And for those of you who are unclear on exactly what the function is of the programs that Ron and Standard Internet advertise, here's an explanation right from funwebproducts, the distributor of the Free Screen Saver program:

"The Application, in the course of processing a given search query, sends a request to our servers. This request includes the keyword query, time of day, browser type, default language setting, IP address, an anonymous unique ID, and a code which identifies the distribution source of the Application used by you to conduct your search. If the search query is being generated as the result of a misspelled URL or search term entered in to the browser address bar, we also receive the misspelled URL address or search term. We use this information in order to properly process your search request. For example, this data provides us with: information on which language you prefer to use; aggregated click information for the purpose of ensuring that our search partners are appropriately compensating us; information that allows us to make accurate payments to our distributors; aggregated usage and retention information; and aggregated search query information for the purpose of further monetizing commercially oriented search keywords".

In layman's terms....for all of you that spend great lengths of time on SEO, the surfers who download this "fun" little "freebee" will never see your page. Instead, only the "search partners" who are "compensating" funwebproducts will be displayed.

And if your website is called reallivegirls.com. and the surfer misspells it, they won't go to a Site Not Found page, where they will realize their mistake and have a chance to retype it. Nope, instead your request is sent straight to one of their "compensating search partners" again. So, you've lost the client for good.

Yep, Ron & SI are doing a great service to our industry and to the internet in general. And as always Ron, I look forward to your reply. Guaranteed to try and discredit the poster (me , in this case) but also guaranteed to not touch on the real issue.
