About: Sedona.biz was started in April, 2006 as a local news, arts and entertainment website.  We also have special sections on Jerome, green issues, vacation planning, and wine tours; and a tourist/business directory, classifieds, and a community bulletin board.

Search Engines: Our site consistently ranks in the top non-sponsored search results under "Sedona News" in Yahoo, MSN, and Google, and our articles appear regularly in the top search engines results for a variety of Sedona related keywords.  Our articles are also published regularly by Topix, Google News, and CNN.

Weekly e-newsletter: In November 2007, we began emailing a weekly e-newsletter each Friday to over 5,000 subscribers with embedded advertising and press releases.  In 2010, we began emailing a weekly "SedonaBiz Coupon Wednesday."

Who do we reach?
Because we tell our readers what's happening in Sedona in any given week, and what to do, we reach locals, day trippers, second homeowners, and tourists; and because we deliver Sedona info over the Internet, we can reach visitors before they get here and locals before they leave their house.  Can your local newspaper do that?  About 50% of our visitor traffic is from Arizona; people who likely come to Sedona on a regular basis.  Try Sedona.biz to increase your results.

Press Releases
Our stated policy is to assess a per press release fee unless you are a regular advertiser with Sedona.biz (at least 6 months a year), in which case we will publish up to 2 press releases free each month and include them in our Friday newsletter.
