[22:23] <Mario_Torres> hi donald

[22:23] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Dale, you have had 2 positions for the rotating banner cards, with unlimited amount of cards you can rotate.  I told you last night that I got the code fixed and put it in the control panel.  As I was loading it onto the auto installer to put on your portals, I thought, I wonder if they would like to have 16 rotating ads instead of 2?   if you want to see what they will look like on your portal, go to http://exploregahanna.com/  and look on the front page, then click on news and see the 8 tower ads

[22:23] <Jim_Johnson> looking forward to it

[22:29] <Dale_Cable> I think thats a good price for front page

[22:30] <Rick_Caldwell> I have spoken with several businesses interested in a web site in addition to a Premium Ad

[22:30] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Rick C, the power page should be sold along with the premium listing, and I suggest $1000 to $2500 per year total

[22:34] <Rick_Caldwell> Tim, do you have an estimated number of people who have visited all portals for the latest month available?

[22:34] <Janiece_Thompson> I think I have one good prospect

[22:35] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Mario, your cards are very  nice.  Mario, did you realize the moving ad, the fellow with the record, is violation of TOS ?  not to scold you, they are very nice ads

[22:35] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> janiece, very good!

[22:35] <Rick_Caldwell> ty for your answer.  I see various forms of how people charge for a website/power page

[22:35] <Janiece_Thompson> I also have another aquaintance that is currently doing sales who is interested.

[22:35] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Janiece, I have found you usually have to i nterview 10 to get hire 1 salesperson.  and then you have to hire 10 salespersons to find one good one.  so if you have a hire out of the first 3 you are doing excellent

[22:35] <Joy_Wray> Janiece, sounds like you're on fire!

[22:35] <Mario_Torres> did not know it , I'll change the ad

[22:36] <Janiece_Thompson> Thanks Joy I just want to hit the ground running

[22:36] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> those numbers may sound discouraging, 10 to hire 1, then hire 10 to find 1 good one.  that means you interview 100 to find 1 good one.  

[22:36] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> but if you set your mind to that, you will not get discouraged,

[22:40] <Joy_Wray> Tim, you mentioned a couple of times on the radio today about listening to the evening minutes.  Unless I'm not going to the right place, the last post was April 24.  Right?

[22:40] <Janiece_Thompson> Thank you.

[22:41] <Janiece_Thompson> Her name is Nataki Higgins-Montgomery. So if you see her, she's from me

[22:41] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy, hard it which way?

[22:41] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Janiece, ok thanks

[22:42] <Joy_Wray> Mostly no answers or incomplete answers.

[22:42] <Rick_Caldwell> Tim, another figure I hear all over the place are the number of pages linked to each city portal.  I have seen the figure of 10,000 to 25,000.

[22:42] <Joy_Wray> Are you expecting other pd's to answer our questions?

[22:42] <Rick_Caldwell> What is the correct approx figure?

[22:42] <Janiece_Thompson> I also got a couple of free listings today, Yeah!

[22:49] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> francis, do you mean leaving the chat?

[22:49] <Mario_Torres>  Joy and if the portal directors read the manuals and see the silde show it would be better

[22:49] <Joy_Wray> So, Tim, here's one of my unanswered questions.  How do you resize a picture for classifieds.  And Mario I have done all of that.

[22:50] <Francis_Charbo> when i was talking to you in private - my power went out

[22:50] <Jack_Piotrow> Tim, I have a few editing suggestions on the presentation booklet. They're not overwhelming, but I feel they are important. How shd I go about getting them to you?

[22:50] <Mario_Torres> I answer that question I recommend getting photo impact or adobe element

[22:51] <Mario_Torres> I can help you out if you tell me what program you are using

[22:51] <Joy_Wray> I have several programs that should work for that without buying something else.  I just need to know what classifieds is looking for.

[22:52] *** Quits: MichelleOusley (KWirc Java IRC Client owned by P.E.E.L. Inc, created by JM Guerra García a.k.a. KennyWood)

[22:52] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy, if you want to resize pictures you need a graphic program

[22:52] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> I sugggest you use photo impact which you can get a free trial from at ulead.com for 30 days, after that it is or you can get it in a box at best buy. I can help you on it since it is what I use also.

[22:52] <Mario_Torres> First look at the file on top of the program and in a sub menu it will say resize

[22:53] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Jack, you could post them in the 24 hour support under technical, or here,

[22:53] <Mario_Torres> from there you can resize the picture to any size you wnat

[22:53] <Joy_Wray> I have NVU and I have Paint.

[22:54] <Joy_Wray> But what size is acceptable is the question?

