Doing some home renos?  Here’s a good deal on a vinyl door.  At least I assume it’s a good deal (I don’t know anything about doors).  Except that you can find them at Pictou County Search.com and this one just happens to be today’s featured ad from Port Bickerton, NS:

The Hawk Road

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

Well, an unusual day. No new classifieds. But new content has been added to Pictou County Links.com. Running a directory often exposes you to new sites that you may not have found otherwise. Today I added http://www.pictoucountylinks.com/the-hawk-road.html to the directory. And Lobster.ca. These are links to the dedicated pages in the directory they will not take you directly to their respective sites. To go to the actual site use the link on the directory page.
I found these sites while playing online poker. One of the other players had lobster.ca on his mouseover. So I asked him about it. He told me it was his friend’s site and that another friend had a site called “The Hawk Road”. So I checked out both of the sites and decided they should be part of the directory.

“The Hawk Road” is a similar venture to mine. It’s a geo-specific niche site that focuses on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. You might even say we are in competition. Anyway I think it’s a great site. Check it out if you happen to be reading this blog.

Hey this is pretty cool.  I never heard of shared pet sitting before but it seems like a great idea.  Look after some one’s dog while they are away and they do the same for you.  If you are in the Pictou, NS area and would be interested in this type of trade you should check it out.  It’s crazy all the cool stuff you can find at Pictou County Search.com:

Truro NS.com

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006

New content has been added to Pictou County Links.com. I added another one of my local competitors Truro NS.com. This is a local guide for the Colchester area. It features local classifieds and local links as well as a ton of other local info. To see how the new link looks: http://pictoucountylinks.com/truro-ns.html.

I’m still waiting for a response from K-Links support to get my logo fixed.  Hopefully they will contact me early next week.  And the directory is growing but very slowly.  So far I have had to add most of the links myself.  That should change as traffic grows.  The urls for links should draw lots of search engine traffic.  At least that was the plan when I decided to use the K-Links software.  Time will tell.

Pictou County Links Directory

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

The new Pictou County Links Directory is now live. It will take a while for me to learn the back office, but it works fine and is ready to add new links. Also I am in the process of downloading a new template. I hope to have this added today but there is no telling for sure. With any luck you may never know the difference between the old and the new.

Some features of the new directory.

  1. Visitors can rate listings
  2. Visitors can send reports to admins on broken/cheating/etc listings
  3. Site search – simple and advanced
  4. View newest listings, most popular and top rated listings from each category
