HoozDooz.com

My buddy Matt in New York is, among other things, a fellow website designer who also owns a classifieds website.  HoozDooz.com is a great resource for those in the garment industry looking to buy, sell, barter, rent, lease, employ, and more.  It’s easy to get signed up, and easy to post ads.  Sign up for a free user account and check it out!

Also, check out what RUEBENMARLEY from  toptenwholesale.com had to say about them:

Hoozdooz.com has been getting a lot of attention lately, even though they are just a budding enterprise. HBO has featured them in a recent documentary called Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags, giving perspective on how much the New York Garment District has lost its hold as the leader for American apparel manufacturing. By building a community backing, the company has great potential to make a remarkably large positive impact on the fashion and creative industries.

This post is regarding our free classifieds website, 50 States Classifieds.  We thought it was worth cross-posting, since so many Green Web Design blog readers also use the site.

Some users may not be aware that there is an easier way to reach their ads.  This is just a quick note to let you know about some of the other ways you can find us.

We use these different website addresses when advertising, so that shoppers can easily find local ads in their state without remembering a  long, complicated URL.

For example: Telling people to go to AdvertiseWisconsin.com is so much easier than telling them to go to “http://www.50statesclassifieds.com/category.php?cid=87”   and expecting them to remember it!

50 States Free Classifieds

Use this easy reference list to find our free classifieds site quickly and easily according to which state you’re in:

Go to http://www.google.com/webmasters and sign up for an account.

You will see the Home page.  Scroll down and click the “Add a site” button, and add your website address.  Then, under “sites” click on the domain you just created.

You will now see the dashboard.  It is an overview of several tools:  Top search queries, Crawl errors, links to your site, keywords, sitemaps – you can click “More” under any section to see more information.

When you are done exploring the dashboard, look to the left.  There are 4 main navigation sections: Site Configuration, Your site on the Web, Diagnostics, and Labs.

First, click the + sign next to Site Configuration and go to  Settings.  You can see the current crawl settings and change them here.

Now, click the + sign next to Diagnostics.  Here, you will find HTML Suggestions.  Here, you can get a good look at how many pages that are indexed have duplicate meta descriptions, duplicate title tags, etc. It’s a good idea to look at this section often and see what can be fixed when you notice new items have appeared.

Last, click the + sign next to Labs.  When you use the “Fetch as Googlebot” tool, and enter any page from your site, Googlebot will show you exactly how it sees that page.  Click on the word “Success” next to any fetched page to see the results.

Under Site Performance, you will see a performance overview of your site.  It takes several days for this page to update after it takes a reading, you may have to give it a week in between updates.  Scroll down and you will see it offers page speed suggestions for improving your website load time.

If you have any questions about the other sections in Google Webmasters that I did not discuss, submit them here!

In addition to our regular work, I have been spending quite a bit of time working on my pet project: 50 States Free Classifieds.  As you probably already know if you are a client of Green Web Design, our classifieds site is the best place to advertise your website after we have finished designing it for you.  Not only does Google look through our Classifieds site several times a day, but we promote the site in many other ways as well.  We do this so that our clients have an affordable, easy way to showcase their products and services, without having to break the bank on advertising.  We don’t just make websites, we try to help promote small and local businesses in any way that we can.  And it gets results!

Hope you all have a happy week and weekend.  I will be at home, working on the classifieds.  I am excited because i have a lot of new ideas.   Now I just need the time to implement them!
