| About SaratogaNow |
 |
|
 |
 |
My name is R. Michael Tonnesen and I welcome you to SaratogaNow. I have been a business owner myself for most of my adult life and understand and enjoy the challenges of creating a business and trying to make it succeed. Among other ventures, during the 70's and 80's, my wife Jeanne and I owned the Log Jam Restaurant in Queensbury. I am specifically interested in using this guide to help small business people, artists, community groups, unique shops and new or deserving enterprises get the attention and exposure they need to succeed. I am asking for your support and your listing, and look forward to your continued success.

| Listing Policies and Restrictions
In order to maximize and sustain the long term value and viability of the SaratogaNow directory to it's users and to it's advertisers, policies will be implemented and enforced from time to time as deemed appropriate by management. SaratogaNow is your "simple, no-nonsense guide to everything local," and we intend to keep the policies simple as well.
Policy 1: Regarding Non-Discrimination
We respect and honor all members of the Saratoga area community and invite everyone to participate and benefit from everything we have to offer.
Policy 2: Regarding Acceptable Content
We encourage lively discourse in our forums and articles, but do reserve the right to restrict or remove content that we deem inappropriate to this venue or that is blatantly hateful or disrespectful to any group.
Policy 3: Regarding Free Basic Listings
We want every business and organization to be in the directory. This directory provides a level playing field where every entrepreneur or home business can get exposure and let people know they exist. Description will be limited to about 60 characters .
Policy 4: Regarding Premium Listings and Keywords
The first description field will be restricted to about 120 characters so that the initial display would take up about 2 lines in the category listings.
The extended description field may be used to further describe your business and to place keywords.
The intent of a keyword search is to make the directory more useful to site users, not simply for an individual business to maximize exposure by using keywords to gain exposure even where what they offer may not be appropriate or useful to the intent of the search. We reserve the right to establish and enforce new policies, even applying them to existing listings if the situation warrants, in our view.

Tips to Maximize The Appeal of Your Graphics
|
- Ideally, optimize your logo, picture or ad piece to no more than 450 pixels wide and 450 pixels high. If your graphic is wider, it will automatically be reduced. If it is higher, the width will be reduced to less than 450 pixels. Feel free to experiment. While you cannot control exact placement of your graphic, it is pretty easy to create a stunning promotional page.
- You may upload up to 4 graphic images to your listing.
- Graphic 1 will display at the top of the page
- Graphic 1, 2, 3 and 4 will display at the bottom of the page. With a little thought you can use these graphics to tell a story and attract people to your web site to learn more, or to your place of business. Surveys have shown that people who find a business in an online directory will visit this business 78% of the time.
- We reserve the right to re-optimize graphics for faster page loading.
- If you have a problem or need help, contact us. We will be glad to help.