[22:54] <Angelica_Gwinn> Joy if I understand you correctly, you want to know what are the parameters allowed on the classifieds section

[22:54] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy, I would say up to 250 by 250

[22:54] <Joy_Wray> I'm sure I got to that size and I was still rejected.

[22:55] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, the rejection size is not by pixels, its by how many K, and I think it is 50 K,  the limit is posted,

[22:55] <Angelica_Gwinn> 45?

[22:55] <Joy_Wray> It says 45 K.  So what is K?

[22:55] <Mario_Torres> were are you placinf the image front page ad, or a premium ad?

[22:56] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> 45 Kilobytes

[22:56] <Joy_Wray> Just in a classified announcement.

[22:56] <Rick_Warren> have more newstower up at www.brokenarrowportal.com

[22:57] <Mario_Torres> joy try a 300x200 and work for there

[22:58] <Rick_Warren> Tim, still don't undaer why the ads show on world news. All out of shape.

[22:58] <Rick_Warren> understand why

[22:58] <Angelica_Gwinn> Joy, if you want, you can send me the image and I'll test on my end

[22:59] <Joy_Wray> Angelica that is very sweet of you.  

[22:59] <Mario_Torres> joy what the size of the original image?

[23:00] <Joy_Wray> Another unanswered question.  All of our portals direct viewes in two places on our portal to all thos (0)'s.  Doesn't look good.  When will that be corrected?

[23:00] <Angelica_Gwinn> my pleasure Joy - I'll help in anyway I can - I am office tech support now :)

[23:12] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> rick, ok, checking

[23:12] <Danielle_Danko> ok, maybe i wont.  Tim, my car ad disappeared off the front page and when I click on classifieds it shows up as auto quantitiy one, but when I click on it - there is no ad...

[23:12] <Angelica_Gwinn> Rick I see what you mean

[23:13] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, the cron may have not run yet,

[23:14] <Joy_Wray> There appear to be many glitches in classifieds so I'm very reluctant to encourage anyone to use them.

[23:15] <Joy_Wray> But this would be a great way to get people to use the portal.  Right?

[23:15] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, yes,

[23:15] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i don't think there are very many glitches

[23:15] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> if any

[23:15] <Danielle_Danko> It was there for weeks already and now just disappeared, but in admin it says it there and not suspended and doesnt end until the 16th

[23:15] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> we worked a year on that, and had lots of people doing live testing

[23:15] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle, how long did you have the ad set to run

[23:16] <Mario_Torres> Joy I made a couple of clssified and had no problem just pratice a little

[23:16] <Angelica_Gwinn> Joy I have a 300x226 here: http://patersoncityportal.com/paterson-nj-classifieds/postings/n9d8vz8o.html

[23:16] <Joy_Wray> Mario, it is not me.  I used to think that and gave you all the benefit of the doubt.  But there are glitches.  How do you explain -- without touching the ad -- the disappearance of the name and address at the top of one of 5 coupons?

[23:16] <Danielle_Danko> for the full 45 days, and this was one of  the first classifieds I put up, it has been there until today

[23:17] <Danielle_Danko> the expiration date is the 16th of this month

[23:17] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle, did you at any time edit the classified ad after placing it?

[23:17] <Danielle_Danko> no

[23:17] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ok, because if you do you have to remember to reset the time you want it to run, its always 10 days by default

[23:18] <Joy_Wray> And why should we have to tell anyone using the classifieds -- like my animal shelter listings -- that they have to change the listing time each time they edit?  

[23:18] <Danielle_Danko> i know, but it was set at 45 days, and has been there all along and shows in admin not expiring until the 16th

[23:18] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, the name and address cannot dissappear from a coupon unless you edit it

[23:18] <Mario_Torres> joy when I started I did not know anything about html, uplaod and all that, Tim help me any I pratice and pratice, we were there where you are so I know how it feels,

[23:18] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy, its on the form as to the time it is to run

[23:18] <Joy_Wray> I did not touch it.  I merely went to print it to hand out.

[23:26] <Joy_Wray> Moving on to the next concern.  I believe our portals are to be for the benefit of the community.  We need to encourage use of the portal by the community.  I was told by a perspective portal director that the front page looked like nothing but ads.  Now it is going to look like even more advertising.  This is not going to attract more readers, is it?

[23:26] <Danielle_Danko> ok Tim, its the 3rd one from the bottom

[23:27] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, there are the same amount of ads in the "above the fold" as there has always been

[23:27] <Danielle_Danko> Joy, I missed something.. What else is added now to look like more advertising?

