Why aren't webmasters smart enough to not fall for "Branding" - GoFuckYourself.com

Clicky_Bucks · 04-17-2005, 05:38 PM

This has always made me wonder. We have several "Board Personalities" who create intrigue and drama in the sole effort of advancing their own name. Whenever they are called on it, they usually say something to the effect of how smart they really are because they are just branding themselves and it's not their real personality.

My question is if we all know the people doing this and what they are trying to accomplish, why are they still able to do this? I find it insulting that they think I'm stupid enough to fall for their little game.

For Christ's sake, we are fucking webmasters, not a bunch of surfers. You have people telling you what they are doing to you and you still fall for it.

This is too funny.

People still "fall for it" because it works. Anybody who says that branding does not work is truly clueless.

Example of branding in action.....

Everybody here has heard of Juicy.....I see that Clicky_Bucks has been registered for almost a year...Yet, I have no clue who you are or what you do.....Nor have you done anything to perk my interest for me to find out.

If branding were worthless then every major corporation in the world would not be using it to increase sales.

Visa, a very well branded company has used Donald Trump for one of their ad campaigns. Why does Visa need Trump?

It's called "branding."

The question is, do those same people have the "smarts" to realize when someone is just posting for fun. They increase their branding but at the same time couldn't care less what anyone thinks as they do their own thing off the board that 99% of the board would never even know about.

loll good one.

If you dont know then i suggest you get someone to tell ya....as I laugh all the way to the bank....

You can post all your want but in reality you will still be a unbranded "nobody" as far as my sheep are concerned they seem to be the ones sending you your checks.... and have much more money than you will ever have.

Explain this theory of yours to the program owners and other players that are bigger than you and I will ever be on how branding works....

Yawn I hoped you enjoyed your 15 min Clicky.... Cause its over.

Clicky_Bucks · 04-17-2005, 05:57 PM

I never said it didn't work. Just curious why it works among people who should be smart enough to not fall for a Pirate and other figments of people's imagination.

Not hating, more power to you.

The pirate is the most creative and consistently funny personality I have ever seen on GFY. He sure beats the hell out of the majority of the retards around this place.

If there was ever a natural PR manager to market a product or service on GFY, he would be it.

Your lack of knowledge of this particular subject probably explains why no one knows who the you or clicky bucks is.

You might want to do something about that. If interested, please feel free to visit PimpsPromo.com

Which is why I was surprised when you told me who you thought it was.

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 04-17-2005, 07:53 PM

I do not think anyone is impervius to branding.

On the real tip I think that if something works and is practical whats wrong with getting the word out through branding?

Yes Branding is abused from time to time especially in America, where if somthing does not have brand its is not commercially viable. However the truth comes out in the end and the brand remains with or without the company that made it.

I never branded myself. I branded a goat.

Stick that in your pipe & smoke it : )
