What! We already spend enough on advertising, the least 2Cows can do is show our name on a referral list (Like they did before they got this bright idea of just the top so many sellers get listed) without pay-per click. If they do that, we will defiantly liquidate and get out of the domain business with 2Cows as I don't see how this is helping the small guys to succeed.