[23:28] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> the important parts are the weather, the calender, the links to the different areas, and the news

[23:28] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> also the search engine for our busiensses, and the google search engine are n the same place as always

[23:28] <Joy_Wray> But with the revolving business cards, it looks very unattractive.  Can we opt out of the business cards?

[23:29] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy, yes I can make an option to turn off the revolving cards.  Keep in mind, you can instead use them for community content, such as local parks information, scouts, schools, etc.

[23:29] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> if youd on't want to use them for ads, consider it space to provide more useful services

[23:29] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> and if you don't want them to revolve, post only 1 ad

[23:32] <Danielle_Danko> your welcome, i hope that helped

[23:32] <Rick_Warren> Tim, thanks for getting us back in to the Tulsa blog

[23:35] <Rick_Warren> Joy, I have to agree with Tim on the top part of the front page It only shows the One Ad and the Top part of the BC Rotator

[23:35] <Joy_Wray> Tim, I know you are trying to do the best for us.  But when there aren't any responses to questions and pleas for help -- and for anyone with integrity -- it becomes a question of whether or not you really WANT to sell ads.  I feel a tremendous obligation to my one premium listing to make this work.  But I feel totally unsupported.

[23:35] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle, the problem with the ad, is that you have them both set as premium, and both set as not paid, that is why it does not show up

[23:35] <Joy_Wray> Rick, some of us felt that the first ads were too much.

[23:36] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy, I do my best to be in here every night to answer qeustions

[23:36] <Danielle_Danko> Tim, it was there all along, maybe since you entered my paypal info it disappeared??

[23:36] <Joy_Wray> You hear the questions and promise answers but they don't come.

[23:37] <Rick_Warren> Also its a very good idea about setting in community activies on the BC and just put in one or to ads in them

[23:37] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy, are you talking about a premium business listing that you have sold already?

[23:37] <Joy_Wray> Yes.

[23:38] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy, exactly what is the problem you are having creating a premium business listing?

[23:39] *** Quits: Jim_Johnson (Connection reset by peer)

[23:40] <Danielle_Danko> Tim, if I go and mark it as paid, It's my ad, it says I will violate the TOS, should I do this ??

[23:40] *** Quits: Dale_Cable (Connection reset by peer)

[23:40] <Joy_Wray> Tim, no problem in creating the listing.  It's done.  I just have a problem with the fact that I accepted $1300 and I want this portal for this community to work.

[23:40] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, you will see that I activated the ads as paid, and now they show up.  If you create a premium classified ad, i twill not show up until marked as paid, which is done automatically when someone pays it.  of course you are not supposed to go in and manually mark it as paid unless you believe the person did actually pay via paypal

[23:41] <Danielle_Danko> ok, but if its me and mine I can right?

[23:41] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, no,

[23:41] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i did it to show you

[23:41] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> its ok to leave it for now

[23:41] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy,  is the parts of the portal you think are not working, the classifieds?  or is there other things also?

[23:42] <Joy_Wray> The classifieds -- for sure.  And the lack of support are undermining my confidence.

[23:42] *** Joins: Jim_Johnson (Jim_Johnson@KWirc)

[23:42] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy, I am trying to understand what support I have not given you, i am sorry to keep asking that.

[23:42] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> hi jim j

[23:42] <Joy_Wray> I have to have 100% belief in what I sell.  

[23:43] <Jim_Johnson> HI Tim

[23:43] <Danielle_Danko> ok Tim, thanks

[23:43] <Danielle_Danko> for bypassing it for me

[23:43] <Jim_Johnson> I was sneaking talk at work today on radio show

[23:43] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, if you try again to create a free classified ad, and make sure you don't accept the premium option, it should show up

[23:43] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> jim j, shame on you!

[23:43] <Jim_Johnson> Like I was saying this is a really good system.

[23:44] *** Joins: Dale_Cable (Dale_Cable@KWirc)

[23:44] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy, what do I haev to do to get you up to 100%

[23:44] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> hi dale

[23:44] <Danielle_Danko> do i need to contact you if I have any others that are only for premium?? I thought autos real estate and employment were strickly premium??

[23:44] <Jim_Johnson> The more I started to learn about it the more I see how much went into putting it together

[23:44] <Joy_Wray> Get rid of the (o)'s for one.  Where is the local author page which seems to be clicked on often?  And the classifieds which not only are inconsistent but seem to be difficult for the lay person to use.

[23:45] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, yes, real estate and auto are strickly premium.  Since these ads you placed were in auto, you did not have the choice to create a free listing,

[23:45] <Danielle_Danko> so I would need to contact you if I have to sell another, like my husbands car or something, just to let you know its me?

