The PoA management is absolutely thrilled with how our first week has been going! It's hard to believe we're only in day 7 of our "public" operation with over 160 users and well over 1,300 posts (not including mine)!
But we also want to ensure that our growth continues, and that the PoA website becomes a resource easily found by internet using pilots and pilots-to-be everywhere.
To that end, we are interested in hearing your input on ways we at PoA can increase our Internet Visibility. To give you an idea of some of the idea's we've either already got in operation or are considering:
Currently In Operation
*Please note! PoA strongly requests of its users that references to our site on other aviation related sites be as polite, unobtrusive, and non-competitive as possible! We are not trying to elbow any other sites out of operation. Accordingly, we ask you not to create messages on other sites which serve no other purpose than to advertise our existence. Inclusion of a simple link or small banner link as a signature is more than sufficient representation. Please respect all other sites restrictions regarding advertising and soliciting when referencing Pilots of America.

- Internet Search Engines - We've already been submitted for "crawling" to all of the major search engines as well as approximately 40 less well known ones. While it takes weeks and even months before a site shows up on sites like Google and Yahoo, we've already got links starting to appear on AOL.
- Word of Mouth - That's how you kind people help spread the word about us when talking to fellow pilots.
- Assisting in creation of "Links to Us" - HTML code you can embed in signatures to unobtrusively reference us in your emails and posts on other message boards. *Please see footnote
- Merchandise - Possible creation of "Pilots of America" coffee cups, T-Shirts, Bumper Stickers, etc, via an online merchant service such as Cafe Press. (Would also help subsidize PoA operation)
- Printable Business Cards and Signs for PoA that you can print, cut out, and place/hang at your favorite aviation hangouts. (Airport lounges, pilot shops, etc.)
