The
internet can be a very important tool for selling meat goat breeding
stock, but there are things you need to know to use
it successfully.
Today
most people have access to the internet and use the internet to find
the things they want to buy and to research the things they want to
learn about. Thus the internet
has become a lot more important than in the past for selling meet goat
breeding
stock. Years ago people were successful selling breeding stock by
networking
with others at
shows
and educational seminars. Most potential buyers don’t go to shows and
seminars
any more because it is much easier for them to do their networking and
shopping
on the internet.
The key to successful internet marketing is search engine optimization (SEO). SEO is very important, very controversial, and much has been written about it. Few people know for sure what works, because the ones who have been successful aren’t telling anyone their secrets and neither are the search engines.
If “meat goat” is typed into a major search engine such as Google, Bing, or Yahoo, about 650,000 web sites that relate to meat goats will be found. If a real good job on search engine optimization is done and a site gets into the top 1/10th of 1% it could still be number 600 on the list. Trust me nobody is going to find web site number 600.
If one types anything pertaining to meat goats or Boer goats into one of the major search engines there is one web site that will always be in the top five. That web site is http://www.boergoats.com, owned byKeith Smith .
Keith builds,
optimizes, and hosts meat goat web sites for others. If you are looking
for
someone to do that for you, we highly recommend using him. While Ken
Ziemer builds this web
site and also builds his own web site (http://www.critterridge.net,)
Keith does
the hosting and some of the search engine optimization for both sites.
If one types “meat goat” into any of the major search engines the North Arkansas Meat Goat Association web site will rank some where between 10th and 15th out of 650,000. Type “Arkansas Meat Goat,” “Arkansas Boer Goat,” “Arkansas Savanna Goat,” or “Arkansas Spanish Goat” into any of the major search engines and this web site will rank in the top five.
If you would like to build your own web site, one just like this one, you can find instructions for building it, at http://www.critterridge.net.
If
you are a member of the North
Arkansas Meat Goat Association you will get a listing, on this web
site, of
your farm or ranch, with contact information, and a link to your web
site. This listing is free. It will be on the “Contact Members” page.
For $5.00 per month you can have an ad with words only plus a link to your web site on the “For Sale” page. An ad on the “For Sale” page with words plus up to two pictures plus links to your web site (similar to the Critter Ridge ad) would cost $10.00 per month.

Your Own
Web Page -
$20/month
A
full page on this web site with as much material as you want, with
links to that page on all of the other pages of this site, and with up
to ten
pictures, can be had for $20 per month if you are a member of the
North
Arkansas Meat Goat Association. We would set this page up for you,
free, but
you would
have to purchase and pay for at least six months in advance ($120.) We
would do
up to one update per month free, but would charge $5 per extra update
for more than one per month. You can have more than 10 pictures for
$1 per extra picture per month. Your page would not
have page links
to the other pages of the North Arkansas Meat Goat Association web site
but
would have a small link to the NAMGA home page in the lower left hand
corner, like the one on this page. There would be no ads or banners or
links to other web sites on your page. The link to critterridge on the
bottem of this page would not
be on your page. If your page is large we
can put links to various items on your
page like the ones on this page.
You would have your own URL that you can use to link directly to your page, It would be http:www.arkansasmeatgoat.com/thenameyouchoose.html. You can print this URL on your business cards and stationary and use it in directories for any meat goat associations or breed associations you might belong to.
