how about virus mails ? people love those ? or not ?;)

How about links that don't go where they say they're going, popunders, dead / misleading customer service links, lack of support, misleading / false join text....., etc. etc. etc...

lol they need a study for this ;)

Oh I thought I was the only one!

I personally love spyware/adaware installs :)

what a waste of money on that study.

if there were not at least a few people who click at those banners, there would not be any :mad:

Ya no kidding!

i wonder how many other stupid studies our government pays for

they actually did a Study on that........what a colossal waste of time.

lol Wired is always a few steps ahead of the game.

I hear some day " HUNDREDS " of people will be able to chat and send near instant messages to others from all over the world on this new thing they call "the Internet"

You don't have to read studies just ask me :)

And spam mails?

They sure click through them though. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I pocket over 3k a week on my exits and things. They hate them, but it must be a love, hate relationship.

:thumbsup

Exactly people supposedly hate them. Well if that's true then no one would click them and advertisers wouldn't use them because they wouldn't be making nay money off of them.

Fact is that surfers want the internet to be ad free and everything on it for free. I can't count the number of people I encounter that are shocked and angry that there are ads or they be required to PAY for things on the internet.

I say newspapers and magazines have ads. I say TV has comercials. That's what pays for the shows. Is wear 99% of people are ignorant of the purpose of advertising.

I ask them if they shop at Wal-Mart or eat at McDonald's should they get those things for free? Of course they say no and I ask them what the difference is?

Some think because they pay for internet access they should get everything for free. I tell them that they have cable, but they don't get HBO for free.