[23:45] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, the 0 is not a problem, or a glitch, as i said, did you look at brokenarrowportal.com as an example?

[23:45] <Joy_Wray> Tim, I want this to work so much.  I see a real future and a great income.  But instead of offering us more avenues of income, can we not build a firmer foundation with what we have?

[23:46] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy, we tested the heck out of the classifieds for a year, i am sure they are working order

[23:46] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Joy, the authors is under upgrade, are you aware that at any given time we have 10 programs we are upgrading or adding?  If you want there to never be anything under constructrion, then I will have to just quit improving the portal.  such as the new 16 ads i just put out,

[23:46] <Joy_Wray> What do you mean the (O)'s are not a problem.  Click on the blue line at the bottom of my portal -- as well as most everyone else -- and you get (0)s.  How to build confidence in a perspective customer!

[23:47] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, that is the page that gives the premium busienss listing customers more exposure.  its more incentive for them to buy a premium listing

[23:47] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, go look at brokenarrowportal.com/local please

[23:47] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> please

[23:47] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> please

[23:47] <Joy_Wray> Not when they see no one else has.

[23:48] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, the portals were like this when you signed up, you saw what you were getting

[23:48] <Angelica_Gwinn> I have to run out for a few minutes - I'll check back in when I come back - if I miss you, good night

[23:48] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> gn angelica

[23:48] <Joy_Wray> Tim, you can't be serious.  There was so much to learn how was I to know what to look for.

[23:49] <Jim_Johnson> I am using that to explain to prospects that they are getting pre launch pricing with me

[23:49] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, do you want me to just stop improving the portal, take out everything you dont' like and leave it as it is forever?

[23:49] *** Angelica_Gwinn is now known as Angelica_Away

[23:49] <Jim_Johnson> I will have higher prices as sposts become populated

[23:49] <Joy_Wray> It wouldn't have meant a thing to me.  

[23:50] <Rick_Warren> Joy are you talking about the zero in the classifed site.

[23:50] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> If you don't want a 0 in the business listings, dont' create a category until you have a listing for it

[23:50] <Joy_Wray> No.

[23:51] <Rick_Warren> I see then you are talking about the business listing  as Tim said above

[23:51] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> do you want the area remove that shows only premium business listings?

[23:51] <Joy_Wray> Tim, I have NOT created a category without a listing.

[23:52] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, in the free business listings, you have no 0's

[23:52] <Joy_Wray> That's not what I'm talking about.

[23:52] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> I know, you are taking about the page that shows premium business listings only

[23:52] <Jim_Johnson> For me that is the best part. I am showing people how they are geting in on the ground floor and taking advantage of entry level pricing

[23:53] <Jim_Johnson> Beating the price increase

[23:54] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ok, what if at the top of the page that shows premium business listings, i have alink that says, to see "ALL" business listings click here

[23:54] <Joy_Wray> Tim, at the bottom of my portal it says "click here to view local business members of the Sun Valley Idaho Portal."  That's when you get the zeros.  You also get the zeros at the top where it says click for premium listings.  Zeros'  I really would like to get those filled in but it's going to take awhile!'

[23:55] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, yes, that is the premium business listings only, to give busiensses that buy a listing more exposure

[23:55] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, what if i could ad a graphic that is very visible taht says, "this page is PREMIUM BUSINESSES only, but CLICK HERE to sell ALL busienss listings"

[23:55] <Joy_Wray> That's great when they are a premium listing.  I agree.  But all these are not.

[23:56] <Danielle_Danko> Tim, maybe with that section, could it possibly just show the premium ads only that were created?  Like they look when you actually view them in a catagory, the picture?  Is there a way to set it up like that?

[23:56] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> maybe

[23:56] <Joy_Wray> Well there must be an answer.  Because as a customer, I would question it.

[23:56] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, what if i could ad a graphic that is very visible taht says, "this page is PREMIUM BUSINESSES only, but CLICK HERE to sell ALL busienss listings"

[23:57] <Joy_Wray> That might work.

[23:57] <Joy_Wray> It used to show when you clicked on premium listings --just premium listings -- didn't it.

[23:57] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> never

[23:57] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i mean

[23:58] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> it showed all categories but only listed the premium listings

I had a plumber the other day mention he knew I was just getting started, even though I have 2 premiums up there and 3 cards and tons of classifieds, so maybe if people are actually taking the time to view catagories each at a time, it looks like there arent many people putting ads on, and why should they?

[00:19] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle, do you mean, link to an actual premium listing instead of a directory of premium listings?

