[23:16] <Angelica_G> Tim I have a quick question - do we have a site map on our portals?

[23:16] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i make money if you make money

[23:17] *** Quits: Dale_Cable (Connection reset by peer)

[23:17] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> angelica, no, but, it is very searchable by search engines, the link structure.  I did tests with site maps and did not see any improvement

[23:18] <Angelica_G> ok - but let me understand this - when the search engines crawl our sites - it picks ups only updated information right?

[23:18] *** Joins: Vegas_Jim (Vegas_Jim@KWirc)

[23:19] <Vegas_Jim> Reno Don your portal is looking good

[23:21] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> angelica, i have a website i built in 1998 that has 300 pages and has not been changed since 1998.  It has more traffic than any other website i have.  it has never been promoted, all traffic comes from search engines.

[23:21] <Jonathan_Myers> would that be the FreeStore site?

[23:22] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> no, i don't tell anyone what it is, so I know traffic only comes from search engines.

[23:22] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> its not the free store site, as I have promoted that one

[23:23] <Jonathan_Myers> I'll do some investigation and get back to you on that......

[23:23] <Angelica_G> ok Tim - thank you - I have to be patient but I also I want to make sure I am taking the right steps to improve the traffic on the sites

[23:23] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> to find which site it is?

[23:23] <Jonathan_Myers> yes

[23:24] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> angelica, nothing improves the traffic more than people placing ads on it. remember, every classified, every free listing, every premium listing, every calender event, every coupon has a static HTML page created with the titile of the page matching the content, all unique, and everyone pinged.

[23:24] <Jonathan_Myers> see if I am a good enough detective to figure it out

[23:25] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> you can't

[23:25] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> if you do i will be truly amazed

[23:25] <Jonathan_Myers> if I do, I will keep it private as you wish

[23:26] <Jonathan_Myers> never say never....lol

[23:26] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ha ha

[23:26] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i have several test sites out there

[23:26] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> there is a reason our hub has more traffic than 99.89% of all websites in the world

[23:26] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> what you all do, is very important

[23:29] <Angelica_G> Tim - I was talking to someone who sugested to have the site audited so that we can compete with the major advertisers - Since you share the news about digital advertising - I've been reading a lot on the subject - I think we well positioned  to capture a portion of that growth

[23:29] <Angelica_G> we are*

[23:30] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> angelica, audited by whom?

[23:30] <Angelica_G> an auditing bureau

[23:30] <Angelica_G> let me check the name

[23:31] <Vegas_Jim> Tim Las VEGas has dropped from 4.4 million to 2.6 on Alexa

[23:32] <Ed_Bremer> great Jim

[23:32] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> thats very good
