Free Sites and Sponsor Popups

Useless · 2005-09-23, 07:34 PM

Here's a special top secret insight to my reviewing habits: I hardly ever click on sponsor links. If I think you are marketing something questionable or it's a site I've never heard of, then I'll click-thru, but that's about it. I review your free sites, not your sponsors. That being said, I feel you should treat the surfers well and avoid pop-ups when possible. I also think more sponsors screw us than pay us on pop-up generarated sales.

The reason I won't list them if you can not click back to the site in one click is because surfers are curious and stupid.

They either click the sponsor link because they are curious and don't want to buy at them moment and want to click back.

Or they are stupid and hit the wrong link and want to click back to the site. If they can't click back to the site they probably won't come back I've lost a potential bookmarker and a potential sale for one of the sites where he or she may find something they like.
