Default Product Information

Hello....way back in 2003, someone created a "Website Index Card" that listed local website addresses in Categories.

This was a 4" by 9" inch Card (similar to the Cards placed in racks in hotels) that had website URL's of local businesses (he had 52 listings on each side and 104 total, on the Card I saw) so that anyone receiving this Card could place it next to their computer and easily find websites of local businesses.

His distribution was via Inserts in the Sunday papers of that Town, anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 circulation.

I haven't heard of this lately and I was wondering if anyone remembers what he was charging for this. Or, if anyone remembers seeing this.

Thank you,
Andy Donovan

Hi, Andy - sorry, I don't know the answer to this one. If you could remember a specific phrase or piece of information that was on the site, you could google that phrase.

It sounds a bit like a Don Alm program - but I don't know if that is where you saw the details.
