From The Editor...

Good afternoon from the not-so-sunny Province of Manitoba and Happy Friday the 13th weekend!

This issue brings some more ideas I'd like your input on so hopefully I can score some feedback from you guys about these new and exciting things I want to do.  I really want to get as many people involved in this newsletter as possible because it is more for you guys more so than it is for me. 

With that being said, let's get on with the festivities shall we?  CAQ is going well although not as much of a response as I had hoped for this week, there were still several good entries.  This is getting harder and harder each week to judge.  I'm thinking of getting you guys to vote for it soon.  Maybe setting up a page for your entries and a votiing system of some sort.

User Article Submission or Member Sound-Off?  Let's Get Involved!

I was driving to work this morning thinking about content for the next community newsletter and realized something.  First, let me put it to you this way:  Have you ever been in the company of someone who could only yammer on about him/her self?  Someone who could only speak of the wonderful things going on in their lives and the things they're going to do and changes they're going to make?  How boring is THAT?!?!?

I decided today that the community newsletter would not be that boring person but instead make more room for the people who this community newsletter is really for; You guys!  I want to feature and respond to your letters.  I want to open public lines of communication and I want you to feel like this newsletter belongs to you...because it does.  If my writing stinks, TELL me it stinks!  If you have a comment, concern, compliment, let's get it out in the open!

So, I am throwing out some options for this type of content.  Some of you folks out in Adland are pretty good writers so write an article, a success story, beefs and bouquets, some tips that might help someone and send it to me.  I'll find a place to put it up provided it's well-written and serves a positive or helpful purpose.  No Ads Please. 

Also, let's get some discussions going.  Sort of like a Member's Sound-Off area where members can post their opinions, rants, raves, kudos, whatever.  Say it, I'll play it.  I may have to [CENSOR] some things if your post is a little too "colorful" but I'll try to get it on here provided it has a good reason to be. 

Finally, I love debates and heated discussions.  I love watching or listening to passionate people discuss hot topics so how would you guys like a debate section?  Maybe I'll fire out a statement or scenario and you give me your opinions.  Maybe have one of our members present a heated topic and we'll burn up the discussion boards.  Challenge me.  Challenge each other. 

I'm excited.  Are you?

Testimonial
I would just like to say that at one point in building my new website I was at a stopping point and didn't know where to turn. Spent months searching. All of a sudden I started making friends in the community and met people who have shown me a light at the end of the tunnel and have been very instrumental in my progress thus far and I know they will be there for me down the road as well.

Adlandpro is people helping people. 'Nuff said.

How To Get Your BLOGS "Site Feed" Listed In Yahoo! and MSN
Within HOURS, Is Easier Then You Think

BLOGS... they seem to be the talk of the Internet marketing world these days, and for good reason.

Not only do the Search Engines love them for their Content Rich pages, you also have the ability to plug your Blogs "Site Feed" into an RSS feed and then have it syndicated to
thousands of websites and directories giving your content more exposure to your target audience.

RSS(Real Simple Syndication) is a very Powerful technology that has been around for quite some time and when used correctly, can build an audience overnight.

If you want a crash course on what RSS is, in more depth, since the nature of this article is to show you how to get your Blogs "Site Feed" listed in Yahoo! and MSN, I've
provided a link to a page full of articles on RSS related issues. http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-articles.htm

Now, depending on where your Blog is hosted, whether its through a free service like Blogger.com -- http://www.blogger.com or hosted on your websites server, you should have a "Site Feed URL" that has the .XML extension.

This is your "Site Feed URL".  You'll usually locate it within your Settings area of Blog
control center.  Here's what mine looks like as an example:

http://theiwe.blogspot.com/atom.xml

This URL is intended for a RSS News Reader, so disregard its appearance.

Once you find your "Site Feed URL", copy and paste it into Notepad because you'll need it for the next steps coming ahead.

