I used Offshore clicks for all of about two hours.
I'm one of these fossils who thinks it would be nice if surfers came back to my sites sometime, maybe I'll have a banner then that they like better than the onces I have now.
I'm also one of these people who will not return to sites that fuck with my browser.
The Offshore Clicks people take your traffic and torture it. There's a misleading dialog box that resets your home page, a ton of alerts and popups, odd-sized windows that are hard to close, and all that sort of thing. It ain't surfer friendly at all.
I know the collective wisdom in this business says screw the surfer, but I simply don't agree. It's short term thinking.
How long would Walmart last if they adopted the practice of having that exit "greeter" person spray liquid manure on every customer that exited the store? Not long, right? Now, would it make any long-term difference if they collected four cents for every customer they sprayed with manure? I don't think so.
