FAQ'S
Key Rats?  Key Rat Chat?  Link my site?  Use your pictures?   Pop ups?   e-mail?  It is all listed below:
Q.)  May I use one or more of your pictures for my own private or corporate use?

A.)  Yes but there is a catch.  The catch is that you MUST credit www.key-biscayne.com for the photograph.  
On the web...You must link to www.key-biscayne.com by either a text link that says something like "Photo courtesy of www.key-biscayne.com" or "Photograph thanks to www.key-biscayne.com" and have that text either ON the picture, UNDER the picture or BESIDE the picture.  In books, magazines, travel guides or newspapers,  Photographer - Eddie Dziura must also be visible near the photograph . That text may be vertical. 

If you are using the picture on a website we appreciate it if you also link  the picture itself  to www.key-biscayne.com and that is also acceptable AS A LINK . The text link is preferable.   If you link the picture, you still MUSTcredit the picture as mentioned above.

We take our copyright extremely seriously as several publishers and web sites have found out over the years and will not tolerate you stealing our material.  
We only asking that when you use one or more of our photographs on the web that you credit us and let us know by dropping us a line to webmaster@key-biscayne.com because we truly do enjoy seeing our work around the world. 
Here is an example of what a photograph on the web MUST have to be in compliance.

This is not too much to ask for a royalty free photograph!  If you fail to credit the photograph properly, it is understood that these photographs are not royalty free and are available for limited license usage for a fee with prices starting at $410 per picture.  Price vary on photographs, type of publication, size of photo to be used, circulation, size, scope of distribution, length of time as well as quantities of photographs used.  We do offer a substantial quantity discount.
We have a selection of Royalty free photographs for sale with prices starting at $89.

Infringing our copyright where we find out and you did not ask, the price doubles using comparable from GettyImages (a photo and film bank that sells and licenses pictures, film and images). Hint: Our prices are lower.
Do not take our images as we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law as allowed by the United States Copyright and International copyright laws permit.  DON'T DO IT!
If you continue to be a jerk about it, it only gets worse. Spare yourself the misery.  OK, that was all the bad news.
Now that you know that you may use our pictures for free, here is what they should look like.  If you have any questions, we will even help you use our photos for free.

Here is an example of a photograph linking (click the pic) where the text is not highlighted which is also acceptable on the web.

If you need any help or have any questions, we are happy to help you. Just ask.
 

Q.)  May I use your descriptive text  or photos in my web site or for my school report or for my travel magazine?
A.)  Yes.  Once again, our text is subject to all United States and International Copyright Laws and we have worked long and hard and spent countless dollars developing it.  It is not there for you to steal or use and pretend that you wrote it or that you own it.  We will defend our copyright to the fullest extent of the law.  If you use our text, you simply need to credit us with a link saying "Source: www.key-biscayne.com".  A link that says that.  A link.  Photograph usage terms are listed above.

Q.)  I just want to web publish your pictures and or material and don't feel like giving you credit.  You won't know.
A.)  Get an attorney. You may be surprised to know that codes can be dropped into a photograph that you will not see and cannot find but will identify the photograph as ours and  allows us to track where any of our photographs are published on the Internet anywhere in the world at any given time.  In fact, we would be able to identify whose computer you used, what browser or other method you used to extract the photograph,  at what time you did it and where you put it.  We will know.  Do not forget that nearly 100,000 people visit this site every day and they will tell us if they see our pictures in a Ukrainian poster. Just Don't do it. Thanks. It will save us both tons of aggravation and you money.  Just give us credit as described, pay for it, or go take your own picture.

Q.)  Can I get a link to my web site from www.key-biscayne.com?
A.)  Yes, and it is not free.  For information on our rates go to our advertising section here.

Q.)  Are your prices great?
A.)  Yes!

Q.)  Are your rates competitive?
A.)  No.  There are not competitive because there is nothing that compares with what it is that we do for each and every client. There are NO sites in the world that come close to the traffic and exposure that you get from us nor will they give you the personal attention to your site, nor will they be located right here on Key Biscayne.  
We have noticed that the amount of money that others want for nothing more than putting you on a site that is not getting any traffic any ways is ridiculous. The money you spend with us is the only money you should be spending on the Internet if you have a Key Biscayne related site and worth every penny of it.  We ourselves started with nothing but a 8 meg laptop and know what it is like to get business up and running with very little.  We help people get their sites to make them moneyWe know what works, and what is a waste of money.
We know that if you are not making money after coming on with us that you will not renew. That is not good for you or for us since we are in it for the long run.  We live here and work here.  We can help right away.
**Tip** If you are thinking about paying a company to "put you in the top ten", go to Google.com or Altavista.com and type in "Internet Marketing" in the search box.  If the company asking you for your money to put you in the top ten is not in the top ten themselves, they don't know what they are doing.

