George here with some interesting stuff for South Texas musicians. For the new year, new approaches must be taken to insure that your band is getting all the necessary attention it deserves.
At RGVRockCity.com (formerly TenetCommunity.com, which is still active) has always provided a free and central location to upload your band performance dates so internet goers can easily find your information. This along with 1 gigabyte of storage space for music and images to show off to your friends and fans, and a minimal use of ads (to help pay some bills).
For the past 9 years, I personally have researched search engine behavior from the information gathered by our servers and have gained a vast knowledge of how to promote yourself with relevant and updated content online. The sole purpose has been used to promote RGVRockCity.com and TenetCommunity.com, which then, turns around and promotes our local arts and music scene.
The following search-phrases as an examples:
Google: rock concerts 2010 rio grande valley or rock concerts rgv 2010
There are more search terms that can be used, however, the point is our work has placed us on the first page of the number one referrer online, Google.com. We trail only those that have invested thousands of dollars in marketing research and underhanded business schemes (which I don’t mind but it’s hardly community driven).
Our community driven Web site helps promote local South Texas arts and culture by allowing our users to update their own RGVRockCity.com domain. In addition, information is reflected on the front page of the site which brings more awareness to the artists and musicians (or anyone that wants to blog, for that matter).
Are you scared of trying something new? Maybe. Either way, we’re not new so there’s no worries. If you’ve never visited, then it is new to you and in that case, don’t be a scared of something new. After all, you were trying your hardest to get your band noticed when it was new, then why not give us a shot?
It’s free, owned and maintained in the Rio Grande Valley and if you don’t like it, you can always delete your account. I promise not to shed a tear but I will miss you. However, I believe you will enjoy the experience and so will your friends, family and fans.
Sincerely,
Webmaster of RGVRockCity.com
For the next several hours, the site will be acting funny. There’s a bit of code that’s gone rogue so I have to round it up, and fix the fence.
Plugins will also be deactivated and selectively reactivated.
UPDATE: Plugins have been disabled site-wide indefinitely. It might be brought back as a premium feature. More to come.
We’ve added more themes to the collection. Feel free to check them out!
We’re experiencing bugs on BuddyPress and are working to resolve them.
I’m very pleased to announce that RGVROCKCITY.COM is now powered by WordPress MU and BuddyPress, an MU extention. There are some bugs that need to be ironed out however the site is completely functional for a seamless blogging experience. 
This is big news! We’re going to upgrade this Web site to better suite the needs of the local, state and national bloggers! More to come…

This morning I spent about an hour going over the robot generated content (or SPAM) on this Web site and deleted them manually. This has brought to my attention the fact that this site needs some anti-spam tools and so therefore, we uploaded some important plugins to better service our bloggers. Go to the plugins page to see what options we offer.

PS. This site will never (and any user generated content will be deleted) and I repeat, never offer male enhancement pills, or stuff like that.