[00:20] <Danielle_Danko> yes, it would look nicer I think, even if they are all put on one page just to show we have listings

[00:20] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> oh

[00:20] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> hm

[00:21] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> interesting concept

[00:21] <Danielle_Danko> then I think it would intrige folks

[00:21] <Danielle_Danko> to keep searching

[00:21] <Danielle_Danko> all the time

[00:21] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ok if we do that, how should the ads be organized? alphabetically

[00:21] <Danielle_Danko> also alittle competition involved

[00:22] <Danielle_Danko> if thats possible, if not I dont have a problem with them all just showing up, this way when they actually search regular listings they will view them as well

[00:22] <Angelica_Gwinn> finally caught with this interesting topic

[00:22] <Danielle_Danko> and know of the concept..

[00:23] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ok if we do that, how should the ads be organized? alphabetically

[00:23] <Danielle_Danko> & maybe on that page link, we could also put some fillers ourselves or put the rotator there if each individual director wanted

[00:23] <Angelica_Gwinn> Tim - from a programming perspective, why not just number the categories and then you can program to pick up and list the categories that have premium listings

[00:23] <Danielle_Danko> like the bottom page ad

[00:24] <Danielle_Danko> I want the physical add showing

[00:24] <Joy_Wray> I vote alphabetically.

[00:24] <Danielle_Danko> so people see we have them

[00:25] <Danielle_Danko> some folks wont look at my salon catagory and might never know I have a premium ad there if they dont click it

[00:25] <Danielle_Danko> but they will see what we offer if they see a page of nice premiums

[00:25] <Dale_Cable> so what if people think they have to look through all ads to find what they want?

[00:25] <Danielle_Danko> without knowing what a premium is

[00:25] <Angelica_Gwinn> I was giving it some thought when I left and I realized that since every portal has different categories it would be impossible to write a program for all the portals, but if you number them, then you can use the number for "if" "then" syntax

[00:26] <Rick_Warren> Like the idea of going to the free business listing page it and have a link on it the our premium list page

[00:26] <Angelica_Gwinn> and you can use the bottom link to list all actual premiums as Danielle is saying

[00:27] <Danielle_Danko> it look better for business if we actually have business' to look at from prospective clients or community members

[00:27] <Danielle_Danko> and i am not talking about taking there time away, its mainly the point that some will never know we do that if they dont physically see it

[00:28] <Danielle_Danko> and i have not contacted them, you know the guy down the block - maybe he has a nephew who is a photographer or something and says hey, i saw this site and they do great ads

[00:29] <Danielle_Danko> but if he has no use for a salon, he'll never know we have nice ads because he doesnt click on it, he only clicks on medical and i dont have one there

[00:29] <Danielle_Danko> get it Dale..

[00:30] <Danielle_Danko> Am I making sense ??

[00:30] <Angelica_Gwinn> my mouse is acting, I may have to reboot

[00:36] <Danielle_Danko> true, but you will definately notice we do nice ads and possibly mention it to others, that we dont just look like a flat directory

[00:41] <Rick_Warren> shows

[00:41] <Danielle_Danko> Rick for instance, say my wonderful husband, who is a definate Man's man..  views my cool premium salon listing with the great logo they have and reads alittle- knows this is my cup of tea, and goes and gets me a gift cert. for mothers day.. He would have never know that place exsisted if he didnt see the full ad while looking blindly at all the premiums

[00:41] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> if we did that, how would we organize them?

[00:42] <Danielle_Danko> yes

[00:42] <Angelica_Gwinn> Tim we would still have the other option with the listing by category right?

[00:42] <Angelica_Gwinn> otherwise, selling the spot would not work

[00:42] <Danielle_Danko> I dont think it need organizing really, just a nice page of nice adds, then they can go to the catagories later if they want to view all salons or whatever

[00:43] <Angelica_Gwinn> Tim, you can call those featured business

[00:43] <Danielle_Danko> of course it would work, they are still going to show above everyone else in their specified catagory

[00:44] <Ed_Bremer> how about a brows all premiums button

[00:44] <Angelica_Gwinn> like in the yellow page book

[00:44] <Rick_Warren> As Tim say this will cause alot of organizational problems if you have very many premium listing in the portal of all different size and etc.

[00:45] <Rick_Warren> Load time could get very slow and people will leave

[00:45] <Angelica_Gwinn> Danielle I thought you were talking about having an additional link to all the ads

[00:45] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> angelica, the option of the free business listings would be exactly the same,

[00:45] <Danielle_Danko> why?  you can't just link those to one page regardless of size, look at the bottom page ads we can use, we put whatever in there like a blank page??

