People should do that to surfers. Not webmasters.

.


I know they see it in Euros, now they see it automatically. (like i explained above) that is not "regional billing"

If you hit one of my join pages right now you will see that it says 19.76 Euros

If I activate regional billing it would say 29.95 Euros

That's ALL regional billing does period. (using their recommended settings) You can customise them from there.

uhm.... WHAT?
The euro has bought always more than one dollar except for 2,5 years (from mid 2000 till the end of 2003). So in the almost 10 years that it exists the euro has been worth more than 1$ for 75% of the time.

I was excluding the Euro, sorry, speaking from a time when the Euro was not so popular to use. and when i say years and years i mean like over the past 50 years.

It's really not an important part of the topic anyways, other than now the euro is worth so much more enabling us to charge you guys more.

The euro being so strong is mostly due to the germans, from what i have been reading.

The value of the euro vs the $ is high because of our higher interest rates. Stupid euro bank keeps raising interest rates to keep inflation in check, making the euro more attractive to investors. Yes the Germans helped - their stuff is really expensive and yet their exports kept growing. Crazy Germans!

I think though now it's going mental because your trade deficit has gone a bit nuts making the $ of less value.

Dunno though really, but I always thought one of the major deciding factors was interest rates making currency more attractive for investors.

Not really, the euro is just strong because of the problems in the US economy right now and because of some people who want to get rich on buying/selling currencies. Europe's economics is in deep shit right now, too, mainly because of socialistic countries like Germany or France, which are slowly going towards recesion, too. If US banks wouldn't be so stupid with giving away loans to anyone just to have the most clients, euro wouldn't be that strong. I guess we need to wait until things get back to normal.

Are you so stupid as to compare a $30 per month porn membership to a $1000 a month server or content package? I mean come on...

The US economy is too strong to be in this trouble for too long. Dollar will get stronger, just a matter of time.

I agree with that. When it does, a lot of people will clean up. I've not ditched my dollar sponsors, but I do promote people who give me more bang for my buck now. When the dollar gets stronger again it'll be like getting free money :)
