Obviously you have know Idea how we do and what we do for our clients and
the TGP owners as is normal.
Not being one of the sites we handle you wouldn't know how much work we can take off your hands.
Fortunately our clients and TGP owners do.
We are not just an order taker. We spend thousands of dollars every month promoting not just CyberCat but the Websites we represent. If we can drive more traffic to them then we get better. I get a lot of email's saying I saw your ad in AVN or on Google and that brings in new clients all the time. Are you under the impression that GFY is the only place to get advertisers??? We have had board presence for over 8 months. And the only clients are the ones we already have and love.
Frankly Shap I don't have to justify anything to you. I wouldn't dream of going to others in your industry and criticizing how you do business. I would imagine you run your business to suit you and the majority of your users. So do I. We do a lot of handholding in this industry with newbies. Blanket statements for pricing and rules just don't apply as they can change with the wind. Most of our people like how we do business and most have become friends. That's what were about. Not just the money. We've been doing it a long time and find this works best for both our clients and ourselves.
If your trying to get commercial time for the other adbrokers out there fine but I won't comment on them. They run their business and I run mine. There are bricks and bouquets on all sides. The quickest way to go broke is to try and please everyone.
We are all in competition for the advertisers dollars. The best, cleanest traffic sites will continue to attract clients.
We have waiting lists for a lot of positions on the sites. Our aim is always to sell out the site. Not always possible but they do well.
As for notifying people about their advertising. First the 15th of the month all banner advertisers are advised of their renewal options. If a reply isn't received in the allotted time then the space goes to the next in line. Or we have auto renewals but at no time will I auto renew without prior authorization. I have fought the banks before and don't feel like taking that much time out. Textlink customers are advised when their links are coming to an end. Send me more links and we'll book you but no links can be booked without the galleries in place. That leads to empty spots. Webmaster's know when they are due or should. They are also running a business and we respect them as busniess people. Previous purchase of any spot does not guarantee you that spot if you do not reply to the renewal notice. That would be unfair to the other webmasters in the waiting list and a lot of times non response is the way some webmasters respond. They may think oh I'm cancelling so I'll ignore it.
Anyone who has been with us once knows that they get renewals. If the response is late there is a pecking order with only so many spots availiable.
As a gallery buyer and a new tgp owner you are very very aware know that the gallery positions can change minute by minutex
so placing it on the site would be a waste of time and money never mind the repurcussions from buyers when a spot they wanted went out while they were thinking of buying. Ever had a plane seat taken out from you when you were trying to get it online. Not pleasant.
"The way you do it now it takes 3 to 5 emails back and forth and waiting around before business gets rolling." That's BS and you know it. I can get an email, a response and money in my bank in 10 minutes. Sometimes there are questions. If so there are emails back and forth. This would obviously be questions which weren't able to be answered originally and wouldn't have been if the pricing was on the page. No one sends 3 - 5 emails about pricing or placement. It is usually about something else.
For asking a few questions it sounds more like a democrat going after a republican frankly. If your pissed at me let me know.
What our percentages are, are between the TGP owners and myself. Any business we do with anyone is private.
But we do have a renewal rating across the board of between 95 and 97 %. Seems like someone's making money.
All I can say is criticism is easy. People get to sit back and reflect with a very very very small amount of information. However Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
How about we talk about this on the YNOT Radio program on Tuesday. Love to have you as a guest. Let me know if your availiable. 3 pm EST Tuesday's.