[00:45] <Angelica_Gwinn> Rick, not if in a separate link

[00:46] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> reading back to catch up

[00:46] <Angelica_Gwinn> ok

[00:46] <Ed_Bremer> that's true Rick--Chandler ads used to take forever to load

[00:47] <Danielle_Danko> yeah, regardless of adding one extra page or not

[00:47] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ok, maybe,

[00:47] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> we could link it to show premium listings, and have the most recent show up at the top

[00:48] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> but

[00:48] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> hm

[00:48] <Dale_Cable> The portals value is its traffic .It is very easy to use now as is and if you change things to show off ads and lose users what have you gained?You have a chance to sit with a business owener and explain the portal you don"t with the local user.

[00:48] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> not sure joy will go for that

[00:48] <Rick_Warren> So then what we are talk is a listing page the has the business names with links to the pruimem page

[00:48] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> you all did see we have search boxes that search only premium listings right?

[00:48] <Angelica_Gwinn> yes

[00:48] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> you should be showing that to your premium listing clients

[00:49] <Rick_Warren> Yes

[00:49] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> hm

[00:49] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ok

[00:49] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> maybe

[00:49] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> hm

[00:49] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i am stuck

[00:49] <Danielle_Danko> my point exactly!!  Why would you lose users, if anything you would gain users, your showing them we offer more than just the list of business

[00:50] <Danielle_Danko> but we have to worry about the local users, they are a part of the community that is searching for listings

[00:51] <Danielle_Danko> i am not just worrying about selling

[00:51] <Danielle_Danko> i want everyone to view the site and want to use it for many reasons

[00:51] <Ed_Bremer> good point

[00:52] <Danielle_Danko> Some things are better to see than explain too, especially to those you cant visit with or the guy who does have a business

[00:52] <Danielle_Danko> but knows someone who does or is just stopping by to see what were all about

[00:52] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ok i am lost here

[00:52] <Danielle_Danko> then he in turn will tell his friends or wife or kids or the dog

[00:53] <Angelica_Gwinn> where did we lose you Tim?

[00:53] <Rick_Warren> Danielle again I'm lost .

[00:53] <Danielle_Danko> i meant doesnt have a business

[00:53] <Danielle_Danko> rick, i was just re-explaining

[00:53] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> the gray graphic and text link that goes to premium businesses, you want it to link to a list of premium listings, not a directory of premium listings, right?

[00:54] <Danielle_Danko> if I didnt know a thing about the portal- and all i saw was a list of business, like the yellow book, but my good friend owns a salon, why would i ever tell her about the site?

[00:54] <Angelica_Gwinn> that is what I gather Tim

[00:54] <Danielle_Danko> yes Tim

[00:55] <Rick_Warren> When I go to the business list in our portal and click on Resturants in the Business Listing. It take me to all the resturants in the portal

[00:55] <Danielle_Danko> Yes, but if you dont have a premium for a rest. then how would you know that a premium listing even exists??

[00:56] <Angelica_Gwinn> those are the premium tabs Rick but we have to have a list of categories because we don't have a tab for all the categories

[00:56] <Rick_Warren> any that have brought a priuem listing for a restutant show at the top before free

[00:56] <Dale_Cable> if you don't have one it don't

[00:57] <Angelica_Gwinn> yes Rick

[00:57] <Angelica_Gwinn> but we don't have a tab for all the categories

[00:57] <Danielle_Danko> also with the Tabs, I think if someone clicks on the premium tabs and nothing shows up its confusing because nothings there, but yet they are suppossed to be physic and know to look under free listings?

[00:58] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Danielle, you can choose to have free listings show under the tabs

[00:58] <Rick_Warren> What tabs are you talking about?

[00:58] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i think she means the 9 tabs at the top of the portal

[00:58] <Danielle_Danko> i know, but I am trying to make a point

[00:58] <Dale_Cable> you can put free in tabs your choice

[00:58] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i would suggest that you let free listings go under the tabs,

[00:59] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> the premiums will show up above the free ones

[00:59] <Danielle_Danko> that everyone is not going to spend the time to look at everything... and if they dont know about what a premium ads is or what one looks like then, they will never tell the guy next door.

[00:59] <Rick_Warren> I Have  alll add a cato in the business listing the include the top 9 tabs

[01:00] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ok, what if i have the gray link on the front page, click to a list of premium ads, and have them in order of most recent, and at the top a link to click to see all premium listings under categories, and a search box to search premium listings only, or all listings including free ones,

[01:00] <Ed_Bremer> I talk to a few PD that did not know to click new listings and see all

[01:00] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> or

[01:00] <Danielle_Danko> ok, I am going to quit talking, You have to understand, that we all know the portal..The guy down the block doesnt and if he doesnt spend the time to really look around, he really is not getting all of it features

[01:00] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i can have it show ALL business listings, but have the premium ones at the top

[01:00] <Ed_Bremer> so where does that leave surfers

[01:00] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle, i am trying to understand

[01:01] <Danielle_Danko> Tim,  thats sounds WONDERFUL!!!

