DB restored from backup

2009-06-19T09:17:36Z

Due to a bug in phpBB we had to restore the database from the latest backup. Since the backup was a few hours old, some posts made from the time the backup was done up until we did the restore of the database have been lost. We're sorry for this, but unfortunately it was the only way we could keep WorldTradeForum.com up and running and we hope you enjoy our site so much that a few lost post wont matter to you.

You can post your posts again, if they follow our rules that is. The forum rules can be found here if you need to read them again.

Since people have problems following the rule about not bumping your topic, and since some spammers post their own ads as replys to other users posts we've limited the possibilities to reply to topics in the free ad part of our forum. We're sorry for that, but we had to since people clearly not follow the rules……

We would also like to remember people that the rules of the forum also apply to the blogs you can setup. By violating the rules in your blog you could have all your forum posts removed too, so please try to follow the rules.

Other ways to get traffic to your site is to use popular free traffic exchanges. They come in many forms such as start (homepage) exchanges, safelists (opt in email ads), toolbar ads such as instantbuzz.com and forums such as the free advertising forum.

2009-05-25T17:47:03Z

CreateBanner.com is a free service where you can design banners online without any special skills at all. You just fill out a few forms and create the banners you need to promote your web site, blog or discussion forum. The best part is that it's free

Yesterday CreateBanner.com updated their services with some new banner sizes after suggestions from their visitors in their blog at blog.createbanner.com. The new banner sizes they added are:

250×300 – Big button 1
300×250 – Big button 2
180×180 – Square 1
250×250 – Square 2
300×300 – Square 3
180×730 – Extra wide skyscraper 1
250×730 – Extra wide skyscraper 2
300×730 – Extra wide skyscraper 3

These new sizes are available to both VIP members and free users so anyone can try them out. You can of course also create other banner sizes to like the most common standard sizes 125×125, 468×60 and 120×600.

As a special promotion CreateBanner will give 10 users the lucky chance to get a VIP membership each for 24 hours. All you need to do is to sign up at www.createbanner.com/coupons/ using the coupon code UYT38. You need to hurry up a little bit since the coupon is only valid for 10 signups.

Blog upgraded

2009-05-20T16:46:45Z

We've just upgraded our blog to Wordpress and the amazing thing is that we actually managed to convert the look of phpBB (the forum) to the new blog This way the site will look the same no matter if you're in the blog or in the forum part.

All posts where successfully converted into Wordpress and we even managed to get the first post on the main page so there's still a connection between the blog and the rest of the site.

To develop this site even more we're doing a little bit of research on other marketing forums and blogs, so feel free to let us know of any forums or blogs you've found where you can market your services and products (free posting forums etc). If you're helping us on this we will give you a couple of links to your sites or affiliate programs as thank you.

While we're asking you for information, please let us know if you want us to add any additional forums or if there's anything else you're missing in our forum. We want to develop the best ad forum on the Internet just for you

Also if you happen to know of any poll plug in for Wordpress, please let us know.

Start your own Twitter marketing virus

2009-05-19T15:55:51Z

We've already written about our service at twitter.xaviermedia.com/t/xaviermedia where you could get about 20,000 followers on Twitter, but what about owning the script yourself?

As a member of twitter.xaviermedia.com you could easily build up a down line of over 20,000 followers, but if you own the script you will have exactly everyone to sign up as a follower. Not only the people you refer, but also each and every follower everyone else will refer . This could result in a followers count of much more than 20,000 for you as the service "master".

All you need to run this script is a web host offering PHP, CURL, MySQL and rewrite mod, which is basically any host offering Linux or Unix hosting account . The installation is extremely easy, you just upload the files to your hosting account and run a setup script. You should have the service up and running within a few minutes

If you've noticed the great potential in having a big follower herd to market your products and services to, then check out this script at XavierMedia.cc.

Introductions now possible again!

2009-05-19T15:56:59Z

We've reactivated our Introduction forum where new members can post a hello and old members can wish them welcome to World Trade Forum . This is good news since it's a to get to know new people.

We've also created a new forum called "Misc blatant posts" where you can post any kind of posts you like. All posts are cleared every 10th minute so don't post any real ads there because no one will see them

The new forum is mainly created to reduce the spam in our other forums, because it looks like spammers choose the first available forum to spam in

Also, if you're interested in having someone else to post your ads at Twitter, then you should check out this service: Twitt.us.

Xavier Media Banner Exchange

2009-05-19T16:00:15Z

Do you got a forum or a blog and need some more visitors? Then you should check out this:

Xavier Banner Exchange is currently offering 5 000 banner impressions to everyone joining and you get an additional 10% of the credits anyone you refer earn! This means that you can get a lot of free advertising targeted to forums and blogs. One of the nice features is that the exchange is using 125×125 banners as standard which is the most common size for blogs. Most blogs are already pre-made with 125×125 spaces for ads so the exchange code is easy to fit into your current design.

If you have a blog you can write a review of the banner exchange and get an additional reward of 3 000 banner impressions just for writing the review.

The standard exchange ratio is 3:2 which means that for every 3 visitors clicking on the ads on your site you get 2 visitors to your site. But that's not all because they use sliding ratios which means that the higher click rate you have on your web site the better exchange ratio they'll give you next month.

By placing the exchange code at the top of your web site you increase the chances to get a higher exchange ratio.
