My question is if we all know the people doing this and what they are trying to accomplish, why are they still able to do this? I find it insulting that they think I'm stupid enough to fall for their little game.

For Christ's sake, we are fucking webmasters, not a bunch of surfers. You have people telling you what they are doing to you and you still fall for it.

This is too funny.


People still "fall for it" because it works. Anybody who says that branding does not work is truly clueless.

Example of branding in action.....

Everybody here has heard of Juicy.....I see that Clicky_Bucks has been registered for almost a year...Yet, I have no clue who you are or what you do.....Nor have you done anything to perk my interest for me to find out.

If branding were worthless then every major corporation in the world would not be using it to increase sales.


Visa, a very well branded company has used Donald Trump for one of their ad campaigns. Why does Visa need Trump?

It's called "branding."
