Features Overview

Welcome to the Anchor Pages advertising overview. Below is a list of the different features designed to generate more customers for your marine related business. A basic listing is free but the best features are available in our affordable advertising packages.

• Geo Markers and Directory Listings
  Your Geo Marker is your mark on the map! It shows where your business or point of interest is located so others can find you. This is usually generated by your street address but you can also click and drag the marker if it needs to be more accurate.
  
  When someone drags their cursor across your Geo Marker, a dialog box appears with your company name, address, and phone number. Your information is also listed in our directory and can be found when searching by name, city, state, area code, or zip code.
• Categories and Tags
  Your directory listing includes placement of your business in one or more Anchor Pages marine categories and subcategories. You can also assign "Tags" or keywords to your listing. Both of these tools help customers find you when they search the internet. They also make it easier for people to find you when they browse AnchorPages.com.
• Anchor Homepage
  A custom homepage on AnchorPages.com allows you to put your best face forward. You can post your logo, photos, and descriptions to create an advertisement that makes the customer want to visit your business. Your page can contain a large amount of detail or can simply be an attractive enticement for the user to visit your own web site.

• Events and Trade Shows
  If you are coordinating an event such as a boat show, fishing tournament or sailing regatta, Anchor Pages is your best friend. More people will learn about your event, more people will visit your Web site, and each of your exhibitors will get more exposure. For more information, visit the Events and Shows page.
• Local Knowledge
  Great fishing holes, scenic paddle routes, good surf breaks, dive spots, etc. are best defined with local knowledge. Information can be submitted by any user wanting to share. Geo Markers for these locations are a different color to separate them from commercial accounts.
  
  Informational markers can also serve as promotional material for members with the appropriate advertising package. Promotional entries contain the advertiser's name and links to their Anchor Homepage. All submissions are approved before posting.
• Calendars, Blogs, and Web Cams
  Each region of Anchor Pages has a calendar for water related events. Any user is permitted to submit events for posting. Events of an advertorial nature are approved for members with the appropriate advertising package. Promotional entries contain the advertiser's name and links to their customized Anchor Homepage.
  
  Members can also participate in a regional Anchor Blog or post links to marine related web cams. This information can serve as promotional material for members with the appropriate advertising package. Promotional entries contain the advertiser's name and links to their Anchor Homepage. All submissions are approved before posting.
