    they're not the biggest so why trust your traffic to them.......

    i've never chosen a program based on it's size - i do it based on quality above other things and if I like it or not
    Are they advertisers here? Paying for ad space? Probably. So I have no issues with them.

    Spinning wheels here.

          I think a dedicated "Announcement" could be of good value for GFY and their advertisers.

          Advertisers could could get a pinned thread for a week on such a forum, ensuring higher exposure vs non advertisers.

          Furthermore I don't think it would hurt the board to have in general 4-5 pinned threads at any given time in the main forum from advertisers only neither.

            considering traffic to GFY has dropped like 60% or in the last 2 years
            Did the 40% drop go to other sites? If not, where do you think the other 40% go?

              Yes, I request that we have hourly fresh coffee in the lobby. I find it tends to get cold and stale after about an hour of Juicy dipping his waxed nuts in the pot every 5 minutes.

                fair enough...GFY can give you more exposure without creating a spam forum for people that don't buy advertising.

                Why would anyone read a forum with nothing but advertising anyway? The only creative content on this board are the trolls. Just my feeling, but all the traffic on this board will move to the interesting threads, not a forum with nothing but program marketing.

                    so anyone who can't afford a $3000 ad shouldn't be allowed to talk about their program?

                    I'm REALLY loosing a LOT of respect for you in this thread............

                        PR_Dave , stop advertising here if you are not happy the way it is . This place
                        is like the Adult Craigslist (and they don't even have any advertisement there) , the free concept does wonders to sites ,
                        take that away and you will lose traffic quick ....

                          you have some good galleries. I posted them as such.

                          dozens - I think not - i doubt there's ever been more than 3-4 on the site at any time.

                          usually less.

                          do they do well - yes - your program is good. not going to deny that.

                          If you think I'm going to suck your cock for that - you don't know me very well.

                          if posting your galleries requires me to agree with you - BE CLEAR ABOUT IT and SAY IT NOW. if I have to agree with you on GFY to use your galleries or get paid for them, then our business relationship is done.

                          The hate comes from watching someone trying to kill the little guy. Why do you care if a shitty little program posts a spam on GFY? Does it hurt you?

                          I hazard to say it probably HELPS you - why?

                          someone tries the little program. the new little program is new to this game. They don't have all the systems you have and experience you have in place to convert. They arn't cascading like you are or have the programmers you have. as such they don't convert as well. The webmaster then tries your program as SEES the difference.

                          I'm honestly disgusted by someone wanting to stop a smaller program from trying to exist.

                          if a rule like you suggest becomes a rule here, I WILL leave. I will find another place to spend my time and I'll take a lot of people with me. Will I end GFY? - hell no. But I can guarantee that a rule like you suggest like this will severely hurt GFY. I stuck by GFY on their decision to allow the tubes to advertise, why - fair playing field. By your logic no would should be able to slam them in any thread cause they paid for the spot. I won't have any part of that. I'm here cause this place is free, unrestricted, and overall a great place I have supported with huge time, praise, and my own money many times for close to 10 years.

                          Please don't take that away from me and everyone else here. You will do more harm to the webmaster community then you could ever imagine.....unless that is your goal......

                          I pray you have the wisdom to retract your statement. I understand the idea of maximizing your advertising dollars. Hurting the little programs is the wrong way to do it.

                              Kudos to Sleazy. 100% on point. I think the same kind of greed that fueled this post is the same kind of greed that steals from webmasters any chance they get. I don't trust people like that at all. Kind of sketchy sending traffic to a program ran on greed.

                                don't get me wrong - pimproll has some great galleries... i think i always get 1-3 sales for most every gallery of theirs i post, and i put them in LOW positions too so that means they KNOW how to convert.

                                he helps a lot of webmasters with great content and great conversions. And pimproll has ALWAYS paid me and on time

                                that's why I don't understand his reasoning here AT ALL

                                  Yep I agree with you 100% but Ibill used to always pay on time as well but then the greed got the best of all of us. All I'm saying is you got to have an eye out on greedy owners/ companies, not talking about PR-dave really just greedy companies in general.

                                    Hmmm. I understand your complaint. But I don't know any new program that started out big. Im sure there are many quality people and businesses that can't yet afford GFY advertising and "1/2 asses" isn't a very good statement

                                      Also I am all about clearing out the dead weight programs that consistently spam this board.

                                            I knew there was a reason I have never promoted pimproll in my soon 11 years in this biz.

                                                  If only the advertisers can post then we will have nothing but posts from crap cross sale programs and tube sites.

                                                  It's the little posts that have always made me the money. And I imagine that if you remove them a lot of the webmasters will follow them somewhere else.

                                                      what about all the small webmasters starting unique programs and such that can't afford a large banner but make huge contributions to GFY in time and effort.

                                                      it feels like an attempt to squish anyone starting out.

                                                      let the forum and threads stand on their own. I personally don't even like the idea of pinning a thread for a program - it should be bumped with REAL comments - not bots - and if it isn't then in reality it's something no one really wants to promote or gives a shit about anyway.

                                                      I do agree with the contest rules though - an exception might be considered for anyone running a non-commercial contest though (as I have done in the past) but the commercial ones often get out of hand and really need some control


                                                      if GFY were to stop the small webmsters from talking about their programs - I'd leave and support another board.

                                                      we're webmasters - our websites are our LIVES - it's why we're here - it's what we want to talk about and be proud about. Any restrictions on that would KILL this place.


