3. How long will my ad
stay in your database?

Your ad can stay indefinitely if it
is being renewed on regular basis. In addition if you are a free
member, you can place up to 20 ads. Placing any new ads will
just remove oldest ads if you exceed the 20 ad limit. If ads are older than
4 weeks they will be removed from our database. Updating your ads on
regular basis will ensure that your ads are not
deleted.
If you purchase any paid services
from Adland Pro your ad will stay
indefinitely.[Back To Top]

9. Why am I
being charged in Canadian Dollars? I don't live in
Canada.
|
Adlandpro is a Canadian company
and all credit card charges on our end are expressed in Canadian
Dollars. This information is provided before the final ordering
step and in the email confirming the purchase. The prices
on our site are quoted both in US and Canadian Dollars. The amount
expressed in Canadian dollars will be automatically converted by
the cardholder's credit card company into local currency. In the
case of US customers, the amount charged in Canadian Dollars will be
approximately the amount which we quote in USD. For
customers coming from other countries, the process is the same,
we just don't display those prices on our site. Quoted US
pricing is a fair indication for all customers regardless of
where the country of origin.
If you would like to convert
into your local currency, simply access this
currency

11. How can I use the IP
address provided in confirmation messages from clicking on my ad on
your site.
|
Although by using sophisticated tools
you can determine many things based on the IP address (not
the email address though). we provide the IP address for two primary
reasons:
-
Sometimes you will see the same ip
address appearing in the confirmation messages in short periods of
time. This might mean that the same user is clicking and can't
connect to your site. Either your server is busy or down, visitor connection is slow, or there are some other network
problems. You may want to check if there are any problems
on your end.
-
You can verify how the
system works by clicking on your own ad on our site which will
create such an email address with your IP included. This
way you can verify that the system is functioning in real time and
nobody is clicking to give you impression that you are
receiving traffic.

12. I've been notified of
two responses to an advertisement, but have not been advised as to how I
can review the responses.
|
|
Responses to
your advertisement are email messages sent to you when
visitors to our site clicks on the heading of your ad. When
this happens, our visitor is redirected to your site. At the
same time, a message is being sent to you (if you selected this
option) to notify you that a user has visited your
site. This option helps you to analyze the effectiveness of your
advertising. Those messages act like simple hit counters for
your ad when you have no other sophisticated tools to
track your responses. In some cases when the user who
clicked on your ad is our registered Adland Pro user, your confirmation
email will contain a link to contact this person.

13. Why do your statistics have more
click thrus for my websites, than my website manager statistics , which
have always been 100%
accurate?
|
Here are some most obvious
reasons.
-
Somebody clicked on our site but your
server was down or busy and they didn't wait any longer.
-
Somebody was able to connect to our site
but due to connection problems on the way between you and them,
click on your link on our site resulted in unresolved domain or
DNS error. Your site didn't load.
-
User clicked several times impatiently on
our site on your link (each click is a hit recorded) but there was
only one visit to your site.
-
Search engine or other spidering
software crawled our site, encountered your ad but your stats
didn't show it because stats only
look for human clicks.

