Use
the subject line
to sell yourself to the right person - tell them what they need to know
about you.
People
are less likely to open an advert which doesn't tell them very much...

Remember
some people will use a search so make sure the main part of your
entry includes useful information about your instrument and tastes, use
the simplest and most common words for things. The search wont care
if your advert is in capitals or lower case letters and it will look
in both the subject line and the main text.
Examples
of phrases which need extra keywords to
work well with a search
-
"Influences
Pink Floyd and Cream" - won't catch a search
for Rock
-
"We desperately
need a sticks technician" - won't catch a
search for Drummer
-
"Guitarist
from MK" - won't catch a search for Milton Keynes
You don't
have to write your entire entry like this just make sure the keywords get
included somewhere in the text, if you like just list them on the last
line of your advert
Example...
Jamie,
top axe man wants to get together with others for band, Floyd, Zep you
know the score,
call
me on 0121 111 1111
keywords

And
finally - Good Luck !!!
P.S.
Musicians Web is run on a totally voluntary basis by musicians for musicians
we are not funded - our growth is dependent entirely on musicians helping
us in return. If you have a printer could you spare...
-
One printout
?
-
Two minutes
with a pair of scissors ?
-
Three
minutes to say "Hi" to the next person you see playing or carrrying a guitar
case and hand them a small flyer ?
