"We are here to help your Online Presence
be as effective as it can be."We have been providing Internet Services since October, 1995 and officially started publishing our online directory on March 12, 1996. Since then, we have seen a lot of developments take place on the Web and we have been working hard to keep up to the pace. We offer a full range of Web Publishing and Internet Consulting services at reasonable prices.
The directory at the Glide site was developed to help local businesses make their Internet Presence known to potential customers. The Web is a vast place and being found is not always an easy task. This directory is here to help people in greater Vancouver and beyond easily find services and other businesses located here. We are constantly updating the site and welcome any suggestions that you may have for improvements.
6 Tips For Promoting your site:
We are committed to making this site a premier link to all Internet resources most important to and favoured by residents of the south-west coast of British Columbia. Our business directory contains thousands of entries with quick access to local areas and our other pages are designed to get you where you want to go -- fast.
- Register, Register, Register. Submit your site URL with all of the Search Engines and Directories. To quickly register at 200 Search Engines and Directories, use our Site Submission service.
- Include your URL or web address on your business cards, shop window, correspondence, advertising, and promotional literature. If you sell to other businesses or include a guarantee to your customers, your website address on the invoice is particularly effective because this is one piece of paper that will be held onto for a long period of time.
- Encourage other people and businesses to link their web pages to yours. Many sites will have a link page and a reciprocal arrangement is usually welcome.
- Be creative and update on a regular basis. This will keep them coming back. An on-line promotion or coupon offer can also be enticing to surfers.
- Monitor local news groups such as van.general, bc.general, van.forsale and van.jobs. Pick your spots and enter the discussion. Direct advertising is frowned upon, but including your name, slogan and web address in your signature is perfectly acceptable.
- Provide a link back to Glide. We’re here to help others to find you. If in a month or two, a visitor has misplaced your address, they will know that they can find you through Glide.
We appreciate the assistance that we get from you to update our directories. If you would take the time to complete a form and advise us of any of the following, we would be very grateful:
- Update an URL not obtained previously.
- Add a listing not currently listed.
- Change of address, incorrect phone number or business name.
