I have set up, on my web site, links to Home inspectors in the US and Canada.

http://home2spec.com/InspectorList.html (http://home2spec.com/InspectorList.html)

My hope is to get everyone to do the same and create links back to my site.

I know that this was discussed here, I just can't find it right now.

Anyhow.... take a look.. you may be on it.... if you are... how about some reciprocity?

if you are not..... contact me at victor@Home2spec.com (victor@Home2spec.com) and I will gladly add you. just give me your name, URL, city and state.

Actually.... it takes a while to compile the list, anyone interested, I will share it if you are going to use it on your site. it's compiled using MS frontpage 2000 and it's about 64 KB

We could get a lot of links with this if we work it.

links = search engine ranking

Almost forgot... if you are on the page and don't want to be included, let me know, I will remove you.:)

Victor, what advertising mediums work and don't work will vary by area. Internet advertising works great for me but not so great for others. For example, I performed an inspection for the brother of an inspector who works out of southcentral PA whereas I am in southeastern PA (the inspector called me to set it up). He said the bulk of his inspection work filters through the realtors and not many people find their inspectors via the net in his neck of the woods. He said buyers in his area are not very progressive in their thinking when it comes to finding an inspector outside of the realtor recommended list.

Don't rely solely on what you hear on this board to determine how to spend your dollars. You'll need to experiment. Some things will work and some will be a waste of money. Stick with what works and drop the stuff that doesn't. There's no other way figure it out.
