I think the point was to get the attention. They did a great job by looking at the threads in here talking about them.

Great promo it is all about marketing :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

huh? I havent seen or heard it. It must be flash.

Ya great advertising, I've heard that fucking shitty thing 10 time now and still don't even know who's it is.

Excellent advertising, top notch...

Well, I guess there are different ways to look at this. I dont think if I want to relax I would come to gfy.com and if I wasn't relaxing than I would come here for business maybe.....or talk to my fela webmasters. Than I guess it is ok to see a fucken annoying banner like that. Maybe I'm wrong.

Ya I agree,good point... cause of those stupid banners alot of us block ads & the other WM programs sufer....

to the point where eventually it would be pointless to even advertise on GFY then of course GFY will also start loosing money aswell...

In a long term perspective it would be more beneficial to everyone to NOT accept those type of ads that start playing on their own & blasting away without mouse hovering over

I didn't forget... if U block ads theres no point in adding that option in the poll U wont even now what your voting on / what this thread is about :winkwink:

But they missed the point entirely, what good is getting your attention if U don't even know who the ad bellongs to or what its about...

A great job would have been getting peoples attention and embedding theyr loggo / company name in your head so eventually you'd cum check 'em out...

This ad doesn't do that...

As U can see sum don't even know what type of company its for and the annoyance of it malkes people just wanna run away from it instead of clicking it and finding out

my point exactly

DING DING, DING DING, DING DING, DING DING...
Da Fucking thing just popped up again...

but this time I actually tried to find out / give it a chance and guess what...

you'd have to play it like a fuckin video game before it'll even let U clic on it...

Then it'll tell U what its about & then It'll tell U click here...

It just waisted my time

DING DING, DING DING, DING DING, DING DING...
and there it is again...

Total waist of Good Ad space too

DING DING DING, Yet again... damn I don't want to disable ads & mis out on other good ones cause of this Fuckin shit

Ding Ding, Ding Ding

Jebus just got dinged again WTF!:disgust

4.4% so far.. that's not too shappy

idiots :2 cents:

Does ready to kill them count???

every time that thing loads, I refresh the page

DING DING, DING DING wtf????

i dont even know what sponsor it is due to that banner, i instantly click the window away the second it starts... refreshing takes too long. So id say no, not a great way to advertise.

Are you for real?

Kinda like how AFF and Zango gets tons of attention? Yeah that sure benefits them.

You learned nothing from Zipatoni's grand fuckup?

If a product is marketed, the owner of said product dont want everyone to hate their product. They want everyone to love it and get it. Not to spit at stores that sell the product.

Yes, there is such a thing as "bad attention". Kids the age of 4 know this, why dont you?

(and why dont the banner people..)

Bump coz that fuckin banner just woke up my girlfriend, I forgot to turn down my speakers

Ding Ding, Ding Ding, Ding

DING DING DING,,, That Fuckin thing just caused and argument between me and my lady cause it just woke up her daughter

Really annoying...

I think it is hilarious. Not to mention, I love knocking Joel around!

the new one is still really annoying, but the DD one is aggravating GRR!

R

DING DING DING.... Here we go again.. round 2

DING DING, DING DING... Round 3 Joel got his ass kicked

I've never even seen that banner...

haha good post

DING DING DING, Pops up again... Sum one do sumthin

DING DING DING Bump cause it popped up again

now 5.26% of all gfy users have signed up to that banner, based on this poll :D

I would be pretty happy with the ad value if I were them...

banners with sound suck big time.

Don't know if it's been said as I don't have time to read this all, however.

Would you sign up to a site with banner that annoys the fuck out of you or is aimed at morons? Kind of tells you something about their marketing skills.

it's a really annying way to advertise :Oh crap

We all envy your marketing skills.

I almost never have the sound of my comp on :)

I wouldn't... 93.20% haven't signed and thats unacceptable advertising to me... Consider how much this company is paying for that advertising spot & you may just realize that their ad is not reaching the potential it could...

After all 5.26% = only 5 GFY members... now I'm not sure exactly how many members FGY has to date but U do the math... All I know is I'd be expecting alot more signups by now or I'd pull / replace the ad with a better one...

My point exactly I'd want to target the majority no minority

I dont blame U :winkwink:
