UKNM: auction search engines- final word

[Jude Beggs]

Well thats that then,

 seems like keyword bidding search engines are actually quite a good idea-

or am I just asking to be crucified again? personally I believe any

alterntive to banner adverts is a stonking good idea, it just takes a while

for people to get used to the idea. Those people will just have to carry on

paying for banner impressions on crap under-subscribed sites until they wise

up or go bust. I really ought to stop banging my own drum, but the godado

result links are based on click through. You only pay for potential

customers that we deliver to you.


Thank you all for your enlightening (sometimes frightening) comments.

OK, it was all a misjudged joke. I thought the site wanted to be talked

about.  I don't really object in any way to what godado are doing. Everyone

has to make a living and the Internet offers an interesting range of new

opportunities for people to explore.

Next time I see someone write a provocative remark like


*It seems you have to have a bad search engine to get talked about on this

list, our is wonderful so no one will.*  (I paraphrase)


I will resist the temptation to assume they wanted some provocative

discussion (even though I felt I made it quite clear I was responding in

kind).


I am sure a lot of people on this list recognised my comment for what is was

(reinforced by the fact that it went past the moderator). but accept that

some may not have done.


One hoped that the original poster would have picked up on my blatant hint

that I was joking and respond with an explanation of the site that put it's

good points. Sadly, I misjudged this though to give Jude credit I did

receive

this from the site today.


"Theres no such thing as bad pr, and you have given us some attention. Sorry

If I seem unappreciative."


So, I'm sorry and won't let my sense of humour tempt me into illjudged

attempts to continue provocative discussions to get someone else attention

again.
