[22:07] <Angelica_G> hi Ed
[22:08] <T-Rex> With certain clients that I have built up a relationship with good
[22:08] <T-Rex> others not so good
[22:10] <Angelica_G> what are the challenges your are facing with them? how do they measure the performace of their ad? their perception?
[22:11] <T-Rex> there are so many directories all offering different things, its really their perception
[22:12] <T-Rex> of what happening

[22:12] <T-Rex> Yes Tim
[22:13] <T-Rex> it was not quite complete when I last looked
[22:13] <Angelica_G> do you look at what the others are doing and how does our system compares in that area of the world?
[22:13] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> no, but usable
[22:13] *** Joins: Tom_Nestor (Tom_Nestor@KWirc)
[22:13] <T-Rex> I believe we offer the most
[22:14] <Ed_Bremer> hi Tom
[22:14] <Tom_Nestor> Hi Everyone
[22:14] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i am working on redos on the front page
[22:14] <Angelica_G> that's great to hear T-Rex - I really had no doubt
[22:14] <T-Rex> Hi Tom
[22:14] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i hve it so the tabs won't mess up on firefox
[22:14] <Angelica_G> Can you please ad something Tim
[22:14] <Angelica_G> add*
[22:14] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> and i am taking out the tv
[22:15] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> those tabs under tv, travel, hotel, you can do what you want with the entire space
[22:15] <T-Rex> Great Tim
[22:15] <Angelica_G> you see how you showcase the premium listings - can you put a bottom to showcase the premium classifieds - something like FEATURED CLASSIFIEDS
[22:15] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i will put text files up so you can edit them as you please
[22:15] <Angelica_G> GREAT
[22:15] <John_Gosselin> Tim, could you put "BLOG" and "Tour" instead of World and Aurthors in the top menu?
[22:16] <Angelica_G> oh Tim
[22:16] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> premium coupons come up on the front page
[22:16] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> or classifieds
[22:16] <Angelica_G> could you disable the newsletter feature until it works?
[22:17] <Angelica_G> I did a test sign up and I did not get an email
[22:17] <Angelica_G> just for credibility purposes
[22:17] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ok
[22:17] <Angelica_G> thank you
[22:17] <John_Gosselin> Actually, if possible, could you send us the e-Mail address of those that want to sign up and we can keep track of them or use a list manager of our own on that Newsletter signup?
[22:18] <Angelica_G> that's a good alternative
[22:18] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> hm
[22:19] <John_Gosselin> At least we could be collecting them - because some might be residence versus business owners - I'd send a newsletter if I had the e-Mails
[22:19] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> right
[22:19] <John_Gosselin> And, if possible have a radio button or check box if Resident or Business Owner
[22:20] <John_Gosselin> And maybe first name?
[22:20] <Angelica_G> if we could collect the emails then the button would be working - am I understanding this correctly?
[22:20] <John_Gosselin> yes
[22:20] <Angelica_G> well what I was suggesting is to disable it till it works :)
[22:21] *** Joins: Mickey_Mixon (Mickey_Mixon@KWirc)
[22:21] <Ed_Bremer> hi Mickey
[22:21] <John_Gosselin> Tim is fast - no need to disable it - right Tim ? Two minute redirect to our admin account... :))
[22:22] <Mickey_Mixon> Hi
[22:22] <John_Gosselin> Hi Mickey
[22:22] <Angelica_G> that is assuming that Tim is getting the emails
[22:22] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> hi mickey
[22:22] <Mickey_Mixon> Everyone doing okay tonight I hope.
[22:23] <T-Rex> Hi Mickey
[22:23] <John_Gosselin> Tim, could you put "BLOG" and "Tour" instead of World and Aurthors in the top menu?
