From The Editor...

Hello!  Since this was the week in which valentines day was in, I found myself thinking about this for some odd reason.  I find it rather funny that in my country, we use the exact same word for "expensive" as we do for the word "love".  My brain sometimes works in random ways.  How do you turn this thing off? 

In other news, I'm pretty stoked about what's coming up in the next month or so and I think you'll be too once you find out.  Read what's in the newsletter to find out what that is!

Live long and profit,

Michael Dela Cruz,

1.0  Community Central

Photos Versus Non-Photos

Bogdan and I have been closely monitoring some of the new features that were implemented in Adlandpro Community for you.  Namely, the new users report.  Upon closer inspection, we  discovered something rather interesting. 

We compared several Community profiles created between February 14th and February 17 and noticed that the number of friends for community members who uploaded a personal photograph were significantly higher than those without photographs on the Community.  Members who had photographs seemed to double the rate at which non-photograph members were receiving friend invitations. 

Additionally, members seemed to have more community friends with photographs than without.  This is interesting because a good 2/3rds of the community does not have pictures loaded into their profiles.  It almost seems as if people flock to those members who have them as opposed to those who don't. 

After a short discussion, we came to the conclusion that  members with photographs likely gained a small trust advantage in a first impression over those who didn't have photographs.  I suppose that makes sense otherwise blind dates would be more popular.  :) 

Bottom Line?  Having a photograph in your profile works to your advantage in the Adlandpro Community because networking is difficult enough already.  Placing a photograph in your profile basically says to the community, "Here I am for you to see" and in the back of a person's mind this perhaps becomes the foundation on which a trusting business and/or personal relationship can be built.  You know what they say, "Seeing is believing"

Feature Profile With Video

Bogdan was sent an email recently with a very innovative and interesting twist for an introduction and he liked it so much he asked me to include this in this issue of the newsletter.  Justin had created a video link which is a Welcome Message to new members of Adlandpro.  This is just AWESOME Justin and thanks so much for doing that!  Take a minute to click the link below the profile and check out this nifty little presentation.

Testimonial
Thank you Michael.
I have been using Adland Pro for over 3 years and would recommend it to anyone whether I made any money or not. It is and always has been a very valuable and rewarding service.

You can feel free to use this as a testimony for Adland if you want.  I'm very thankful to have this great program.

Sincerely,
Rebecca Beasley

1.1  New Community Features

Chat Anyone?


Adlandpro Getting Ready To Launch Chat room :)

Many people are familiar with the terms "LOL" and "BRB" which in the internet chat world are acronyms for "Laughing Out Loud" and "Be Right Back" respectively.  Well, get your typing fingers ready and start practicing your smiley icons :) my fellow community members.  We will soon be communicating with each other in real-time and in groups over the internet on Adlandpro.  You guessed it.  Chatting. 

It's been something that has been in the back our President Bogdan's mind for quite some time now and in a few short weeks, it's all going to be a reality.  For anyone who's spent anywhere from 6 months to a year or more online, I'm sure that you've engaged in some form of Internet Chat or another.  If you haven't yet, you're in for a rather pleasant, if not potentially addictive surprise.  Just remember to disconnect from time to time. 

I'm pretty excited about the whole thing and seeing it nearly finished gives me Goosebumps. Yes, admittedly I have left behind many chat legacies including (but not limited to) Yahoo Chat, MSN Chat, Mplayer Voice Chat, Lycos Chat when it was still around, Paltalk, ICQ, Trillian, and now Adlandpro Chat which I'm convinced is going to be awesome!  Stay posted folks because when we launch, I'll be in the room first.  LOL!

Instant Messenger Application In Development

Before the end of 2005, one of AdlandPro's larger goals is to launch its own Instant Messenger type application exclusively for our Community Members.  Though it is still in a flowchart stage, with a feature wish list of integrated voice and video chat and premium optional features, this application promises to be huge in scope and may very well rival current Instant Real Time Messenger Heavyweights such as MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and Paltalk Messenger.  I'm pretty fired up about it.  I think you will be too!
 

New Community Features Added

The Adlandpro Programming Department has been working with one less programmer for the last week so the new feature list is a bit small this time around.  Speaking of which, congratulations go out to our Programmer Artur who recently had a bouncing baby boy and many thanks to the programmer Chad who had to take over many of his duties.  Excellent work!

  • Most Active Members - A new report has been added to the Reports section called "Most Active Members".  This report displays in order of most to least, the number of posts a member has made.  Not surprisingly, Tony Beach is at the top.  Haha!  Way to go Tony!  Click here to check out the Most Active Users Report

Friends Invitations

The Adlandpro community is based on creating networks of contacts who can help you learn, you can promote to, and socialize with. The Friends feature was added to make this so much easier to do in a Community that has thousands of registered members. In order to get friends, become someone's friend, or invite someone to be a part of our Community, you must use the invitation system. Adlandpro has 2 types of invitations: A Community Invitation and an Email Invitation. 

Community Invitation

Sending an invitation to become friends on the Community means that, if this person approves your invitation, you will be on this person's friends list and they will be on yours. This also means that you can locate this person easier and send a message to this person on the community by going to your friends list and clicking the icon below their profile.

Here are the different places you can see profiles to add as friends:

  • Clicking profile links in the "Who Is Online" section on the left sidebar of any Community Page

  • Clicking profile links in forum posts
  • Clicking profile links in Adlandpro Newsletters and Publications
  • Searching for profiles using the People Find link on the Community (Instructions Below)
  • Virtually anywhere you see a profile link, you will find the link to Become Friends.

Email Invitation

Sending a Email Invitation allows you to invite people to become part of the Adlandpro Community and become your friends who are not already registered as members. These can be friends, co-workers, colleagues, associates...just about anybody who has an email address!
 

Send invitation by e-mail now.

*Don't forget, if you invite someone to the community who is not already a registered member, you will get 100 free Ad Displays for your ads!*

Hi
I just wanted to take a few seconds out of my busy life to let you know how much I appreciate AdlandPro. Your services are, by far, the best on the net. Your site is the only place where I can post my ads and actually find them in a search of my keywords!
