Glad to see I wasn't ripped apart from airing my views
I see your points - about style etc. and I like to think that I make some pretty spiffy freesites that get accepted nearly everywhere and I make sales off them. I just feel I could make more $$$'s if link list owners would loosen up and allow an fpa or a small pop up.
I don't mean putting an fpa before every page or full screen chained pop ups that you need to Alt + F4 to get out of - this ain't cool either but we are here to sell and these are sales tools which should be utilized and are effective if used properly. I know that I have to abide by the rules or not get listed and that it's the link list owners who have the final say at the end of the day.
I still stand by my point that if a surfer sees the same content over and over he/she is a freeloader and needs to be dealt with! Bookmarkers? Fine and dandy if you have a vast number of them - we all know there is power in numbers. But I think having a huge amount of bookmarkers is more of an ego trip than anything.
I know I'd rather have fewer bookmarkers and more sales.
