Have sponsors gone too far now?
I'm starting to think that programs have gone about as far as they can with offering webmasters incentives. Free hosting, free galleries, free content, $30 for a $1 trial.
Big stands at shows, free food, drinks, parties, sex, rides and rock and roll. What's left?
I'm actually talking now to a Webmaster who uses sponsor content and is tired of getting turned down everywhere.
Then I see the other side, and no disrespect to anyone, and some sites STINK. Crap content, old pictures, sometimes pictures with a bad color tint and content that clearly does not fit the niche they proclaim.
Then there's a poor design that I've seen a 100 times before, with the same old tour that I've seen 1,000 times before.
All with little thought and less imagination. But click on the Webmasters link and you can see they are promising everything they can to get more traffic to these pages.
But if I was trying to fill a bucket with a hole one way would be to pour more water into the bucket. The sensible side of me says plug the hole, but I can't afford to stop so I keep pouring in more and more water.
As I said no disrespect to anyone.