[01:01] <Ed_Bremer> yes-great

[01:02] <Danielle_Danko> I think what you said first would be great

[01:02] <Danielle_Danko> Is everyone else following??

[01:03] <Rick_Warren> I quess what I don't undersitand if we don't have any pruium listing in the portall nothing is going to help someone that is not use to the portal

[01:04] <Angelica_Gwinn> I am going to reboot brb

[01:04] <Danielle_Danko> then they will see all the regular ads and free listings, but until you have a nice premium I think thats all they will think we can do

[01:05] <Rick_Warren> Danielle Going happen when you get 100's of 1000s of premiun listing in the portal and what you would like to happen?

[01:05] <Danielle_Danko> same thing applies to the business card rotator, if your not putting anything up .. then all they see is an ad to advertise, in this case they would see listings

[01:06] *** Joins: Angelica_Gwinn (admin@dhcp9590127.columbus.rr.com)

[01:07] <Danielle_Danko> First of all, I dont think that is even possible to have that many and still have the page properly function, look you were worrying about this one page being added and being slower , so how would it handle 100's of them?

[01:07] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ok

[01:07] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i can have it show 20 per page

[01:07] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> with links to the next page

[01:07] <Danielle_Danko> but to answer you question,  maybe put a limit of the last 30 created or something

[01:07] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> so have it show all businesse listings, free and premium, with the most recent at the top, but the premium listings show first,

[01:07] <Danielle_Danko> that sounds nice

[01:08] <Danielle_Danko> i like just premium, this way you can leave your icon in the center of the business cards and the premium will display upon being clicked

[01:08] <Danielle_Danko> and your sentence as you stated above

[01:09] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> but then, for those that don't have premiums sold yet, they will complain it links to nothing

[01:09] <Rick_Warren> That could be very well have we  are in a location that has over a  100,000 business

[01:09] <Angelica_Gwinn> I have a suggestion for that Tim

[01:09] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> you can sell it as a link so people can check every day to see who the newest premium busienss is

[01:09] <Danielle_Danko> Tim, I dont have any sold yet, but I have 2 there because I pay for them,  how hard is it to create 2 free ones

[01:09] <Danielle_Danko> everyone know someone in business right?

[01:10] <Dale_Cable> tim where are we on the PBC for hawthorne mazdz?

[01:10] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle yes, but, i have to deal with all kinds of personalities,

[01:10] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Dale, oh my!!! its on my list right here in front of me to do, i will get on it

[01:10] <Dale_Cable> ty tim

[01:12] <Rick_Warren> So far as the Business card rotator Its up the each PD to deciede if we want the ad to advertise or do we want to put something in it place

[01:12] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> rick, yes,

[01:12] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> its free for you

[01:12] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> you could rotate all kinds of information about the local town

[01:12] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> or you could do every other one

[01:13] <Danielle_Danko> Tim, I will personally help anyone create their 2 or whatever listings, just so they have some up there.

[01:13] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> that is kind of you danielle

[01:14] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> but

[01:14] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> you could get swamped

[01:14] <Danielle_Danko> It's nice to show someone and if someone asks its there right?  Unfortunately I have a small town, but I immediately put up 2, just to have them

[01:14] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> right

[01:14] <Danielle_Danko> I am always swamped

[01:14] <Danielle_Danko> but it would be nice to help

[01:15] <Danielle_Danko> Rick, you dont have any premiums up on your site?

[01:15] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle, if they just use the templates, listen to the video on each step, its very easy to create a premium listing

[01:15] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> rick does, type broken in his search engine

[01:15] <Danielle_Danko> I know, thats why I put them up there fast

[01:16] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> the problem is, they want to advance to master HTML and graphics user the first day

[01:16] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> but they can just stick with our library of graphics, and templates, and make a very nice ad

[01:16] <Danielle_Danko> yeah, well miracle usually dont happen to busy folks

[01:16] <Danielle_Danko> miracles

[01:17] <Danielle_Danko> if only there were 72 hours a day

[01:17] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> ha ha

[01:17] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> yes

[01:17] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> or 10 days in a week

[01:17] <Danielle_Danko> definately

[01:17] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> or 10 clones

[01:18] <Danielle_Danko> I cant master html at all yet, but I think I did ok, with my salon ad and the other I used the template for my engineer, he was quite happy, and its free for him so thats even better.

