Title: Do you guys mind if I sell some ads on my posts?
Post by: TEPaul on February 12, 2008, 05:27:30 PM
What in the hell is this? I got it in an email.

Guys:

$4,800 a month? Are you kidding me? I could buy some serious red for that. Hell, I'll even cut Ran in for up to $329.99 a month.

Do you guys mind if I sell some ads on my posts? How about if they're personal ads from some hot girls looking to party at a moment's notice?

I might be willing to look the other way and not put up a fuss if there is a little piece of the pie for moi...   ;D  8)

Go for it. It's no different than architects promoting themselves on this site. Let me know when you sign the deal and I'll make sure to hit on your posts a couple hundred times a day.

Tom,

That's one of the funniest things I've read in a while.  I was laughing out loud reading that.  The funny part is, I don't think they were bs'ing you.  The amount of clicks per your posts, you probably would be good for an advertiser!

Go for it!

I think the operative word in that little presentation for picking on it, is "viral".   ::) :-\

Do you understand that this thread has already made Tom $4.23? I'm still looking for the subliminal ad he embedded in his post... Gotta go. For some strange reason I feel like a Bud Light.

Interstingly, that link in the email the thread Ran put up about the ads a few weeks back.

Tom, you could offer us a choice: we can see your posts with the ads for hot girls looking to party, or we can see them without.

I wonder which will get more views?

$4,800 a month is barely a dent in your wine budget...what you need to do is get back on that amateur status committee and get back to making some real money...

Sully:

My latest fixation is just how much most people have nothing more than an "either/or" mentality about just about everything. So, thanks for suggesting what you did above. I think I'll do BOTH!  ;)
