The results are in and they show that the number of hits on
ADNS's

in March to 530,634 hits
compared to 353,000 in

Whats more amazing is that the number of unique computers using
our root
server jumped by 288%. This means that our
advertising campaign is working.

someone else does.

SUPPORT ALTERNATIVE
DNS EDUCATION: VISIT AND SHOP AT OUR SPONSOR'S WEBSITES
You may have noticed some banner ads appearing on the ADNS
website as well
as THE.EARTH. Every time you click on
one of these ads and visit these
merchants, and every
time you buy something from them, a percentage of the
sale goes to Alternative DNS Education. ADNS will use all of these
proceeds
to purchase advertising to enlighten both web
surfers.
The more you visit and shop, the more people will become
educated about
alternative DNS and the more hits your
alternative DNS website will get.

THE.EARTH - THE
IMPROVEMENTS KEEP COMING
ADNS operates the first Alternative DNS web portal in the world.
Located
at http://The.EARTH, this site is only accessible if your machine
can see
the entire web via alternative root
servers.
Last month, we separated the content into individual pages: US
News, World
News, Science and Technology, Lifestyle,
Health, Sports and Environment.
This month, we are going to continue adding dynamic content and
links to
hundreds of sites around the world. We will
also work on improving the site
layout to increase
usability.
The.EARTH will soon host a special page with nothing but links
to alternative
DNS websites. If you would like a link to
your site placed on THE.EARTH,
send e-mail to
info@ADNS.NET with the details.
