If a sponsor pays for advertising, Does that make them a better sponsor?

That part is a little offensive. We turn down sponsors weekly because of bad dealings we have heard of. We have also gotten rid of sponsors for treating webmasters poorly. And getting rid of sponsors costs a huge amount of money if you add up the refund and the amount of potential future earnings.

Don't think that we would ever allow a program to be a sponsor just because they offer money. Scumbags need not apply. You must be thinking of someplace else.

That was not my intention, sorry, I know you have canned some add sponsors. I remember.

But you do see my point right?

Semantics aside.

Do you promote and make sales with every sponsor that buys adds here?

That's the point I was trying to make.

A little known fact is we have a master list that we go by when we consider a new advertiser. That list came from Greenie's stats. And, if I decide to have a sponsor that is not on that list that we don't know about, the first thing that happens is Greenie signs up and gives them a good try.

We learned and were told a long time ago that the sponsors on GGandJ are thought to be endorsed by us. We take that very seriously.

Well Kudos to you! Impressive! You should make that a "Well Known Fact"

I think that's a very important fact that should be advertised.

As I said, most people assume that if a sponsor is on GGandJ, they have our approval. There really isn't a reason to advertise it.

Shame on us for actually endorsing/supporting our sponsors & shame on us for having a legit message board community where people help each other out.

That's what you get when you assume that money talks & people only post to get their sig file seen

Thanks for continuing to do legit business when so many others will not.

It will get worse. So many celebrity reps now posting for a job while many programs quietly shut down.
