Adlandpro Free World Classifieds: What's Always Been Different And Better? by Kathleen VanBeekom (December 2011)

Here are just a few of the free benefits that impress me the most about Adlandpro Classifieds since it was created in 1998 and even more now as we near 2012:

1. We can geo-target and category-target our ads for free, no extra charge, always.

2. We can choose to be notified by email when people click through our ads to visit our sites, and if they are an Adlandpro member, their link is provided to us in that notification so we can easily contact them, these great benefits have also always been free.

3. We can choose to have our contact info from our profile automatically included with our ads.

I've been an affiliate of Adlandpro Classifieds since April, 1998. This is one of the first ad sources I used, and other sources didn't bring in as much traffic. Now over a decade has passed, the internet is filled with unlimited advertising sites and most of them still don't offer geo-targeting or category-targeting, and some are just starting to offer geo-targeting as if it's a new idea, and charging extra for it. Most ad sites also don't notify us by email when people click through our ads to visit our sites.

I've continued to get longterm visitors to my ads, I recently got a visitor from an ad I posted over a year ago. Adlandpro Classifieds can provide very longterm traffic.

I'm writing this especially for people who've never used Adlandpro Classifieds, or have used it and don't realize the impact of these FREE benefits, so they will be more aware of what Adlandpro has offered for nearly 14 years that other classified ad sites don't offer. That's why Adlandpro Free World Classifieds has been a mainstay of internet marketers since the turn of the century for marketers who recognize high quality advertising.

These sound like small simple issues, they are very important, these are free benefits that Adlandpro Classifieds has ALWAYS offered, and can help you to more easily gain leads and signups for your businesses.

Adlandpro Classifieds has always given us the free options to find leads in the areas that are best for our businesses, and to easily have communications between advertiser and visitor.

To explain more about my statements at the top...

Two things that impressed me the most about this classified ad site since the beginning and even more now:

1. We can geo-target our ads to certain countries for free, no extra charge.

2. We can choose to be notified by email when people click thru our ads to visit our sites, for free, no extra charge.

Something that dramatically changed millions and now about 2 billion peoples' lives worldwide was...the internet. Another thing that changed 1,000's and now into the 100,000's of peoples' lives worldwide, including mine, was...Adlandpro.

You may think that sounds weird, an advertising/networking site changed someone's life? Yes. It gave me a starting point with online advertising that became a daily part of my life, and it still is.

If anyone would have asked me in the late 1990's if I'd still be logging into Adlandpro in the year 2011 and going into 2012, and it would be huge now and have a community where we can have our own forums and online communications with other people working from home worldwide, or just chatting, I wouldn't have believed it, or maybe I would have liked to imagine it. Now will we imagine another 14 years until 2026? What else happens after worldwide advertising magnitude and a 24-hour global community? I guess we'll find out.

What was I doing before the internet? Trying to earn from USA mail-order, and studying print marketing methods. Now that seems like the dinosaur age. Mail-order is slow and can only reach as many people as you can afford in print advertising. The methods are still basically the same online: Advertising, Tracking, List-Building, Following-Up. Adlandpro also offers tools so you can accomplish all those tasks, it has a complete marketing tools area, not just a place to post classified ads and engage in networking.

Without the internet, what would the world be doing? The same as usual, working at jobs they don't really like, or maybe they do like, but dream of something that takes less time away from their families, and doesn't make them feel as if they're being unappreciated for giving half their day (or more than half) for a paycheck that isn't worthy of who they really are, who they want to be.

There are around 2 billion people online now at the end of 2011, and the internet is 24 hours per day instant access, and many of those people are looking for ways to earn extra income, so if we maintain focus on good businesses and good advertising sources and consistent networking, all those activities can add up to longterm success.

From 1998 until around 2004, Adlandpro was all advertising, before the Community was created...

I started my Community membership in 2006, even though it was created 2 years before that, I knew about it but I kept my focus on the advertising area and was hesitant about entering a group of people I didn't know. When I finally did venture in, I really enjoyed the online forum conversations with people that I otherwise never would have had the chance to communicate with, and also gained signups for my business offers because I was logged in almost every day and chatting, and got to know a lot of people from around the world. The daily familiarity is very important, participating in forum conversations is very important, from a human perspective, people want to know other peoples' human side, and also know if the person will be there on a daily basis, if there are business contacts, that's important to be dependable, in the same places every day where other onliners can easily see you and find you.

I still run into lots of Adlandpro Community members all over the internet in different networks, people from here recognize each other's names and photos for years, nearly every online marketer had and still has a membership with Adlandpro before everything else.

As times change, we realize that name-recognition is extremely important, serious marketing can't be done on an anonymous basis. People want to know if they are joining businesses with a sponsor they'll be able to find easily online, and we've had that ability for a long time at Adlandpro Community.

The business links I used in an old testimonial and also in the affiliate banner area, are no longer in business....Adlandpro IS. That says a LOT...this place has stood the test of time. The owner of Adlandpro, Bogdan Fiedur, has made sure his site is still there after 13 years, that's one of the most historical advertising and networking sources online.

I owe my success to contacts I've made here, and also to my own longterm motivation, and Bogdan's longterm motivation...Adlandpro is a rock-solid part of our advertising efforts, even though we're all over the internet in dozens of places, the classifieds/advertising area brings in clicks to our ads on a consistent basis.