                                                      PRdave - i think your idea is based solely on your own greed.

                                                        First off, while I'm not sending mad traffic or anything, I do promote PimpRoll sites and I've recommended them to others. And I found them through GFY. Probably a lot of people like me did, so the money PimpRoll has spent here is probably well spent.

                                                        If PimpRoll blocked me from ever posting a thread with holidays pics or something I recently shot that I'm happy about or fan signs etc., I'd be pretty bummed.

                                                        If somebody's first post is spam, I'm not going to as into promoting them as if they participate in GFY. I certainly don't like posters who are trying to sell me something in every thread they post in. I also don't like posters who are constantly negative or who are psycho racist and sexist or who are dudes who pretend to be a chick when talking to webmasters. Everybody has stuff they don't like, but I don't expect Eric to be my nanny either. I understand that PimpRoll has more reason to feel justified in making demands, because PimpRoll is paying for that privilege, but it seems to me that PimpRoll is getting value from advertising with GFY.

                                                        If I tend to enjoy someone's posts or find them useful, I'm more likely to click on a thread they started.

                                                        PS Dave, if you feel like sending me some exit or cross-sale traffic from PunkRockGF, we'd probably both make some extra dough and get a positive out of this thread

                                                                    If they don't advertiser here their threads should be 100% bounced to an opportunities / spam forum.

                                                                    I have already talked to many other advertisers and we are all in agreement. The ability to use a full size banner in our sigs is not enough of an incentive going into 2010.

                                                                    GFY it is in your hands now.

I would bet that 50% of the traffic that GFY gets is from small programs or freelancers looking for work/affiliates/etc. If the mods start moving all of these threads to an announcements forum or similar I would bet money you will watch traffic take a dive and your advertising dollars will be wasted. How much are you paying for the traffic you get from here now? Do you actually track how many clicks you get from that banner... my educated guess is that at $3k/month you are not gaining a ROI.... so why should you expect a smaller company to follow you into that rabbit hole?

                                                                        I am sorry, Eric, but any real webmaster knows the difference between a good ad buy and a bad one and at $3000/month a top banner here would have to send an awful lot of traffic to provide a return other than branding... and only a liar would say they do.

                                                                          You have been a good webmaster of ours for a long time now so I really don't understand why you are turning a disagreement with what Dave said into a war against us. Where did he say that nobody else should be aloud to make a thread? WHERE??? He is talking about advertising threads... Even if you disagree with what he is saying it is a valid argument, so valid that even Eric stepped in and not only responded but agreed that it should be something worth looking into down the road.


                                                                          A lot of people taking shots at us for being so high and mighty here, but how do you guys think we built what we have? It had nothing to do with kissing ass BELIEVE ME. We paid a fortune in advertising when we first started things up! Not just here either. Why should someone who is just riding along for free get the same exposure then?

                                                                          There is no reason we can't argue this issue without resorting to attacking each others business practices so if you disagree? Let's here it, but lets not be putting words into each others mouths here...

Alkso this would kill the value of all paid advertising as everyone would just skip over it because you knopw it was just a paid spot. The true value of any advertising is in word of mouth, real life experiences with that program Paid spots are simply that...Paid Spots.

                                                                              Industry is changing, this is a business is it not? I am looking to get more for people that advertise on GFY and less for people that don't.

                                                                              Perhaps a time limit on non-advertiser announcements would do the trick. 12 hours and then the bounce.

They want more value for their advertising dollars. Advertisers clearly do not feel they are getting what they're paying for, and that's a big problem.


                                                                                  If GFY is seriously interested in segregating non-advertiser announcements, and only allow paid advertisers to have free speech... yikes. Trying to implement that and then moderate it sounds like a nightmare.


                                                                                  There are many better ways to create value for your existing clients. Rotating skins, FPA's, etc for long-term clients .. so they get something every x-months for remaining a loyal client. GFY needs to keep these folks happy without pissing off the other 95%.

It had nothing to do with kissing ass BELIEVE ME. We paid a fortune in advertising when we first started things up! Not just here either. Why should someone who is just riding along for free get the same exposure then?
                                                                                            The problem with the rich is they stop seeing the world through the eyes of the poor.

                                                                                            Most people in small business don't start with a fortune in advertising when they first start up. Sure, if i was born rich, it would be easy to run a business. i can hire whoever i need to run my business, buy all the marketing i need to expose my brand. Most people are not in that boat, & need affordable means to do business in lieu of wealth. Most of the biggest successes in life did not start out rich.

                                                                                            Its one thing to say, give me more exposure because i am paying money that others are not...that's a valid desire. That can be done without segregating non-paying posters. That is worlds apart from what this thread states, which is literally "fuck the poor" send them to their own thread.

Double mind boggling the board administrator thinks it has merit. You have to be fucking kidding.

And i understand that he is just trying to get his monies worth out of his advertising but saying fuck you to the smaller programs just isn't the way to do it, gfy would be shit if it wasn't for ALL programs being able to post about their program.

As far as what was proposed by the OP is concerned and his characterization of other programs as "dead weight"... some of those "dead weight" programs have used logic and experience to determine that spending $3000/month for a banner spot that rotates and is displayed only one every x amount of page views is a bad investment for them. I agree that non-advertisers shouldn't be able to have sticky's or contest threads... but a great number of us read gfy to find out about new programs/sites. There is alot to be said for promoting fresh stuff and not the same old stale shit that most big programs produce.
