Notary Registries
I have put together a list of searchable notary registries. NotaryRotary.com is one of those listed, of course.
If you want to access it, you can link to it from my homepage or email me.
Should you decide to take a look at it and see any worthwhile notary registries I have left off, let me know via email.
My email is [e-mail address].

Re: Notary Registries - Notary Website Marketing Tips
Andy, Done.
----------------------
I am not trying to be secretive. If you go to my NotaryRotary.com profile which you can access by using the link on my name (BrendaTx) you'll see my website link. Use that and you will go to my site. The link is in red.
The main thing is that I do not want to be offensive to NotaryRotary.com...and I also want to create an exhaustive method of notary searching, I don't want to overlook any viable search links for notaries. Why would I do that?
The reason I do things like this is for marketing. One of my "friends" here just wrote me and said "Do you ever sleep????" Well, not much on some days, and on others, I sleep a lot!
I just have one job to do today so far. When I am not working, I market. To that end, today I am updating some of the pages on my website to make better for marketing purposes. Here's what I mean...
(1) Search engine viability. If you add good content to your website with a lot of good key words, you eventually get picked up and your website will begin to show up one Google.com. In this instance, a list of search tools to find notaries is "good" content for a notary website.
(2) Marketing Tip: If you market via email, give them something to bookmark on your site. Make it a "sticky" site that they will come back to.
(3) Marketing Tip: Put "articles" on your website that will pick up the search engine look ups. I don't write stuff to impress people with, I do it for putting "content" on my site that will draw look ups. If you have not submitted your site to www.dmoz.org, you should. You will get indexed there if you have good content to offer. From dmoz.org you will get indexed into MSN.com and a few others.
(4) If you have notary content on your site, consider adding Google AdSense to your site. Why? Well...I don't have it in "black and white" that Google will index you quicker that way, however, I am getting a few Google and Froogle hits that I did not get before adding AdSense. (Let me explain also that Google AdSense will also generate a penny here and there into my account if you click through the Google AdSense ads on my website. I don't do that to get rich - I am trying it to see what it will do to help me get listed. In a month, those "ad" links have generate a grand total of $1.79.)

Re: Notary Registries - Notary Website Marketing Tips
I'm still in the process of building my website. Its taking longer than I expected because of the same reasons you mentioned above. I have a web analysis list of all the key words that have high return from search engines, this was done from a program included in an ebook I bought for building a web business. I have one webpage that would contain the neccessary info/links a new notary/surfer might find helpful with some click through "cent".
Gotta run, I'll check out the link later. Thanks again Brenda

Re: Notary Registries - Notary Website Marketing Tips
My theory is to get it out there with words on it and after that to add to it until you know where you want to go with it.
Once upon a time I'd worry over being perfect and having it exactly right, but then I watched my son work on his personal home page and started checking his search engine popularity. The sooner you get something with a few of the good words posted the sooner you'll get some rankings.
Just for fun, you can look at
http://www.marketleap.com
periodically and check your links on google, msn and a few others. Right now, my score is at 42, but a month ago, it was 19. My website went online in March 04.
I am pretty pleased with the more than double in increase I have had as a result of adding content to my site.

Brenda, you never cease to amaze me. You are a true 21st Century Renaissance woman. Do you also do particle physics? Chaos theory? How about heart surgery? Hot air ballooning? Oil changes? Xeroscaping? Grandfather clock repair?

LOL: Hughness said something I may want to frame:
"Brenda, you never cease to amaze me. You are a true 21st Century Renaissance woman. Do you also do particle physics? Chaos theory? How about heart surgery? Hot air ballooning? Oil changes? Xeroscaping? Grandfather clock repair?"
------------
Oil changes - yes. Definitely oil changes. The rest of them...not so much because I have not gotten an opportunity to give it a whirl. I figure I could IF I just had the chance.
But, I do know a little bit about fishing, making lye soap, firearms, tax preparation, and I am a fair seamstress and gardener. I have also been known to keep a dark room set up in my bathroom to develop B&W photography.
Currently, I believe I am mellowing a little. I have come to enjoy sidewalk chalk sketching, as well as coloring in coloring books with small children. I only use Binney & Smith Crayons--none of the knock offs--and I will not even consider a connect-the-dot page--I only color in real coloring books...none of that "activity" page crap for me.
I think I was one of those little quiet but very "hyperactive" children because my parents kept plenty of old clocks and other mechanisms for me to destroy so that I'd stay out of the back of the television and radios. As an adult, I am a Jack of All Trades, and master of none, so they say. But, I have a good time at whatever it is that I do, and nobody stays any busier collecting and learning bits of unimportant minutia than I do!

Brenda,
Thanks for the lead on www.marketleap.com. Wonderful information. Just for fun, I compared my site to yours, Hughs, and Pauls. Paul is in the 100's!!! Way to go Paul!

Brenda,
I checked out your webpage, and must say it is very detailed and better put together than most I have looked at.

Re: Notary Registries - Learned something!
Thanks, Stephanie. That is really a very nice thing to say.
I learned two things from this thread
More ways to search for notaries:
I started out with 13 on my list. I think I am up to 18 now.
Another tidbit that I "thought" was certain before:
Lenders watch this board - two visited my list of notary databases within minutes of the first post. I don't know "who" they were, of course, but I know these particular two hits came from lender owned IPs.
I'd say my money here on NotaryRotary.com is well spent. Way to go, Harry! Thanks for the opportunity your site affords notaries and for the generosity you have given us by letting our postings link to our profile, and for our profiles being linked to our websites and email.
I don't know if all those functions are "Premier Member" specific or not, but I appreciate NotaryRotary.com for that purpose. At the price, you cannot beat it.
