My name is Matt, I run the online side of my friend and boss's petstore. Scaly Dave's Herp Shack, in Manhattan KS. We have a website that I'm in the process of building, konzaherp.com. We've been in this for a while now, we breed leo's, cresties, and fat-tails, along with ball pythons, bearded dragons, chameleons, and some other misc reptiles and invertebrates. We are dedicated to the education of reptile keepers, and we simply love geckos. It will be nice to finally see an American gecko forum get off the ground.

welcome glad to have people like you on the site . Have you considered signing up you site to our topsite ?

Quote:

Hello, I have recently created www.geckofile.co.nr as a gecko based site where buyers and sellers can get their message out all over the internet and hopefully sell there geckos quickly and easily. You might be wondering how this works ? let me explain... The site is fully google indexed which means everything put on the site gets added to the google indes within 7 days . Here is a list of the last 100 visits to the site (as you can see most are from google searches ) : Jul-29 06:26:58 geckofile.co.nr/ / Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322;

Here's how . We are 1 of 2 gecko topsites and the only site with both a gecko forum and topsite . Also our topsite is on the home page meaning when you go to www.geckofile.co.nr you get a portal with a topsite in it . When some one finds our site through google what's the fist thing they see ? The top 10 topsites !!! Meaning you get free advertising all you have to do is put a link on your site . Now you are saying "so I see how this works for the person who has a site but what if I breed geckos on a small scale and dont have a site ?" We have a forum for buying and selling geckos and all posts on our forum are indexed in google within 7 days . As you can see if this works this site would become one of the easiest places to buy and sell geckos sort of like a kingsnake.com but just for geckos . For those of you that have geckos and don't breed and sell the you might be wondering what's in it for you ? Well as gecko sellers come in they have experience and as you post your question on the forum they as well as people who see it on google can easily reply to your question quick ,easy, and free . So what are you waiting for ? feel free to sign up for a FREE account today .

just to show you what our site can do
