Greetings from the Sunshine State,

I just wanted to say what a great site you have here. It's funny because a friend had emailed the link for camping supplies. I suddenly noticed all of the stuff in/around Brookville. I grew up in Brookville and am now married to a Navy Counselor, so needless to say, I could stay on your site all day. There's so much info and it really takes me "back home"!
Thanks,
Lisa Roux

Hello Butlerwebs.com!

I look at your web site all the time but I noticed today that your monthly
holiday & observance calendar hasn't been updated for next year (2007).
Will you be continuing with it? All my co-workers and I enjoy it very much!
Thanks for all the weird and wonderful holidays & observances you post,
your site is always sure to bring out a smile.

Thanks again,
Krisitna Worrall

I am with the Village of Vernon Hills, just north of Chicago and I have been using your web site for almost 8 months now and I want to say that it is awesome. On a weekly basis I send out a broadcast email for about 1500 residents which includes events, activities and other information. I also include something I call "What happened on this date" . The residents love it and area always wanting to know my source of information and now I just found the Motivational page and I love it. The information that you maintain is wonderful. Keep up the good work and thanks.

Thank you for your site! I work for a non-profit in Allegheny County that is working to provide services in other counties like Beaver and Butler. This web site has been incredibly helpful to me. Much of this area is rural and therefore, many businesses just aren�t on the web. It�s a little behind the times. Having lives in Seattle for several years, I�m used to EVERYTHING having a web site. If it were not for your site, my best friend would have to be the Yellow Pages. I�m barely old enough to know what the Yellow Pages are for! I�ve always used the Internet as a tool to find what I�m looking for. So thank you for electronifying this not-so-progressive part of the world!

Testimonial Letter from Happel Laser & Vein Centre (www.happellaser.com) in reference to their Enhanced Ads on ButlerWebs.com

Letter reads as follows:

Dear Linda & Rich:

Thank you very much for your great service and for placing our classified ads (their ads were actually enhanced ads) on your fantastic web site. Although you cautioned that it may take a few months to be recognized by the search engines, we have already noticed that our ranking due to your site has improved on both Google and Yahoo. Advertising with your web site has been one of the best values for our advertising dollar and we have advertised with the yellow pages, television, radio and billboards.

I would highly recommend anyone considering advertising in the Pittsburgh or in the northern Pennsylvania regions to consider placing an ad with you. Not only are the ads effective, but your personal touch and your warm correspondence has made working with you a real pleasure.

Sincerely,
John L. Happel, Jr., M.D.

We have had numerous comments from advertisers and businesses with free basic listings about the response they receive from their ads and listings on ButlerWebs. A contractor received a large multi-thousand dollar contract in the Cranberry Township area because of his enhanced ad, an excavator receives numerous calls from his ad and landed a large job in the Butler area, another advertiser sold their house because of their ad. We have received numerous notes with positive feedback - which we love to get!

My sister (who lives in the Philadelphia area) decided that it was time to find a new home for her dog. The kids were grown, everyone was busy outside of the home, and their 2-year-old dog was lonely and needed more attention. Although our classified ad section is targeted to the Western PA areas, I told her I'd place an ad for her anyway (who knows - just maybe someone would be willing to meet her half way.) I placed the ad - and two days later she called me. Chester was in a new home. And get this! The person who answered her ad happened to live in the Philadelphia area also - in fact, it was her dental hygienist! What a small world!

Our daughter and son-in-law were in the process of moving to Colorado and came to the Pittsburgh area to stay with family while their house was being built. After traveling with their dog (a Mastiff), they realized that he needed a new home. So we placed a classified ad for them about 9PM one evening. At 8AM the next morning, they got a phone call from their ad and a new home was found for their dog!

Thank you so much for this service... we do not get much publicity, and being a non-profit organization, it is very hard to come up with the money to keep our center open, let alone advertise! THANK YOU!!!!

Good morning.
     We recently added Legacy to your web site and are extremely pleased with the immediate results.
     We have since added a chocolate fountain to our established services and would like to mention it in our listing. Will you please tell me how we can revise our ad to include this information?
     Thank you for your assistance!

Hello Linda & Rich,
     I just wanted you to know that your website is FANTASTIC! I discovered it a couple of months ago, and it's far and away, the BEST SITE for and about Western PA that I've seen. (And I've checked out at lot of them.)
     I'm involved in a lot of different activities, and my husband and I have a small collectibles business, and I have to tell you that for just about every aspect of our lives, your website has provided a wealth of valuable resources and information.
     Thanks SO much for maintaining the best site going, and I do tell my friends and colleagues about your site. I will continue to spread the word.
     Also, thank you, thank you for the listings of the Master Gardeners events (I didn't even know you had a Home & Garden section--man, am I going to use that one!). The Backyard Gardening series has classes scheduled every month till summer right now, so if it's okay, I'll be submitting the rest of the schedule to you in the next couple of weeks.
     Thanks again so much, and best wishes to you both for the holidays!
Sincerely,

November 2004: I'd like to cancel the ad for the goats. I'm happy to say they are sold, thanks to your site. Thank you for the great free ads placement.

Me again, Linda...
Enjoying the many visitors coming from your site to visit my Christmas Pages. Makes it all worthwhile, sharing my writings with others.
I see where you have inspirational/encouragement sites. If you like, I have my site, Mirrored Reflections, that I feel would be nice on your site also. If interested, the link is http://agathaweeks.com - Inspirational poems dealing in feelings, self love, encouragement, addiction, and troubled relationships.
Thanks again,
Agatha Weeks
P.S. What an inspiration you are to soooo many people. I know it is time consuming, for the little I do is also.
