From The Editor...

Trick or Treat Everyone!  We're just days away from Oct 31 when all the little ones come out to scare the world with their costumes.  This is a special Halloween Issue for everyone.  I've come up with a special contest for you which I think we'll all enjoy the results from, our winners from previous Person of the Week, and some good discussion forums to visit.  Hope you enjoy this issue.

Happy Halloween!  Community Ghost Story Contest Alert!

This is the week where ghouls, ghosts, spooks, specters, zombies, and all manner of creatures of the night come out to celebrate one of western civilizations most noted special occasions.  If you're like me, you went out and spent a few of your hard earned dollars on a costume for "All Hallows Eve".  If you're even craftier still, you went out and bought the raw materials and made your own one-of-a-kind costume. 

To stay in the spirit of the holiday, I decided to do something fun for this issue.  Here's how it works:

Send me your scariest ghost story.  It can be true or fiction.  Did you see a ghost as a child? Do you have video or pictures of a haze that appears to be an apparition?  Send them in.  The winning story and writer's profile will be published in the next issue of the Community Newsletter and the writer gets 500 ad displays on Adlandpro.com for FREE.  Here's the link to the Ghost Story Discussion in Community Campfire:

Birthday "Thank You"s to All My Friends

A couple of weeks ago I turned 31 on Saturday, Oct 15 (Yes, I'm a libra).  I received so many birthday wishes from my friends list here at Adlandpro I just wasn't able to respond to them all in a timely fashion so I would like to take this opportunity here to thank all of you who sent me a Birthday wish on my day.  It makes me feel good to know that people care enough to take a few minutes out of their day to send their greeting.  Once again, the community shows why it is one of the best communities on the internet. 

I apologize if I did not send you a personal reply to your birthday wish but I assure you I read them all eventually when I had a moment free and I do appreciate each and every single person that sent me a wish.

Testimonial
I just read your newsletter and thought I would offer my 2 cents.

I am pretty new to Internet marketing and forums. But I have to say that I am impressed with adlandpro. When I first joined I thought it was going to be just another marketing tool, similar to safelist. Fortunately I was wrong. I have found your community to be full of real people and real information, which I desperately needed.

Anyway I just wanted to say thank you for your great program and all your hard work.

Sincerely,
Gina Barnett

Alexa
By Edward Pizzo, Adlandpro Community Advisor


I wanted to start this article with some useful information to get everyone started with. Some of you may already know about this website some of you may not know.

Although I have not posted a review about them as of yet on my website I wanted to give everyone some positive information that is helpful for everyone.

Without receiving any input either way in which direction to start moving in on this forum. I thought it may be wise to get everyone familiar with the tools needed by everyone who wants to make a living with there online marketing careers.

Alexa is the standard of how traffic is measured and recognized globally around the world today about how much and the type of traffic you receive. They have many tools on their website that would take me a month to teach but I am only going to touch on a few of the relevant key tools needed to get you aware and started. As time progresses forward we will have a great understanding to why we make money and why we don't.

To begin with you sign on to
www.alexa.com.  Under their name you will see 3 categories Web Search, Traffic Rankings, Website Directory. Tonight we will concentrate on the Traffic Directory go ahead and input www.adlandpro.com to the search box and click get traffic details. Everything you could ever want to know about this website that makes a difference is listed here.

In the overview it give you the traffic details the related links and all the sites linking in which is the most relevant and most important part to higher search engine listings which in turn brings you traffic.

As you can see from their Traffic detail Adlandpro reaches about 2,340,000 million people. This is a huge accomplishment for any website. Alexa's site keeps a weekly track of the stats on all the top 100,000 sites in the world and also monitors every website that is currently listed in the major search engines with a percentage gain or loss filter which tracks the smaller websites on a 3 to 7 day basis.

Why do I need to know this?

Testimonials
Thank you Michael, Bogdan, and the AdlandPro staff.
You are all making AdlandPro a truly great online community,
and I really like being here. Thank you all, for your hard work
and dedication to AdlandPro, because you are the people that
are making this all possible.

Have a great weekend all of you.

respectfully,

Michael Rogers

Learning how to monitor your own website and how it compares to your competitors will give you a huge advantage in making money.

Click on the related links tab and find out who is linking to Adlandpro then see who is linked to you. I may be comparing apples and oranges at this point but I need to prove a point, who is my competitor and who links back to them and who is linking back to me. I may need to get involved with these very same companies as well.

Let’s go back to the overview.  Have you ever wondered who actually owns these sites and how to get in touch with them?  Let’s scroll down the page a little.

You will now see who is the owner of any domain site, how long they have been online the speed of their average load times and links to their site.

To show you the importance of this website there is a link on the left hand side of the Alexa page half way down that allows you to see what a company has progressed from to what they are now, way back in time Adland use to look much different then it does today go and find out how your favorite community has evolved over time to what it has become today.

Why is this important to me?  You just may want to know, how an average person like you or me, may have developed such a tremendous site as Adlandpro and how it has become a focal point to millions of viewers today and how they made changes over time as there demands changed. I can actually watch how my very own site progresses over time as well.

I base much of my success on research and statistics and to me analyzing companies that are successful and finding ways to emulate and incorporate certain data that I find useful saves me a tremendous amount of time and money.

I hope you find this information useful, everyone needs to know how to use certain websites and how to utilize the tools that are out there for free.
