If you came here by clicking on an ad from Goldtoken.com then you're in the right place!

Since Goldtoken has instituted a banner ad system I thought it might be a great opportunity for me to showcase my graphic design work.

• My name is Anton and for those who don't know me I play on Goldtoken.com under the username "ColonelCrockett".
• I am a full-time chess player, teacher, and blogger (contributing daily to my pet project Chessvine.com). I do all of the graphic design for my own website. That has taught me a thing or two and I'm willing to offer my know-how for a nominal fee (see chart below)
• If you'd like to see some samples of my work just check out Chessvine.com and My Flickr Photostream.

I looked up "Chess Blog" on Google and Chessvine.com does not yet appear on the first two pages. For those who don't know anything about search engine placement That's a recipe for website mediocrity. 80% of search engine searches end on page one.

Therefore, going into the near future Chessvine will be looking for opportunities to increase our rankings (google loves us for other search terms but it would be nice to see us listed high in "chess blog" and "chess").

If you own a website or blog be sure to mention chessvine.com and give me a link. Too often people forget how much power they have ... your little link is the start of a firestorm.
