MORE DAILY, SMOKIES SPECIFIC UNIQUE SESSIONS,
THAN ANYONE IN THE WORLD!!!

EVERY DAY There Are THOUSANDS Of Smokies Specific Surfers That Will NEVER Use Another Site For Smokies Specific Information Again!!! (INCLUDING Search Engines!)

bullet

Ask Our Competitors How Many Company Owned, Smokies Specific Pages They Have...We Have Over 13,000 Pages...More Than EVERY Other Company Owned Pages From Smokies Specific Chambers, Dept of Tourisms and Portals ***PUT TOGETHER***

ASK THIS ONE QUESTION AND IT'S ALL OVER...

    Ask ANY other source of advertising: 
  1. 1) How Much Is The Monthly Advertising Charge?
  2. 2) Ask Them How Many Company Owned, Smokies Specific Pages They Own?
  3. 3) DIVIDE The MONTHLY CHARGE By The Number For Question 2 Above...
  4. 4) NOW You Have Their TRUE COST PER PAGE...
  5. 5) MAKE SURE YOU ARE SITTING DOWN! (You'll See Why At #6 Below <SMILE>)
  6. 6) Multiply THEIR Cost Per Page TIMES 13,000 Pages (17,000+ Photos) We Own (as of 2/2008) ...And Get Ready For A MIND BLOWING Figure... (PLUS We Are Adding Approximately 100 Additional Pages PER WEEK)
  7. 7) No More Steps, No More Figuring, No More Pondering....THE CASE IS CLOSED!!!

NOTE: Accommodations advertisers -> HOW MANY TOTAL UNITS (Not just how many COMPANIES) is your current advertiser advertising???? THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of UNITS to 'divvy up' their leads between????????????

     Now...Let us tell you about a 'SOURCE' for www.DiscoverTheSmokies.com that DWARFS all our  search engine  generated sessions COMBINED every day....and that is the folks that simply type in www.DISCOVERTHESMOKIES.COM !!! 

The UNBELIEVABLE Number Of Sessions We Receive by:

1) FOLKS That are referred by blown-away, enthusiastic FRIENDS...FAMILY...AND CO-WORKERS!!!! (We have in-advertently become a replacement choice for search engine use, for ANY Smokies related info)

2) Folks RETURNING (some confessing MULTIPLE times PER WEEK!)

3) We have received comments that entire CHURCHES and COMMUNITIES are enthusiastically recommending DiscoverTheSmokies.com and one man wrote QUOTE "WE WERE THE TALK OF THE TOWN!!!"

4) WE ARE SELF CONTAINED! BLESSED with God's Word & comprehensive Smokies coverage, return/word of mouth generated sessions, we are not dependant on the Search Engines 'latest and greatest' search algorithms that flip-flop search results/positions of normal businesses.  If every search engine on the planet went bye-bye today, we would STILL be busy!  Hmmm, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you"  Do you figure THOUSANDS of daily unique sessions (souls!) might, also, fit under the category of ALL THESE THINGS?  Words just do fall so short in revealing the depth of the riches of God and His GLORY!

5) Our PURPOSE is to distribute God's Word throughout the world, (which has not, can not, nor every will return void.)  EVERY PAGE You find here about the Smokies  is but a METHOD to deliver GOD'S PRECIOUS WORD...This IS our BUSINESS plan (short and simple)...to Be About The FATHER'S BUSINESS <GIANTsmile>

EXACT WORD FOR WORD quote of a comment received just a few days ago, cut and pasted from her email:

FoundUsIn: aol keyword

KeywordsUsed: fun things to do in Gatlinburg, Tn.

CommentsOrMoreInfoNeeded: I found the DiscoverTheSmokies.com websites very helpful. We planned our entire stay through the website. I like that it gave pices, age requirements, and other info. My kids have been on it for days planning their week. I definitely give it the best rating possible.

---Vicki M. (Locust Fork Alabama)

We receive comments similar to this MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY...Praise the Lord for what is becoming one of the premiere area specific Travel websites ever created!

IF you think these type comments are unique...ask a few of our advertisers, they WITNESS comments from folks literally BLOWN AWAY throughoutt the day!

THOUSANDS OF TOP 10 SEARCH ENGINE/PRIVATE ENDORSEMENTS
(Many #1 And Top 10 Matches!)
We Have Been Blessed With:
bullet

THOUSANDS Of Pages Indexed In Search Engines!!!

bullet

THOUSANDS Of Churches Fully Endorse Our Family Oriented Sites (We are even Recommended In Some Church Bulletins)!

bullet

THOUSANDS Of These Indexed Pages Are #1 Results And/Or In The Top 10 Results!!!!

bullet

Too Many Sources To List...Ask Our Advertisers About The Comments Received DAILY!!!!

* To Be Fair, Search Engines Have Less & Less Effect On Our Marketbase. Search Engines Are Now Responsible For Less Than 20% Of Our Daily Sessions, & Those That Do Find Us In This Manner, After One Visit Will Probably Never Go Anywhere Else Again) - (Ex: How Many Folks Search For Auctions? They SIMPLY Just Type EBAY.com -> Less & Less Folks, Everyday, SEARCH For ANYTHING Smokies Related,  They SIMPLY Type DISCOVERTHESMOKIES.COM <~ Praise God!!! (We use to advertise in the pay search engines such as Findwhat, Kanoodle, etc., but this is quickly becoming a 'Why Bother" mute point <smile>)

NOTE: We never intended to be a 'threat' to search engines or even other advertising companies, HECK, we do not even solicit advertisers by calling, mailing, emailing anymore, whoever the Lord leads our way is plenty for us, (what other chamber/portal/etc. can say that?) We SIMPLY are adding Verse to the internet, and showing folks considering vacation spots just how MUCH there is to do in the SMOKIES!

REVOLUTIONARY ONLINE MARKETING

     We had one of, if not THE first online business back in  the days before BBS's evolved into the internet.  We pioneered the way for online marketing, and earned he reputation of stretching the technological window.  Along with 10+ years of working ACTIVELY IN the hospitality trade, we have not only an exhaustive online marketing background, but also an insatiable desire to exploit existing and future technology into the Smokies absolute authority pertaining to Smoky Mountains area information.  We WILL leave no stone unturned!

REVOLUTIONARY BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

       We NOW offer more than 30+ extremely focused categories, which will break down into many subcategories!  For example, our OUTDOOR FUN currently has 12 subcategories, which many portals count as separate websites.  Folks our definition of a 'website' or 'focus' is not 10-15 pages of basic info, our www.DiscoverCadesCove.com site alone has over 1,000 pages!  We do NOT include advertisers pages in our counts, which totaling OVER 13,000 pages as of March , 2008 (projecting THOUSANDS MORE pages SOON!)  and growing DAILY. The Lord has blessed us with so much content, we are NOW LARGER than all the other Smoky Mountain Dept. of Tourism, Chambers of Commerce, portals, etc.company owned pages COMBINED TOGETHER!!!!!!
