Just my humble opinion, if you run a pay site and Don't want to have your content used on a thumb tgp that skims it is a business decision I can admire in the fact that you are willing to give up a good 35% to 45% of your income potential on principle. All I can say is Bravo and welcome to the cheese line
I can't believe this conversation is even taking place at all. And to think that Torn was on AWI soliciting tgp webmasters to promote his "humble" little site.
Jerked around a bit or not.....TGP's are here to stay and command a sizeable chunk of the total traffic picture........So go ahead and opt out of that corner of the market.......go ahead.......crazier things have been done........like patting yourself on the back because a bunch of linklist guys happen to agree with your position.
Skimming is not your enemy.......the damn "xxx toolbar" is! I hate those damn things and hate it even more when somebody tries to autoinstall one on my machine. I see fewer and fewer sites trying this now.
