Why the hell are you guys blowing this out of proportion? The advertisers simply need more value to stay. Of all the users posting today, less than 10% add any real value.
Try going to any of the big mainstream forums and you will see they are moderated to a T. They move posts from incorrect forum to the appropriate forum all the time. There is nothing wrong with trying to clean up GFY of all the spam and add more value. The value in advertising on forums has dropped a lot over the last few years.. It's not going to get better unless something is done about it. |

Currently on GFY, we allow the community to decide the relevance of announcements. If an announcement has value to the community, it WILL be bumped. If the message is bullshit, the thread will drop. |

OK i dident read the last page here, a bit too busy at the moment.
However it seems to me that the entire post have been twisted a tad here....i dont think Dave cares about the small stuff posted here once in a while, i know i dont and doubt that was the intent of this post. However there are some fairly good size programs and few bigger ones that constantly have stuff going on and posting their weekly updates. There are also some members with small businesses that post news and updates almost daily......THAT is a kick in the nuts to ANY paying advertiser. All i have heard in here is how boring this place would be if the FREE add madness stopped. Well how do you think it would go if the advertisers stopped? Moving into 2010 GFY can go 2 different routes. 1. Cut add prices in almost half 2. clean this place up a bit Why? If you think this resession cripples the webmaster making 2k pr month try to imagine what companies like PR is loosing right now.... If you cant optimize adds you have to cut them We are taking our adds out from 2-3 places In December as they are just not performing (Eric relax not from here lol) |

the valid point, that advertisers get better value, was polluted by the comment "if they cant afford to advertise here, fuck em."
a world with no opportunity to grow from small to large is a world without innovation. So creating a class system here based on cash is a remarkably dumb idea. Simply advocate for better advertiser value & leave it there... |

Announcements on this board are content. If a shitty sponsor has a crappy or un-insightful announcement it will drop. If a sponsor has an outright terrible idea, dave is limiting our ability to criticize and make fun of him. Where would this board be without some of the massive 20 pg failures of some small programs. Example: NEW! Twin Sister site now signing up affiliates! |

Either pay to announce your shit, or gtfo.

congrats to the winners... :thumbsup |
Dave, I don't disagree with you wanting more value for your ad dollars. Just don't take this out on the community.
GFY should consider offering added value PR. Or sponsors should consider diverting some of their ad budget to public relations on GFY |

reality is if you give stickys to advertisers it's like a beacon NOT to read the ad and that it's selling something. Sticky's do not guarantee page views - we've scene that many times. but if that makes an idiot like you happy - do it. what gets page views in threads is something INTERESTING. that's it. The people who are pissed of are those who have nothing interesting to get people's attention now and their only option is to threaten with money. banning or restricting people from talking about their websites will crush this place, It's what everyone here (cept for you MR 'I hate adult' tattoo man) came here for. We all want to talk about things related to our lives which and the largest part of out lives is our work. What's responsible for the huge decline in inkednation's traffic? Thinking like this? http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?&w=40...kednation.com& at least I can say I left the business for 2 years........ LOL |

pumping something stupid is suicidal here - and a train wreck everyone just has to watch burn in flames and destroy itself. the exception is contests - and I actually agree with how they are handled.... as it is now if someone goes too far nuts bumping something they get banned and the thread gets locked. |

if you allow Dave to continue on the path to crush smaller webmasters, it will end up biting you in the ass....:2 cents: I can make a valid argument that black people should still be slaves and that women should all be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. Even if valid, arguing for something that will hurt other people - those people who support your program , is that really an argument you WANT to make? don't hurt the people who send you traffic.....there are other ways |
just a thought but wouldn't it be better to buy out the few remaining independent programs of any size or value and stop worrying about gfy? We do that mostly now...minus Shap getting pissed off lol

Eric here is what you need to do, and yes it will cost you money!
Give TOP advertisers a FREE site skin for XX amount of days every year! Its extra exposure and will solve atleast part of this problem..... |
You know what most advertisers do with ad campaigns that aren't turning positive return? THEY SCRAP THEM. Bammm, to the curb and on to greener pastures. What blows my mind is that advertisers continue to spend money on traffic they deem worthless. STOP GIVING THEM MONEY FOR A WORTHLESS AD SPOT IF YOU WANT TO SEE CHANGE. let the market for the traffic correct itself if there's inadequacies in it's performance. Don'y keep shelling out the money complaining about the declining value of the traffic. let you money do they speaking, by taking it away. You're either going to see one of two results. Cost of ad spaces will be adjusted to a fair rate due to decline in demand, or they owners of the site will make changes in accordance to increase the value of said advertisement opportunities....
Coles Notes Version: If the traffic isn't showing he results you wish to see for your money, QUIT BUYING THE ADVERTISEMENTS... |
Oh yes :) If only I had a program....
Nah... I like being just a lowly affiliate. Moving on.... |
