Hi Kenneth, you couldn't be anymore right on this subject. When you take a look at the structure of AdlandPro you find that it is set up exactly as your opinion states. I do not understand why some find this so difficult to figure out. Thank you

Hello, Thank you Ken for this interesting topic. I like your "Bulletin Board" idea. Wishing you continued success with your business. Lucy Johansen

I agree with you that we are all internet marketers, but I think the people Kenneth might be referring to are people who advertise a new "pet program" every single day. For one thing, there's something wrong with their marketing philosophy if they join a new advertising program every single day. While I see value in getting recommendations about what programs to join, these people can't possibly have carefully evaluated this many programs, so their recommendations really aren't helpful.

Hi Kenneth, I commend you for addressing this topic because it has always been a controversial issue. The usual experience is that anyone who tries to talk about it gets rudely attacked by memebers who prefers the status quo of in-your-face advertising. I agree with all the points you presented. I am hopeful that you won't be attacked as usual. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

Kenneth, Your article is well stated. People do join Adland because they are seeking a means of advertising their business. It is most likley they have a very limited budget to utilize for marketing, so they look for any and all free sites they can. It is easy to understand this because 9 years ago I was in the same situation. Then one day I made a business decision and began seting aside some money to cover the cost of advertising. As my business grew, I then began to purchase qualified leads of people that were like minded and wanted to begin their own online business. As we know, Adland has a paid advertisment program that is very reasonable. I believe a person can begin sending out an ad for only a few dollars. I have used the system and received some good results. Now!!!!!!!! If you were to go to a person's web site and they had contact information on their site, would you send your advertisement to them using their contact email? This is what is referred to as "Flamming" a persons site. It is not legal, now is it ethical. When a member of Adland goes into a person's forum just to place their ad there, it could be considered a "Flamming Issue". There is one other thing that a person should consider. Let's say they only have a few friends in their list, and they create a forum to invite them in. Are they limiting their marketing to only those few friends, expecting fabulous results? I have heard it said: "If you continue to sow what you have always sown, you will continue to reap what you have always reaped". That is the "Law of the Harvest"! Make a Business Decision Today and begin paying for your leads and advertisements. A small investment will reap greater results!!!!
