Buy a link to Surfarama
That's right, you can now buy links to Surfarama.com for just $100 a piece.
For $100 I will send you the 'HTML' code to put on your webpage so that people looking at your webpage (aka 'web surfers') will be able to 'click' on the link and automatically be routed via the internet to this website. Don't worry if you are not a techie I can help you understand the 'HTML' code.
And to make it extra useful to people looking at your webpages you can choose any one of several hundred fascinating articles or 'posts' on Surfarama.com for your very own internet link...the options are almost limitless.

Credit for this idea has to go to the geniuses at whereis.com who charge $100 for a link to a map for a specific address...I mean how cool would it be to have a link on your business website that links to a map showing your actual address. OMG, $100 per link is cheap when you consider that customers will now be able to find you.
...oh wait, you can do that on just about ANY map site in the entire known universe, except whereis.com for free.
LOL, man you had me really confused until I got to the end. My sarcasdar is obviously turned off tonight!
Nice one :)
Stayed tuned, Whereis.com is in the process of rebuilding the site, and part of our rebuild is to introduce a free map link. We will be launching a beta version of the new site in early November…. you can have a sneak peak in the meantime at:
http://beta.whereis.com
The free map link will be introduced in a later release, early next year.
Would love to hear any feedback you have on our work so far.

Hi Belinda,
Well don’t I feel like quite the snarky blogger now! Thanks for taking my sarcasm with the humour intended.
I suspected that the whole buy a link thing was probably a legacy of some much older strategy. I was just surprised to see it was persisting to this day when online mapping has come so far. It made me think that perhaps Whereis was slowly dying on the vine, so I am pleased to hear that is not the case and that a new version is around the corner.
I’ll definitely take a look at the new beta version and give you any feedback I have.
Cheers
Charles
