[22:48] <Jonathan_Myers> Tim, do you need to remove the "Bayville,NJ" references from the template, or is that something I can do? I haven't found anywhere that I could edit that info.

[22:48] <Cassey> I did there is a Mabry that has that area

[22:49] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Cassey, actually, he is not now, it is open

[22:49] <Cassey> Really?!

[22:49] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> yes

[22:50] <Cassey> I have not gather my $197, as of yet, but I really find that I am ready to do something like this

[22:50] *** Joins: KWirc_376 (KWirc_376@KWirc)

[22:50] <Cassey> I love being on line, and I have an online business already

[22:50] <Cassey> I fact I have 2!

[22:51] <Jonathan_Myers> successful ones?

[22:51] <Cassey> Sorry about using your info

[22:51] <Alan_Currie> Cassey ,the potential income for these portals is staggering. If you can work for yourself you can do very well.

[22:51] <Cassey> They'll be as successful as I make them

[22:51] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> cassey, i am sorry, i am wrong, walter did renew that

[22:51] <Alan_Currie> EXACTLY

[22:52] <Cassey> Okay, so I did not see any businesses listed

[22:52] <Cassey> How do I get my there, kept saying error

[22:52] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> yes, some portal directors are not very active, but I encourage all to make sales,

[22:52] <Alan_Currie> Tim, is there anything close for her to cover.

[22:53] <Alan_Currie> Of course we shouldn't need to be encouraged should we Tim.

[22:53] <Jonathan_Myers> Cassey, what area is your second choice?

[22:53] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> alan, everyone needs some encouragement

[22:54] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> let me check the map

[22:54] *** Joins: Ed_Bremer (Ed_Bremer@KWirc)

[22:54] <Cassey> I would see if Lockport is covered

[22:54] <Alan_Currie> I should know that.

[22:54] <Jonathan_Myers> Hello Ed

[22:54] <Ed_Bremer> hello

[22:54] <Dale_Cable> hi ed

[22:54] <Alan_Currie> No one listed for Lockport

[22:55] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Cassey, how about lockport, crest hill, new lenox, rockdale, michigan beach, shorewood,

[22:55] <Cassey> Lockport doesn't seem to be a choice,

[22:56] <Jonathan_Myers> Tim, all areas of ID on my site still say "Bayville, NJ", is that something I need to edit?

[22:56] <Cassey> To have 2 areas you have to pay twice as much Tim?

[22:57] <Jonathan_Myers> Only the header graphic mentions Middletown, OH

[22:58] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Jonathan, i do not understand what you mean

[22:58] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> oh

[22:58] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> hm

[22:58] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> let me check

[22:58] <Alan_Currie> To your question Cassey, Yes, I have 2 portals.

[22:58] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, i don't see bayville on your portal

[22:59] <Jonathan_Myers> the browser title bar, the copyright notice, etc...

[22:59] <Jonathan_Myers> classifireds also

[22:59] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Cassey, you can't have the second portal until you are getting a sale or 2 a week on the first one, and then the second does not cost any more, because you would be above a quota of 4 per month

[22:59] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, you are right

[23:00] <Jonathan_Myers> great, thought I was hallucinating.....lol...!!

[23:00] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> jonathan, halle made a mistake, I will have it fixed in the morning first thing when she comes in

[23:00] <Jonathan_Myers> ok, great, thanx

[23:00] <Cassey> Okay great, I am glad to meet all of you and I will really be looking into this as long as my financial advisor is aware first

[23:01] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> take your time Cassey

[23:01] <Alan_Currie> Tim, I have a question, pause It will be out in a minute

[23:01] <Jonathan_Myers> I looked all day for a proper place to edit that, of course with no luck.....

[23:01] <Cassey> Thanks for the information, and I will be with you at a later date after following up with him

[23:01] *** Quits: Dale_Cable (Connection reset by peer)

[23:02] <Cassey> Great to meet you all, good will come of this....Best of all to each of you...Good night

[23:02] <Alan_Currie> Tim, I went into Alexa thru the portal just to see some statistics and it says in there ther are only 85 links into yourhomrtownportal.

[23:02] *** Joins: Dale_Cable (Dale_Cable@KWirc)

[23:02] *** Quits: Cassey (KWirc Java IRC Client owned by P.E.E.L. Inc, created by JM Guerra García a.k.a. KennyWood)

[23:02] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> hi dale

[23:02] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> alan, of course that cannot be correct, there are 1000 just from our own network

[23:03] <Alan_Currie>  With the # of portals shouldn't there be more of the incoming links.

[23:04] <Dale_Cable> tim can you put a vistor counter on a PBC?

[23:04] <Alan_Currie> Also it now says the rating is 98,000 plus not 18,000 plus. I think you should change the statement on ranking to reflct the new ranking system stats. perhaps

[23:05] <Ed_Bremer> Tim -could we use Blogtalk to do a dailey Swap Shop radio sales show--garage sale theme?people call in live

[23:07] <Ed_Bremer> buy or sell

[23:08] <Jonathan_Myers> PBC=?

[23:10] <Dale_Cable> business classifieds jonathan

[23:10] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> dale, you can put a counter on a PBC, i would recommend statcounter.com

[23:10] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> alan, the 98,000 is world wide, the USA is further down

[23:10] <Angelica_Gwinn> brb

[23:11] <Jonathan_Myers> I installed statcounter on my frontpage today

[23:11] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> Ed, you certainy could do a swap show with blogtalkradio.com

[23:11] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> thats a good idea

[23:11] <Alan_Currie> OK sorry

[23:11] <Ed_Bremer> Blogswap-lol

[23:12] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> alan, the worldwide was 138,000 a few weeks ago, its improved to 98,000, but it has been as low as 50,000 before.  you have to consider there will be some fluctuations with so many thousands of new websites being created every day

[23:12] <Alan_Currie> I understand, will look deeper next time

[23:14] <Alan_Currie> Well, I better pack it in for the night after midnight again.

[23:14] <TIm_Drobnick_Sr> currently we are 35,859 for the UsA
