			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two new photo contests started almost 5 hours ago: monthly contest <a href="http://pets-area.com/index.php?option=com_photos&amp;view=contest&amp;id=6" target="_self">&#8220;Cat Of The Month July&#8221;</a> and &#8220;The Best Smile&#8221; among dog and cat lovers around the world. And many beautiful photos have been submitted already. Who will become cat of the month July and get a LitterHouse? We will find out it on 28 July. The photo contest <a href="http://pets-area.com/index.php?option=com_photos&amp;view=contest&amp;id=3" target="_self">&#8220;The Best Smile&#8221;</a> is rather difficult competition but very interesting. Three winners with most voted photos of their smiling dogs and cats will get great herbal and natural pet care products. We all know that our cats and dogs can smile. It&#8217;s wonderful.</p>
<p>Both of these contests are open to all cat and dog lovers and owners around the world. To participate in competitions you need to be registered member with Pets Area, create profile for your pet and submit pet&#8217;s photo on contest page.</p>
<p>We wish all participants good luck!</p>
<p>Join contests, vote for photos that you like and have fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s well known that some pages on website have more exposure than other ones.  Most visited pages on our website are <a href="http://pets-area.com" target="_blank">home page</a>, <a href="http://pets-area.com/index.php?option=com_pets" target="_blank">breed center</a> and <a href="http://pets-area.com/index.php?option=com_sobi2&amp;sobi2Task=search&amp;field_status=3" target="_blank">classifieds  section</a>. We&#8217;ve decided to give possibility to our pet professionals to get maximum attention from people who come to website with purpose to find pets. We&#8217;ve added three paid advertising options for our members that allow them to place listings and pets in most visited sections on our website and thus they will be able to get more visitors to their profiles and websites:</p>
<p><span id="more-41"></span></p>
<h2>1. Home Page</h2>
<p>This is a very premier advertising location. This page is the most visited on our website. Your listings or pets can be placed with link to your profile or with direct link to your website. Advertising places are limited. There are only 6 places for listings &#8220;Pets for sale&#8221; and 6 places for listings &#8220;Stud pets&#8221;. Price of this option is $15 per month. Price with direct link to your website is $30 per month.</p>
<p>Here is example how your listing will look on website:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-52 aligncenter" src="http://blog.pets-area.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/homepage2.jpg" alt="home page listing" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<h2>2. Breed Center</h2>
<p>This is very important section on our website. There is a lot of information about pet breeds and it has many visitors. There are three different pages for placement in section &#8220;Breed Center&#8221; :</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://pets-area.com/index.php?option=com_pets" target="_blank">main page of Breed Center</a> where your listings will be placed with link to your profile or with direct link to your website in section according to your listing’s status &#8220;for sale&#8221;, &#8220;stud&#8221;, etc. Price of this option is $10 per month. Price with direct link to your website is $20 per month.</li>
<li>one of pet type pages on Breed Center: <a href="http://pets-area.com/index.php?option=com_pets&amp;breed=2" target="_blank">dogs</a>, <a href="http://pets-area.com/index.php?option=com_pets&amp;breed=3" target="_blank">cats</a>, <a href="http://pets-area.com/index.php?option=com_pets&amp;breed=4" target="_blank">rabbits</a>, etc. depending on type of your pets. Your listings will be placed with link to your profile or with direct link to your website in section according to your listing&#8217;s status &#8220;for sale&#8221;, &#8220;stud&#8221;, etc. Price of this option is $8 per month. Price with direct link to your website is $16 per month.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Pets Area registered members can add listing &#8220;Pets wanted&#8221; where they indicate their requires concerning adoption. There are three variants:</p>
<p>1. Adoption required</p>
<p>2. Adoption possible</p>
<p>3. Adoption impossible</p>
<p>Now our members can add not only listing &#8220;Pets wanted&#8221; with requires of adoption, they can add listing and create pets&#8217; profiles that are ready for adoption. When members want to put their adoptable pets on website they click in their profiles &#8220;Add listing&#8221; and choose &#8220;Awaiting for adoption&#8221; from the list.</p>
<p>I think this is very good improvement for Pets Area and we hope we will help homeless pets to find good and lovely homes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve just added some features in users&#8217; profiles:</p>
<p>1. The field &#8220;State/Province&#8221;. Now our members can indicate not only cities and countries where they live but state (if they live in USA) or province (for other countries). It gives better results of search for people who want to find breeders or pet lovers in their location.</p>
<p>2. Every Pets Area member in registration choose whether he/she is pet lover or breeder or shelter, etc. Users can change their category at any time or add other categories in their profiles&#8217; settings. It helps people to find, for example, breeders very quickly and easy.</p>
<p>3. The posibility to add pet breeds that users consider neccessary in their profiles  and as many as it needs. And so every member on Pets Area can be found by pet type and pet breed of course if there are breeds in profile.</p>
