Tucson Small Business Networking Group One Year Old

Tucson Small Business Networking Group – The original post

I am way stoked, thrilled and jumping for joy over the launching of our Ning based social network. I had been very active on another similar business networking association here in Tucson. However, that sites owner banned me from his site. That was Thursday afternoon and by Sunday evening this site was a reality. It was only a matter of time before I launched my own site.

Heck, I was putting in two hours a day on local social networking on a site that I did not own. So now, I am putting in the effort building a network of my own. I get to call the shots here and I like that. One of the advantages for me is that I don’t have a profit motive here. While I do hope to acquire business through referrals, the site is not meant to be a profit center.

I really love what I do and I love sharing what I know. There are so many tremendous opportunities available that I want to share that with other local small business owners. In many way I see myself as a small business advocate. Buying web related services can be a daunting task and fraught with anxiety. It is very easy to make mistakes. I should know I have made my share so that my members don’t have too.

I have purchased the domain Tucson Small Business Networking Group it should hopefully be redirecting traffic to the site soon. I have very high expectations that we will be ranking high for the search Tucson networking groups very soon.

Update: The redirect is in place and working. The normal 301 however would not work Ning required what is know as a Cname to work properly. This was news to me! I must admit that I still learn something new almost everyday in this business.

You can Optimize your pages but it is based on the Page Title matching the post title which is OK. However, with WordPress I can make the Post title and Page different which I do almost every time. Ning also does allow you to choose your page description. While page description does not affect search rankings it does affect click thoughts to your website. Since about 45% of searchers will decide to visit your site based on the description this is very important. Given this is a not for profit site I can live with this.

Are you ready to assist in growing this business networking association?

The Update One Year Later: Well, it has been an interesting ride this show is coming to an end. Ning is the company that is hosting the site and is the software’s creator now is going fee based. Even though it is a very small amount of money I will be closing the site down. I lost my interest many months ago.