[22:23] <Ed_Bremer> terribly fine Mickey
[22:24] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> john g, i am thinking about it
[22:24] <John_Gosselin> TY
[22:24] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> naomi and kelly made $1200 last week
[22:24] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> and they have to keep leaving town to take care of naomi's mother who is ill
[22:24] <John_Gosselin> There is a World button just over make us your home page - so no real need to be in menu and Authors isn't working - Tour and Blog are more active
[22:24] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> so that is around all that
[22:25] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> john g, i am thinking about it
[22:25] <Angelica_G> Tim - I don't know what it entails but, is there a possibility for us to choose which email we use for the automatic created emails when listings are enterd?
[22:25] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> angelica, if you go edit your personal info under button#2 on profit control panel that is the email it puts into the letter
[22:26] <Angelica_G> I tried that before and it did not work - let me test it again - I'll let you know
[22:27] *** Joins: Danielle_Danko (Danielle_Danko@KWirc)
[22:27] <T-Rex> Hi Danielle
[22:27] <Danielle_Danko> Hello Everyone
[22:27] <John_Gosselin> That seems to be the e-Mail used in the signature of the letter, but I don't believe it changes the reply address or the sender's address as it gets sent from our Portal e-Mail account
[22:28] <John_Gosselin> Hi Danielle
[22:28] <Danielle_Danko> hey john
[22:28] <Danielle_Danko> i was hoping not the see the word email tonight :)
[22:28] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> it does not change the sender email. the email has to be on the same server so it is not relaying
[22:29] <Danielle_Danko> good evening Tim, Ed, Mickey
[22:29] <John_Gosselin> The difficulty we are finding Tim is that the Portal Server IPs are on the SPAM lists - any way you could re-IP them someday?
[22:30] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> if you do not have an account at the new portal director support systems, go to http://portaldirectorsupport.com/private/register.php and create one, and then I need to upgrade you to active
[22:30] <John_Gosselin> Or, use VIPs
[22:30] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> john g, i just did remembe? we moved all the portals to new servers
[22:30] *** Joins: Marvin_Davis (Marvin_Davis@KWirc)
[22:30] <Danielle_Danko> r we talking about the fit I had last night?
[22:30] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> hi danielle, marvin
[22:30] <John_Gosselin> Then the domain's must be what's listed in the SPAM lists
[22:30] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle, no, what fit did you have
[22:31] <Danielle_Danko> about my email
[22:31] <John_Gosselin> Comcast and Yahoo are not accepting our e-Mails
[22:31] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> john g, i chagned the nameservers also
[22:31] <Danielle_Danko> I was alittle frustrated :)
[22:31] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle, yes i see your note in support, i am working on it, but as i said, comcast blocks almost anyone that has nything to do with any kind of marketing
[22:31] <John_Gosselin> lol - I did not mention that Danielle
[22:31] <Danielle_Danko> I still didnt get any of the ones I sent to myself
[22:31] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> comcast is almost impossible to work with
[22:32] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> they were just sued for restricting services
[22:32] <John_Gosselin> And we are almost 100% comcast in this area
[22:32] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> the lawsuit may loosen them up, but i doubt it. they have been that way as long as i can remember
[22:32] <Danielle_Danko> is there a way to get the letter generated over to another email that i can send from?
[22:33] *** Quits: Marvin_Davis (PING timeout)
[22:33] <Danielle_Danko> they have to monopolize (sp) everything
[22:33] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> as a matter of faact, at the seminar I did on bulk email, that was one of the common questions from everyone in the crowd, "how to get thru to comcast"
[22:33] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle, they filter on key words, which will be blocked
[22:33] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> as well as other things
[22:34] <Danielle_Danko> maybe then I will just have to copy and paste the letter I generate to the admin email to my own comcast email and send them that way
[22:34] <Danielle_Danko> i hate 2 double step though
[22:35] <Danielle_Danko> oh, like in the letter itself?
[22:35] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> yes
[22:35] <Danielle_Danko> sh*t
[22:35] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> comcast will block you sending it from your own account on comcast also
[22:35] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> as i said, they were sued finally this last week when they started restricting file sending
[22:36] <John_Gosselin> I can send the same e-Mail via my domains and they work fine - so copy and past or send the e-Mail to your comcast account and then forward, just remember to remove the FW: in the subject and forwarding info in the body
[22:36] <Danielle_Danko> what do i do? besides wait
[22:36] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> tell everyone in town to get gmail
[22:36] <John_Gosselin> lol
[22:36] <Danielle_Danko> i dont even know what gmail is...
