To get an idea of where a Member is at with their Business Centre, would it be possible to have a "Date Joined" section in the members profile ?
This would also help in rating business centres.
A member who joined yesterday would not have had the chance to do the same to their business centre as one who joined a month ago.

Online ProfessionalTrue, but some might "throw something together" to get it up, then periodically update it as they learnt more about the program. Aug 2nd 2007 16:43 |

 Hosting and Backup Service providerHi Eric, Yes I see your point and a valid one. It would also show us who threw something together and then did nothing more with it. The BC's will need regular tweaking and updating to get the Search engines coming back to them. Bj Bill Brown aka Bjantiques Aug 2nd 2007 17:08 |

HRI think that would be an excellent idea...I always like seeing/knowing how long someone has been apart of a program. Aug 2nd 2007 20:53 |

 It's also a good idea for your downlines as well. I have 6 in my downline and I'm not sure when they came aboard. It sure would be nice to know. I was thinking about that the other day. Most programs have the date that you joined somewhere on the website and I was surprised that APSense didn't have it. Aug 2nd 2007 21:27 |

 Earning Online Since 1999If you do a search for the members name. It shows the date they started. Lynn Aug 2nd 2007 21:51 |

Online ProfessionalDoing the search is good, but being able to see it upfront on a members profile would be useful. Especially where time is an issue. Aug 2nd 2007 22:08 |

Earning Online Since 1999I agree that would be nice. I was just letting Rusty know that there was a way to find out when a member joined. Lynn Aug 2nd 2007 22:20 |

Thanks, Lynn. That is helpful. I agree about the date, though. Everyone usually looks at your profile---I know I do when I'm looking at other's sites, and it seems to me to be the logical place to have the date that you joined. Aug 2nd 2007 23:42 |

 I like the suggestion about the date the member joined. But since we're all new here...it seems a little early to be giving anyone exceptionally low scores. Some are still learning how to use UBBcode or html ... and I just went back and found out that the ABC had new features. I could add links to the changing pictures/images. Which I did...but they didn't work. I also had to redo my products page. I had a score that gradually went from about a 6 on up to 7.7 ~ and now... it's dropped to a 6.1 ... I didn' tknow there was a list of the top sites by score on the Business Center Page... I must have been on there for a short time...???? But what is great are the Products showing on the bottom of the Business Center page... That is an amazing !! Thank You, APSense !! Beth Aug 4th 2007 00:41 |

Hi Eric, If it is not too big a programming issue - i would say that every little helps. Having said that - I don't like the idea of giving us a rating tool without any criteria checks or accountability for our votes. AND it seems you can vote multiple times for peoples sites - which, although one would like to think that we are all good natured - is open to abuse in these competitive times, by some of our more unscrupulous members! lol I would like to take this opportunity to remind people - whatever WE know the ratings to be - they will stand in print as a measure of the business owners' credibility and NOT his or her ability to put a busines centre together. Which is why I would rather not rate than give a low rating. As my grandma used to say - if you dont have anything nice to say about someone - say nothing.. We are ALL trying to earn a living. and United we Stand and Divided we fall. and noone here is anyone to try to crucify another's chances at earning an honest living.!! I agre with Beth - that the New Porducts option is great for when we really have a new product to add. Jenny Aug 4th 2007 06:44 |

Earning Online Since 1999I have asked support for clarification on the voting system. My score changes without my vote number changing. Which leads me to believe that you can vote more than once..yet it still counts as the same vote...example someone gives someone an 8, then that person makes their site better..so the next time the person sees it, they give them a 9...score changes, but the number of votes doesn't. Which is a great. Because it means that members can get their overall score better over time. I will post back as soon as I hear from support, unless they post here directly.

G`day, is there an option to see who votes what score for your own Biz Centre? I ask this because it seems like some very low scores are being thrown in which naturally drops the score. I worked this out by doing simple maths, me Biz Centre isn`t that bad ... lol. Maybe a good option would be to only have the option to publish your Biz Centre after the landing page and the product page has been worked a little. I`m with Jenny in that I`d rather not score at all than give low score because nothings been done ... but .... having the date the person joined would be a help for sure, honestly, if nothings been done after a week or two, a low score is deserved. Doesn`t take much to put something up and not knowing HTML isn`t much of an excuse, you dont HAVE to use the editor in that mode. Thas my 2.7 cents worth anyway ....

Earning Online Since 1999This is what I just received...so everyone does just have one vote. Lynn --------------------------- Hello Lynn, I have noticed the same and tried a few times voting on a few that i know i did vote on already and once you vote it is in the system you voted, if you vote again on a members site and its a higher rating it will update the old vote and take the new vote as your only vote for them, this will allow you to review them more than 1 time in case they update or you decided it needs a different score. Thank you Wes Apsense Support Aug 4th 2007 10:10 |

Earning Online Since 1999Christopher, You do have the option of showing your abc on the exchange or not. It is the second option on the setup page...Publish to Business Exchange yes or no. Lynn Aug 4th 2007 10:14 |

Hi there Well I am pretty hopeless at maths - but even ican see that something strange is going on . there are some very good sites that crashed down in the rankings after on one or two extra votes - so they must have been given 1s - that doesnt make sense at all - unless the system is being abused. Regrettably there doesnt seem to be any accountability for voting practices. - but knowing these good people - I am sure that they are not far away!! Aug 4th 2007 10:25 |

Computer TechIf we have a few members that are bad apples and vote low this can cause lower scores over all. I will see if i can get the programmers to set a limit but no guarantees. Aug 4th 2007 10:59 |

Earning Online Since 1999Wes, Thank you for coming in. Another point that I wanted to make is that members are just starting to vote. Sure a member can vote low and bring your score down, but as more and more votes are made...a handful of members won't be deciding your score. The automatic five vote was removed, that hurt those of us who published early and we are still recovering from those votes. Apsense is listening and doing all they can to satisfy everyones concerns.

G`day, errrrm, Lynn .... I have mine published already .... lol ... you think I should "unpublish" it?? ... lol. I`m of the same opinion Jenny, scores going down to far to quick and c`mon, don`t think for a minute every single person here has morals ... lol ... doesn`t really worry me but if Biz Centres that are obvious 4 or 5`s start suddenly having scores of 7 or 8, be time to start makin` some noise about it then. I`ll keep updating mine every couple days, testing tweaking and tracking results will always prove worthy in the end ... ; ) Something i`m not so sure should be advertized here is something I saw posted just now ... penis enlargement! I personally think this is innapropriate but that`s my point of view, if I start seeing Viagra ads in here ... i`m gone!! ... hahha Christopher Aug 4th 2007 11:37 |

Earning Online Since 1999Christopher, I was just stating that a member has to publish his site to the exchange. When they do that is their choice. Some will want to use all the tools that apsense offers..others will only want to use it as a billboard for their ad. And ratings will reflect both these choices. In regards to the advertisement you mentioned, we have already relayed a message to support. Lynn Aug 4th 2007 11:58 |
Hi Eric,
That is a good idea it would help in a lot of ways.
However if someone turnes on their Business Exchange option without first setting their Business Center up then that would be an error in judgment?
