to Scranton Equipment Rental Services. Thrill to the trenchant text there! Click away at the poll for readers! Imagine your own rental service with a great spot in that search engine I mentioned.
Now imagine that same spot in the results leads to your website. Through the magic of computers, a kind of call forwarding can make that happen! Best of all, once yours truly either fixes your current page to rank well in search engines or has an exclusive team of Web page builders craft a website for you that will present the right face to your prospects and clients, you'll be able to stand on your own!
