Can You Afford Not To Be Online?
Affordable Local Internet advertising!
My Norfolk Connection.com is a Community Guide owned and operated locally.
It is very important to remember that the Internet is global and that clicks on most Websites can be from anywhere in the world! Here on My Norfolk Connection.com , most viewers are in the local area, and your business receives local clicks. We are local, and we bring you local customers! Area residents visit our site daily for their local news, weather, sports, entertainment, contests, and more.
Be very cautious of Websites that brag about how much traffic they get! Traffic doesn't sell advertising! What sells your business is people that are not just clicking by from anywhere in the world, but instead are local White House area residents staying on our site for a longer period of time because of the LOCAL CONTENT.
Your Advertising will be seen by local Hampton Roads area residents again and again! Your advertising will be seen on our site 24 hours a day!
Unlike print advertising, which is one-and-done, tossed out with the household trash, Internet advertising is online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. It's there when viewers want it and search for it.
Unlike broadcast advertising, which has a shelf-life of just seconds and must be repeated--and paid for repeatedly--to get people to remember it . . . Internet advertising is online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. It's there when viewers want it and search for it.

We attract viewers to the our local area with top positions in most major search engines via paid advertising of our site, ensuring that your business gets the best possible exposure. We spend a portion of every advertising dollar promoting the site and driving traffic to your business and to your Web site.
Most searchers are window shoppers. If they don't like what they see in the window, they won't be coming back. Without good content, our site becomes a ghost town with a big "Road Closed" sign in front of it. So with us, content is priority one!
It's the content that drives people to our site. Even if they use a search engine to get here, what good does it do if Google refers a million visitors to our site if they don't find what they're looking for? We concentrate on good content, so our viwers keep coming back. And keep seeing your ads.
