What planet are you from?
If you where putting your effort and time into a website wouldn't you expect something back for it?
Hi wwatson1,
I don't want this to turn into an argument.
Yet, here's the part of the quote you seem to be referencing...
...offers something for a fee when other sites offer the same thing or better for free
I'm not sure what websites you visited lately...there are plenty of good websites with ADVERTISING but WITHOUT the pop-up ads.
For example, EliteTrader has advertising. I have yet to see one single
POP-UP AD when I enter this website and when I leave this website.
The advertising here seems to be well-placed, deals with the financial market without making a visitor or member here (at EliteTrader) forced to close multiple browsers being open because of
POP-UP ads.
I hope you didn't get the two types of ads mixed up!!
In addition, if one website offers a trading tool for free and another offers the
same trading tool for $30 bucks...
Are you telling me you would rather pay a fee?
Thus, back to your quote...please don't twist my words via intentionally making it sound like I was being generalize about advertising.
Therefore, I
specifically used the word
POP-UP ads upon entering/exiting a website.
Responding to your last question from above.
Yes is my answer.
A webmaster or owner of a website should expect something in return. Yet, that return may be small or none at all if the site is annoyant or an irritant to the visitors.
For example...here's your response about easystock.com
I went on easystock.com and I was nearly sick, It is like someone has just thrown loads of stuff on the page and said there you go deal with that!
Last of all, I've read your posts before (I've enjoyed them) and I'm a little surprise you went out of your way to misinterpret my words...
signing off for the day...from planet earth