[22:36] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> you can try it as john g is doing,
[22:37] <Danielle_Danko> i will marvin on that on
[22:37] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> google.com
[22:37] <Danielle_Danko> oh
[22:37] <Tom_Nestor> Tim, in our admin area ther is a page to edit "Premium Listing Order Information Form" is this to change our "Free Listing Page"?
[22:37] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> they have free email
[22:37] <Danielle_Danko> lol
[22:37] <Danielle_Danko> so i can copy and paste to them and send?
[22:37] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> tom, i think that goes on the contact us page
[22:37] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle ye
[22:37] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> yes
[22:38] <Danielle_Danko> okey doke
[22:38] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle, i don't think comcast is blocking gmail
[22:38] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> they are afraid to
[22:38] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> get a gmail account and send it from there
[22:38] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> but you can try sending from your comcast
[22:38] <Angelica_G> Tim I am developing a marketing plan to sell additional services to real estate agents packaged with the classifieds
[22:39] <Tom_Nestor> Tim, Is there a way to add Premium listing information to the Free Listing Page?
[22:40] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> tom, there is already a big presentation about premium listings on the free listing page
[22:40] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> right below the button to submit for your free listing
[22:41] <Danielle_Danko> tim-john, your gonna laugh but i just received a message to my yahoo acct from admin. One out of 34 isnt bad :)
[22:41] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle, i am checking to make sure the reverse dns is working on all the servers
[22:42] <Danielle_Danko> ok, ty
[22:42] <Danielle_Danko> Nice show this morning, I listened to it before.
[22:43] <Danielle_Danko> I think I was on Angelica's page with the pcl not coming up with the rest of the classifeds.

[22:44] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> it is like this chat 24 hours a day
[22:44] <Tom_Nestor> Tim I was thinking more personal info plus adding a sample what a premium add will look like or would that be adding too much info to that page?
[22:44] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i may change over completey from the forum to this. the forum has been inundated with these robot signups
[22:44] <John_Gosselin> Tim - did you see my request to run cron's 6-8 times on my blog?
[22:44] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> tom, thats all on there, what an ad looks like, billboard in the desert, etc, and an order now butotn that goes to "contact us"

[22:58] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> note from blog talk radio: jag@diamond-sharp.com
[22:59] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> oops
[22:59] <Marvin_Davis> well T-Rex it seem's i'm finally getting my self on track lol
[22:59] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> note from blog talk radio: For now, most hosts’ revenues will be minimal, as BlogTalkRadio has secured several accounts, most of which on a performance (or ‘per click’) basis. However, as we begin our Ad Sales efforts and grow our network, you will notice your share of revenues grow as well.
[22:59] <Danielle_Danko> tim, what you dont earn in $ you earn in love from us
[22:59] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ahh
[22:59] <T-Rex> thats good to hear Marvin
[22:59] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i am doing it for you not the money
[22:59] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> but i will take the money if they want to give it to me
[22:59] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> anyway as the note says, it should grow as they get more advertisers.
[22:59] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i have heard ads on my shows that I hear on daytime talk radio,
[23:00] <Marvin_Davis> ty T-Rex
[23:00] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> so you all should get your show started,
[23:00] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> start doing a weekly interview of local businesses
[23:00] <John_Gosselin> Is posting my e-Mail like putting it on the bathroom walls?
[23:00] <Danielle_Danko> what does that mean?
[23:01] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle, start a radio show at blogtalkradio.com for free, and post it on the front of your portal, it plays the latest show you did until you do the next, and then the older ones are archived so they can listen to them.
[23:01] <John_Gosselin> He posted my e-Mail address above
[23:01] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> then you interview a business once a week for the show
[23:01] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> john g, i am sorry, i was working on something for you
[23:01] <John_Gosselin> Sorry Danielle - though you were talking to me
