RE: Excel File for Chambers of Commerce / Trade Bodies / Industry Associations / Professional


Sanjivani


This looks good but , after the CITY column , we need a column for COUNTRY as well . This is very important , since a Marketer ( Subscriber of B2B ) will first select a COUNTRY and then , the CITIES within that country , to create his Mailing List

Hcp


CC: Shuklendu / Nitin,


Thank you for sending Excel Sheet Database of Countries / Cities

Sanjivani tells me that it contains 91 Countries and Approx 8,500 Cities

Using Google , she is trying to enter “ XYZ ( City Name ) + Chamber of Commerce “  to find , for each of these cities’ , its Chamber of Commerce web site , from which , she will compile the Excel Sheet

Of Course , this will be a slow / tortuous process , lasting several weeks

But , at the end of which , if we succeed in finding data for even 4,000 cities , it will give a huge boost to B2B web site

As far as creating a “ Mailing List “ of Chambers of Commerce is concerned (  to blast a Marketing Message ) , I plan to separate-out the process from our conventional Mailing List Creation page in B2B

I plan to work today / tomorrow on conceptualizing / developing a separate U / I for this purpose

Entering 8,500 City-Names in Google , one after another , is concerned , do you have any other simpler / faster idea , thru some S/W tool ?