Now, what you need to do is go and set-up an My Yahoo! and My MSN account.  I've provided the links for you below:

- My Yahoo! ==> http://my.yahoo.com

- My MSN ==> http://msn.com

It should only take you about 15-20 minutes at the most.  If you already have accounts with My Yahoo! and My MSN, read on.

This is assuming you already have your accounts set-up, so your next step is to Login to your My Yahoo! account. 

When you login, you'll be taken to your Yahoo! page immediately.  What you want to do next is go look under the Yahoo! search box to the left and click on the "Add Content" link.

This will bring you to a new page.  From there, over to the right by the "Find" button you'll see an "Add RSS by URL" link, click on it.  A new window will open with a "Web Form". Simply copy and paste your "Site Feed URL" from Notepad into the web form
and click on the "Add" button.

Now, you should see your Blogs name infront of you. Simply click on the yellow "Add To My Yahoo!" button and your feed will be added.

The next thing you should see is your "Site Feed" with your "Headlines".

Click on one of them, it should take you to your Blog, to the desired Headline you chose.

Your My Yahoo! page should Now have your Blogs "Site Feed" Headlines listed at the bottom.

Scroll down to check. If you don't see them, it sometimes takes up to 24-48 hours for them to appear, so just check back later.

Now that thats done, everytime you update your Blog with NEW content, it'll "Automatically" update on your My Yahoo! page and everybody else's pages who have subscribe to your
feed, plus, within 24-48 hours your feed will get Spidered and Indexed by Yahoo!.

Talk about getting the word out in a HURRY with very little effort on your part.

This is "Viral Marketing" at its Best in my mind.  And... it's so simple to implement.

Okay.

Now it's time to do the same to your My MSN account as what you did above to your My Yahoo! page.  Here's the link to go login

(click on Sign In from main page): http://www.msn.com

Once your login to your My MSN account you should see an "Add Content" link under the MSN logo to your left. Click on it.  A pop-up should now be displaying. Simply copy and paste
your "Site Feed URL" from your Notepad into the web form provided and click the Search button (the green button with the arrow).

You should now be looking at Check Box with your Blogs name beside it. Check off your "Site Feed URL" and then press the OK button at the bottom.

PRESTO! Like magic... your Blogs site feed has now been added to your My MSN page which will then be spidered in the next 24-48 hours and Indexed by MSN.

That's the Power of BLOGS(Web-Logs) and RSS(Really Simple Syndication)combined with two Internet giants.  The only thing you have to bring to the table IS, fresh, quality content that your audience WANTS, and do it on a regular basis.

I post my articles that I write on a weekly basis, making my Blog called... The Internet Wonders Blog - http://theiwe.blogspot.com - a search engine Magnet!

You can do the same because I just showed you HOW.

In conclusion, creating BLOGS and using RSS as a vehicle to syndicate your Blogs content is a Sure-Fire way to get your content spidered more frequently by search engines and the
exposure it deserves, which in turn, will build you a large audience of buying customers that TRUST you.

Do you have a forum you think should be featured here? [ Let us know! ]


1.  Why Do I Feel So Lousy?

Thomas West is at it again with yet another unique discussion.  With threads like What are your two main health concerns? and Health is a state of mind, it's easy to see why Thomas' forums gather such a response.  If you haven't been, definitely go now. 


2.  BEST of the BEST - COLLECTION

Hans Nielsen has provided for us a thread in which you can truly showcase your opportunities.  This thread has collected a total of 54 posts so there's bound to be some information here for everyone.  Might want to have a peek. 
 


3.  Personal Development Tips

I love reading up on those personal development forums whenever I can.  I've seen a few but not nearly as many as can be had on our forums.  Matthew Brown has done a remarkable job of his Personal Development forum and most definitely something you want to check out.   It deals quite a bit with Financial Wellness and some Pre-Paid Legal topics but hey, we're all businesspeople after all right?  Go have a look.  You won't be sorry.
