As we continue to improve the way local business advertisers through targeted sponsored links, we have some new changes and additions that we have launched last week which has passed our quality assurance for visitors and sponsors.

What’s improved?
We have added a Restaurant Profile system which allows our sponsors to display an about us message or detailed information about their restaurant.  This helps the visitors connect to the restaurant by hearing what they have to say about themselves or seeing a special promotion.  This also helps the restaurant portray themselves to our hungry visitors and explain more about their establishment before the diner ever enter the place.

We have also added some social sharing features, at this point we are keeping this feature only for our sponsors and helps spread the listing in terms to their friends using Google+, Facebook and Twitter.  A Restaurant listing page can now go viral with one click and is spread across the visitors full network of friends, family and co-workers.  Some sponsors are already seeing over 50+ likes and Plus+1’s and twitter has yet to catch on.  When you like a restaurant, remember to click the like, helps spread the like to your friends.

Another great option that we have added for restaurants that sponsor their listing is a unique Search Engine keywords which deeply penetrates position of their restaurant for certain terms that the restaurant is unique for.  For example if a restaurant has “Happy Hour”, we would add that through their page so when visitor searches for Happy Hour on Staten Island, their listing would come up to the top or as close as possible for that term.

Our advertising has also improved by displaying more high targeted ads on Free Listing (non-self-sponsors) which now displays three targeted ads through text as well as the main banner header sponsor.   The system works miracles by targeting specific restaurants to display targeted ads which visitors clearly love.  Looking for a local pizzeria, now you can see a few nearby restaurants offering special deals and promotions, single click gets you to their restaurant page where you can see their specials, menus, photos and complete details.
