Not for long, only the first to list in every UK Town is free, then it's a massive fiver a year.


And who directs people to find "DialaCab.tel"....? do use " FindaDialaCab.tel" ?

I thought some of them would see the free advert you're going to put in your cab for us.

Others might use the iPhone or Android app. being created, the odd one or two might see us on page 1 of Google, or on links on 100's of other websites, or read about us in the local and national press, or online articles.

Who knows perhaps even by word of mouth, when they see how easy it is to use http://DialaCab.tel on their mobile.

Not sure the FindaDialaCab.tel will be very useful, perhaps SarcasmatTaxiDriverOnline.tel might be better.



So you assume we are all sarcastic!!..nice...sadly we have seen this sort of advertising a hundred times...Oh, and please do not try and bite that hand that drives the Cabs you rely on for Business..

No one asked you to Advertise in here..so if you get knocked then thats just how it goes..if you cant take it then dont punt your product..seeeeeeeeeeple!

google dialacab and you'll find numerous others already using the name, including https://www.dialacab.co.uk/Default.aspx. Don't you think they may get a tad upset? They already have an app for smartphones as well.

If I happen to be in say Nottingham and I search for "taxi in Nottingham", will you be on page 1 on Google or do I have to type a particular search phrase to find you?

Obviously there are no guarantees, or we'd all be on page 1. The only way we show up on page 1 at the moment is by typing "dialacab.tel"



Not much chance of anyone looking for a taxi typing "dialacab.tel" is there?

Then I suspect you will become as rich as the others doing the same thing.

Don't care about becoming rich, do care about you thinking it's just the same old thing. Mobile phone use is growing by the second, http://DialaCab.tel is not the same old thing, it' a new technology directory specifically aimed at your mobile phone using customers.

I wish you well then. :roll: :roll:

If I type in dialacab into the google search I get this lot

https://www.dialacab.co.uk/Default.aspx


That asides...if were to look for a Taxi on the net I'd be using Taxi as the Keyword followed by the Town, im not sure I'd enter Dialacab, I just dont think that title springs to mind...unless I'd seen it advertised a lot.
