Exactly whos business is it bad for ? not mine - I do very well thankyou out of it.
My clients - no - they get a measureable effective platform to promote their products. Their sales increase (we know this precisely - and from exactly what campaings and what demographic) The website owners - no - it's a key part of the revenue models. That leaves only you - the customer. So fine we'll all stop - and while were at it all ATL, BTL media will stop also. But when the quality of programming on TVnose dives, it costs you $60 to go to the movies, a daily news papaer is $10 a day, and finaly you have to pay $99 per month just to use your favour websites (that used to be free)dont come crying to me. on 9/11/05 10:55 PM, Flashcoders mailing list <[email protected]> wrote: > Maybe you do responsible advertising, but the majority of your colleagues > don't.
