Call me cynical, but I'm not convinced. _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ (in reply to Thomas Brunt)

If you keep a high percentage of your visitors then it's probably not worth alienating those who accidentally clicked on your bookmark and want to go back. If you do lose a high percentage because they're too stupid to read the site content info on Google etc. before clicking, then I suppose you might as well make money out of them. I'd be interested to know what the income rate is. [edit] Oh duh... $10 per month for an average site (per 1000 page impressions). Not good is it. < Message edited by jaybee -- 4/25/2006 9:05:49 > _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to dpf)

Let's face it, people get a lot of free help on here and if putting a few high paying ads on the site allows you to pay the selfless, wonderful, mods a huge annual salary then I'm sure nobody will object. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

Donkey Posts: 3895 Joined: 11/13/2001 From: Blackfield United Kingdom Status: offline	RE: stopbounce.com - 4/25/2006 9:52:22 I have never seen the sense in using an advertising service that allows potential competitors to advertise on your pages. That's why serious commercial sites who are competing in the "real world" market place with "real" products don't tend to have google ads on their pages. Although this one directs visitors as they leave if you look at the long term implications all you are doing is showing potential customers another alternative. In most businesses that would not be contemplated. Let them find their own alternative, I would make it easy to find you and give no route from you to your competition. Also as a user I agree with Dan's point, if I click the back button I don't want a magical mystery tour - I just want to go back. People will start to think their browser has been hijacked and in a way they will be right. _____________________________ I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington.

I didn't mean to criticise outfront I was just making a distinction between "bricks and mortar" type businessess and "on-line" businesses.

I would still try and only take ads from complimentary non-competitive organisations.

If you use some SEO techniques you can be able to retain some of them. (in reply to Thomas Brunt)