16. What is an Affiliate
URL?
|
|
An Affiliate URL is the URL you provide us which contains a link
(The link code is provided by us) back to Adlandpro.com which
diverts traffic from an external website into Adlandpro.com.
The immediate result is that you earn credits which go towards
displaying your ad on other Affiliate Sites while providing
Adlandpro with more visitors to display your ads to. [Back To Top]
|
|
17. Why was my Affiliate
URL rejected?
|
There are any number of reasons why an affiliate URL may not be
approved. Here are the main reasons:
-
Submitting a URL which refers to Adlandpro - The
purpose of the program is to divert external traffic into
Adlandpro.com. If you are submitting a URL which
refers to Adlandpro.com then traffic is not coming from
outside the site and thus defeats the purpose of the
program.
-
Incorrect or Invalid User Linked - Make sure that
the code you used refers to YOUR userID. There is a
portion of the code which appears like "?ref=281002"
the portion after "ref=" must be your userID. If not,
this must be changed.
-
Submitting a non-English Character Set URL -
Because the vast majority of our user sites are in English,
affiliate sites must be in English or will not be accepted.
We do not have international subsidiaries at this time.
If your site was rejected, make sure the character set is
not in a different language.
-
Page Not Found - This is pretty self explanatory.
The page which you submitted is non-existant and our
automated system cannot access it. Make sure the URL
you submit is correct.
-
Time Outs - Sometimes servers will be down for
whatever reason and we understand that this happens from
time to time. When we get this error message on URLs
you submit, we try them once more the day after. If it
is still down, we suspect a greater issue is responsible and
thus remove the submission from the database.
-
Link is Banned - There are a lot of websites out
there which use simulated clicks to divert traffic to
websites. We watch for these carefully on our
Affiliate Links. Make sure you are not using a site
which uses pop-unders, spiders, robots, or any other
auto-surfing technology to create activity on your Affiliate
URL.
-
Inappropriate Content - We will not approve any
websites which link to, distribute, or is in any way
associated with Adult-Related or Pornographic material,
pirated software or copyrighted material, Questionable
Content, or any subject or theme which may be considered
offensive in nature.
Please ensure that when submitting an affiliate link that the
link is visible on the page, the page is accessible (ie: not in
a password protected area like a mailbox and such), and your
webserver is running.
Please email our support department if you have questions beyond
this document.

What is a Renewable Ad?
|
|
A Renewable Ad is an ad which takes advantage of our premium
Hourly Automatic Renewal service. This means that each
hour, the ad is renewed and placed at the top of the search
results once more over ads in a similar category and country.
Free ads do not have this service by default and this option can
be selected in your Ad Services panel in your Member's Area.

Error In Application '/' Message
|
|
If you encounter the screen that informs you of an "Error in
Application ____" there is no need to be alarmed. The
reason you are seeing this screen is that our programmers work
"Live" on the website and make changes throughout each business
day to provide new functionality, correct errors, and perform
maintenance on the system. This is usually a short-term
delay and doesn't last more than a few hours from the time you
encounter the message.
What to do if the message persists:
If the message persists, please
inform us
of the page you were trying to access, the
activity you were trying to perform, and the time of the
message. This will aid us in pinpointing the problem and
speed up the process of correcting it.

|
21.
What URL are you asking for?
|
|
Your affiliate link is the web site address of the page on which
you have placed your affiliate link? Once you have placed
your affiliate link code onto a page, it is the address of that
page which you must submit to our system for approval. The
link is then verified either manually or automatically and
provided the link is correct, as it should be if you copied and
inserted the code exactly) then you will be approved.
Please note: This does not necessarily have to
be the website which you are promoting. It can also be
your Community Web Page, your Adlandpro Free Webpage if you
signed up for and built one, or any other page on the internet.
The main thing is that your link must be there.

How Do I Place Your Link On My
Website?
|
|
This is a very common question which does not have a simple
answer.
There are hundreds of types of web builder websites and
programs out there that it is impossible for our support team to
correctly walk anyone through this process step by step.
This is not something which can be determined easily.
Imagine this example:
A person calls a mechanic and says "Where do I install
sparkplugs in my car?" naturally, the answer from the mechanic
would be, "What kind of car?" if the mechanic is unfamiliar with
the make/model, they cannot tell this person step by step how to
put the sparkplugs into their car.
The same is true for placing a link. It is not
difficult but requires some effort to complete. Here is
the best way to go about it:
1) Consult the help files of your program for phrases like
"How to insert a link", "Inserting Raw HTML". If you can
find this, you're well on your way.
2) Contact the support team for the online website builder you
are using. They will be able to show you how to insert a
link or RAW HTML.
If all else fails then you can place your link on your
Community Webpage. You can find your link code by
clicking here

What Do You Mean By 6 Keywords?
|
|
Keywords are words or short phrases which relate to your product
or service. Think of it this way:
"If I were searching
for my product or service, what words would I enter into a
search engine to find it?"
For example, if you were
selling auto parts, you might use words like "Aftermarket" and
"Custom Parts" etc.
You must come up with 6 of these words or phrases.