Q.) So are you saying that I should have a page on www.key-biscayne.com even though I have a website? Why? Why can't I just get my site ranked high myself using an Internet Marketing firm?
A.)  Yes, you should have a page on www.key-biscayne.com as well as your website.  The reasons for this are very simple.  Your site is NOT designed to be found on search engines! (We tell the truth here) It is designed to get your money fast and look pretty. 99.9% of web designers ARE NOT Internet Marketing people.  This means that your site is most likely designed to look good but without any attention given to whether or not anyone in the world will find it.  They will tell you that all you need is 'keywords' and 'meta-tags and then do a fine job of not knowing how to write a code that will do the job of getting you "found" on search engines.  The only way you will find out is after you paid them  and not get any business.  We have helped countless people with this same story who have spent thousands of dollars and are at wits end.  We do it right.  Just check the search engines for yourself and see if www.key-biscayne.com is in the top ten for anything related to Key Biscayne.  Then find the person that you are thinking of giving your money to.  If they are paying to be in the 'paid' section of the search engines, you better hold on to your wallet and get away fast.  We will be here tomorrow.  We have been here for over 42 years and in the business before most knew what the Internet is.  We are full time professionals who are also your neighbors.

Q.)  Will you build a web site and host it for me?
A.)  No.  We do not build web sites for hire and do not resell hosting.

Q.)  Can I get more than a link to my web site that is getting no business at all?  Like a page or two?
A.)  Yes.  Many businesses come to us to build pages for them that will be in the top ten on the search engines so that they make money off of their web sites instead of having something like an electronic business card that nobody ever visits.

Q.)  Is it true that www.key-biscayne.com was the first Key Biscayne related web site ever in the history of mankind?
A.)  Yes.

Q.)  Wow!  So you were around long before the dot com craze so probably cashed in big time right?
A.)  Yes.

Q.)  Why didn't you get local businesses on www.key-biscayne.com back then so that they could all be doing great right now instead of being fractured little segments scattered in nowhere land?

A.) Nobody believed in the Internet then. People scoffed at the idea. BUT>>>It is not too late for you!.  It is just more crowded and makes our product that much more valuable. 
Everyone thought the Internet was a craze like the 'Pet Rock' and most Key Biscayne business owners have been lied to so often about advertising schemes that when we approached them and told them what a great thing that we were on to, they said "Thanks but no thanks" and "Is your web on AOL?". 
Only a few had heard of the Internet and the few that did thought that AOL was the entire Internet universe.  There was nothing outside of AOL in people's minds which explains the historical marketing job that AOL did AND explains why there are still people TO THIS DAY that actually pay for hours of browsing the Internet.  It is mind numbing to those of us who know why ANY business would not invest in a web presence starting today.  
Why people "pay per click" is hilarious.  Someone is laughing... It is NOT the client.

Q.)  Is this the web site that has the "World Famous Key Rat Chat" on it?
A.)  Yes it is.

Q.)  Well, how do I get there?
A.)  Click on the blue underlined letters right after this word...Key Rat Chat

Q.)  Is it free?
A.)  Yes.

Q.)  Am I a Key Rat?
A.)  No.

Q.)  If it is free, do you have 'pop up' advertising or collect email and spam me with junk mail?
A.)  No.

Q.)  Then why do you pay money and put hours of time into Key Rat Chat if you are not making any money with it?
A.)  We feel like it.

Q.)  I noticed a Key Rat Email Directory.   How do I get my name on there if you don't collect email addresses for resale?
A.)  You have to send an email to webmaster@key-biscayne.com requesting to be included.  No email, no inclusion.

Q.)  Is www.key-biscayne.com the sponsor for the Key Rat Reunion of 2001 and the Key Rat Retreat 2005?
A.)  Yes and we are thinking of calling the 2005 event the Re-Rat or Ratapalooza.

Q.)  Do you have cool www.key-biscayne.com T-shirts, stickers, and stuff like that?
A.)  Yes, we are currently working on that.

Q.)  What do I do if I have a question that is not here but I really want to know what the answer is?
A.)  Send an email to: webmaster@key-biscayne.com or call 305-361-6016

Q.)  Do you collect old Key Biscayne memorabilia?
A.)  Yes, and we are interested in expanding our collection of old postcards, news articles, hotel or restaurant menus, glasses, plates, matches, anything touristy or collectable.

Q.)  Can the webmaster go fishing on my boat or can I buy gas and go fishing with the webmaster during the week when there are only a few boats out there?
A.)  Yes.  The webmaster is also available for fishing or camping trips to the Keys, The Bahamas, or any other great places.

Q.)  Is there a place where you record interesting links from around the World Wide Web so that others can find great sites?
A.)  Yes, if you click the blue underlined letters here, you will be transported to that area. All links are rated G!

Q.)  Will you consider (even if I offer you mounds of cash and a cut of the action)  working with pictures and/or content of questionable morality?
A.)  No

Q.)  Did someone actually ask these questions to you, or are you just making them up?
A.)  These are actual questions that we get asked on a regular basis and that is the purpose of this FAQ section.
