My website offers detailed city information within the US organized by city. The amount of content is overwhelming and paying data entry people to enter the info by hand is taking too much time and money.
I am looking for someone who can gather large amounts of content pulled from the web, and program something where they can upload the content onto my site quickly, adding hundreds of listings at once rather than each individually.
The data MUST be accurate, so language skills are important. Data includes hotels,museums, spas, laundromats, hospitals, car services, shopping, restaurants, clubs/bars, etc..
Site is very similar in scope to Citysearch, with the added convenience of a free post bulleting similar to Craigslist.
If you can design a program that will pull content from many different sites and then plug into my site, please contact me with the amount of time you will need, what you need from me, and an estimate of cost.