[01:19] <Danielle_Danko> He helps me in return with telling his customers about the site

[01:19] <Danielle_Danko> and I am happy for now with getting the word out

[01:21] <Danielle_Danko> Ok, well I think I am going to call it a night, my husband is just coming home from work....  Tim, I went to archives yesterday, but they weren't updated..Could you possibly do that after the other 90 million things you have to do??

[01:22] <Rick_Warren> Danielle, I still think it will load slower.  But do thing its possiable to have 100 or 1000's of premuim listing.

[01:23] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> danielle, your ads look very nice

[01:23] <Danielle_Danko> Thank you everyone for a very productive and eventful evening, please have a wonderful weekend :)))!!!

[01:23] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> yes iw ill updated

[01:23] <Danielle_Danko> ty tim

[01:23] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> update

[01:23] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> gn

[01:23] <Angelica_Gwinn> ty Tim

[01:23] <Angelica_Gwinn> gn Danielle

[01:23] <Danielle_Danko> Rick, that one page is going to make it slower, but having 100's wont?

[01:24] <Danielle_Danko> whats the difference if you have individual 100'sss or a measly 20 on one page along with 80 others

[01:24] <Danielle_Danko> ?

[01:24] <Danielle_Danko> sorry, had to answer that

[01:25] <Danielle_Danko> Ebay and myspace and tons of other sites work just find with tons of ads and people and whatever, not saying that were myspace or anything but if it needs to be faster then thats something we will have to deal with, especially when there are more cities added and more viewers everyday and more directors, which I think is the point .. To make this big

[01:26] <Danielle_Danko> then adjustments will have to be made

[01:26] <Danielle_Danko> but one page, is a far cry

[01:28] <Danielle_Danko> and besides, Tim knows what he's doing, and plans on having 100's or 1000's of portal directors some day, and he will need more servers or bigger equipment to satisfy the need to take the GLOBE by storm :)

[01:28] <Rick_Warren> My vote for now is that we link to the current business listing pages and put our preiums page in their

[01:28] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> Rick, it would not load slower, because I can set it to only bring up the first 10 or 20 listings, like you do now when you click on a tab

[01:29] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> with links at the bottom to go to the next page

[01:29] <Rick_Warren> But your right about Tim, when that day come we all will have to make the adjustments?

[01:29] <Danielle_Danko> ok, with that said ... Gn

[01:29] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> it would be the same as clicking on a tab,

[01:29] <Danielle_Danko> Tim, thanks again :)

[22:01] <Joy_Wray> Hi, Mario.

[22:01] <Mario_Torres> joy did you find out how to resize the image???

[22:01] <Joy_Wray> I didn't work on it today, Mario.  Have another project going on.

[22:02] <Joy_Wray> So, Mario, how was your day down there in beautiful Puerto Rico?

[22:02] <Mario_Torres> ok I making a video on this subject it will be ready by monday i will explane it set by step

[22:03] <Joy_Wray> Video on what?

[22:03] <Mario_Torres> very but very hot

[22:03] <Mario_Torres> resizing images

[22:03] <Joy_Wray> That would be great!

[22:03] <Joy_Wray> Does the Puerto Rico Sheraton still stand in Santurce?

[22:04] <Mario_Torres> also I will be making this week a video on how to edit the front page

[22:04] <Joy_Wray> You have a lot of work to do!

[22:04] <Mario_Torres> no they move to Isla Verde

[22:04] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> hi all

[22:05] <Mario_Torres> yes I try to help the new and old directory so tim can do hios thing

[22:05] <Joy_Wray> Mario, the very best thing you could do, step by step, is to show how FTP works.

[22:05] <Mario_Torres> hi tim

[22:05] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, i think i have the auto installer ready with the new 16 ads,

[22:05] <Mario_Torres> cool

[22:05] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> everyone, this update is also fixing the problem where you cannot suspend a business listing

[22:05] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> and it changes the link on the front page to the premium listings

[22:05] <Mario_Torres> its in one of the video am doing placeing images and uplaoding

[22:06] <Joy_Wray> Sounds like you both are working hard, as usual.

[22:06] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> joy, i can update your portal to see if you like it

[22:06] <Mario_Torres> I help Tim to make the portal directors happy

[22:07] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> mario yes you do. Angelica has also been hired to help in the 24 hour support

[22:07] <Joy_Wray> Honestly, I liked it before there were ads there in the middle -- where it said just click on premium listings.  When I see too much advertising on a site, I leave.  It turns me off.  Maybe I'm rare!
