Augs 2008 updates

We would like to update our readers with the CPV. This summer and been very busy for both of us ( Judy and Shawnette ) with both our personal lifes. Shawnette is recovering from her cancer treatment and doing well but still recoving ... please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Judy is still adjusting with taking over full time care with both her parents in her home. This has been a major adjustment for her and her family with both her parents illness.

This has not slowed down the CPV staff in advertizing and promotions it just has taken alittle more time to ad new ads and thank you all for understanding if it took us a few days longer with our work.

The following changes have been made...

• We have made a few small changes to our welcome page today.
• Spot Light Crafter of the month has been removed and will return in Oct. for the holidays.
• We added a few of our website sponsors to the lower part of the welcome page. Please drop by and visit these sites they provide a lot of wonderful crafty information.
• Our Craft Give Away page will start back up in Oct. 2008 so do not forget to join our news letter or join us as one of our life time members to have a chance to win once of great drawings.
• We are currently looking for a new editor for our news letters if this might be something you would like to do please email us. info(AT)crafterspeddlervillage.com
• We have a nice Ad coming out in the upcoming Mercantile Gatherings Magazine !!

We we hope all our readers and visitors have had a great summer! Be sure to check back often on any updates with the CPV.

CPV Updates

Website tips ~ During the summer time things kind of get slow so this is the time to do some spring and summer cleaning in your websites and make a few changes. I like to go into all our websites we have listed make sure the links are good website have not closed etc.. We have found that banners are nice but the text is much better with search engines so we have changed some of our packages due to this reason. What is much better is rich in text and having good keywords in your text with exchanged links with your website. So we are offering just banners or just text and combo pak with both banner and text in the CPV.

#1 Today we updated and cleaned up all our links under all the categories fixing all the text with same font and size.

#2 We removed a few categories Pottery, Baskets, and Craft Supplies we have had these areas listed for over a year now and no one has seemed to need these areas to list under even for free when we offered. If you need a category we do not have showing please email us a request we would be happy to add this for your website.

#3 Next phase will be going into all categories and placing a text link with all our ads who have done Banner and Text we wish to make our pages as friendly to search engines so it help everyone who has advertised with us under our categories.

#4 in the next few weeks we will be updating our Members Directory. This will be our A to Z list of all websites listed with us in text only.

#5 We are gearing up for another new big GIFT GIVEAWAY !!! If your interested in being a sponsor.
