The FART Banner - Good or bad marketing?
 

Personally, its very distasteful and annoying as hell. I wouldn't be motivated to do biz with someone that uses farts to market their program.

I was on the phone today and surfing GFY and had been listening to music with the volume up right before that. I hit a thread with the fart banner and it went off loud as fuck as I was talking and I know the CEO on the other end of the conversation heard it loud and clear because he paused in the middle of his sentence.

I was going to say that wasn't me, but then realized what am I going to say it was, on a site called GoFuckYourself.com where advertisers use farts to sell things.

Fucking embarrasing as hell and pissed me totally off.

So is it good or bad marketing?

If it didn't have that stupid loop it would be ok.

I think it is both good and bad.Yes people will know it is your company but they will also reload so fast they wont bother to click it. But many people have complained about it and thats what gets in your head .

Sorry KRL, but that was damn hilarious when I read it. :glugglug

Did he think it was you? :1orglaugh

It's fucking annoying and unprofessional, which I said yesterday

This place is the pit of humanity.

You can't get any lower than here.



Bad

Yes, I like it and its clever marketing.

its really annoying

It's terrible, it has made me aware of their program but at the same time totally put me off promoting it.

I'm getting sick and tired of these damn banners from legendarylars...I was on the phone with the pope today and that godamn banner farted in the middle of the conversation. I didnt know what to do.....should i just tell the pope that I was surfing the gofuckyourself board or what?

This is really immature...Legendarylars needs to clean his shit up

END OF THREAD!!!

i dumped their links yesterday..

How old are you?

I would not eat at a restaurant or shop at a store that employed people that annoyed me
:2 cents:

OMG this is the best reply to anything EVER!

END OF THREAD

why, are you hitting on me?

The funniest thing is, that all of you market girls taking in the ass from multiple dicks, gay porn, watersports, etc..


And your bitching here about a fart banner... And your talking to a "CEO" from a porn company, and your supposed to be all proper or something!

I LOVE THIS PLACE

me either!!! I will never shop at the Legendarylars store ever again!!

I SAID END OF THREAD GODAMMIT!!

I wouldnt even look at it.
A bad marketing decision. It pissess peoplel off

yes dont look! Legendarylars is not known for good marketing...shame on you Lars!!!

It obviously wasn't a porn company he was talking to, or else he would have had no problem saying it was on GFY.

He paused mid sentence as if he was waiting for me to say "Excuse me I just farted."

Kind of like when you're in an elevator and someone rips one with a silencer on it and everyone looks at each other with that "come on fess up" look and you're thinking the least they could do is say excuse me I just released gas so you at least get the courtesy of a warning announcement.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

of course it's fucking lame. like i'd ever click a banner like that.

NEVER.

aww thats too bad, I heard they were quadrupaling their payouts to all webmasters with active links just now

Dude, I run mainstream businesses. Porn is a secondary biz. And the CEO I was talking to was the owner of a large online company not a fucking porn company.

are u high? KRL owns you!,and he didnt say porn CEO. He is absolutely right and I had the same experience with that stupid ass banner while i was on the phone.

You my friend are a fucking dumbass.

fArTiNg nOiSes r Ke\/\/L d3wd.

haha, go fuck yourself and dont talk bad about KRL

:321GFY

I agree 100%.. I have no idea why someone thinks it is funny or something? Not even unique just very bad promotion.

yeah no shit, bonghita sounds like hes 16 or something. i hate that banner. i thought the other 'turd' banners were funny ie the superman one but this one is retarded.

Oh my fault, tell Micheal Eisner I said hello

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

That's a fucker, but i can relate to what your saying as i've had it go off on the phone too, but i was just on to mates so it's no worries.

As for farts i preffer to do a silent but deadly one :fart

guys, im going down to the circle bar right now and I'm going to beat some since into that godamn legendarylars. How dare he.

He will never make another farting banner again after I get through with him!!!

I will OWN him....I'm comming for you biatch!!

All of these supposed phone stories don't have the ring of truth. If you're going to make up stories, make them interesting.:2 cents:

PS- I hate that fucking banner. They say it's supposed to only do it on mouseover. I don't buy it. The fart and the shaking house are too well choreographed.

Personally, I surf with my speaker volume off so I never heard the fart. Yesterday someone else was using my computer and today, a telemarketer and me and probably the neighborhood heard it. It does get your attention, the telemarketer hung up so I like it.

I doubt if I would click on it though:)

:1orglaugh Please this has got to be made the official GFY credo. Chisel it in stone and put it up by the lady up top.


This place is the pit of humanity.
You can't get any lower than here.


bring a tear to your eye don't it.

Well you're dead wrong. I'm on the phone a lot and try to catch up on this board and many others while I talk on the phone to make my time more efficient.

I normally remember to turn the volume down since banners here have audio, but forgot to do it today when I hit GFY.

So Go Fuck Yourself ! :ak47:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

As a mainstream CEO, he OWNS me, :1orglaugh

And this is coming from someone who couldn't afford the .com domain to his empire.

hahaha

Pick it, pack it, fire it up, come aloooong
and take hits from the boooong
Put the blunt down just for a second
Don't get me wrong it's not a new method
Inhale, Exhale - just got a ounce in the mail
I like a blunt or a big fat cone
But my double barrel bong is gettin me stoned
I'm skill it, There's water inside don't spill it
It smells like shit on the carpet
Still it, goes down smooth when I get a clean hit
Of the skunky funky smelly green shit
Sing my song, puff all night long
As I take Hits from the bong...

Hits From The Bong y'all
Can I get a hit?

Let's smoke that bowl, hit the bong
And then take that finger off of that hole
Plug it, unplug it, don't straaaain
I love you Mary Jane
She never complains, when I hit Mary
With that flame, I light up the cherry
She's so good to me, when I pack a fresh bowl I clean the screen
Don't get me stirred up the smoke, through the bub-bling water
Is Makin' it pure so I got ta', take my hit and hold it
Just like Chong, I hit the bowl and I reload it
Get my four-footer and bring it on...
As I take Hits from the bong

I remember talking about this quite a while back wondering just how invasive banners would get and when they would just start playing sounds on their own without you having to mouse over and when people would get tired of it.

I had the same thing happen to me while I was on the phone and that fucking thing went off, I didn't know what to say either and I know they heard it without a doubt. I wouldn't click it, it's bad biz and it seems to me that it's all the 19 year old college kids that are here for the free porn and usually drunk or high that like it.

:321GFY

that banner is wack!

i either have to put the mute on my volume control or close the page as soon as those fucking sounds start coming out of my computer.

bad idea!

actually, that fart banner is annoying!!:Graucho

IT is fucking annoying, and it obliged me to close my sound when i come. If i want to watch wacky fucking farting humor, i will go watch South Park-Clarence and Patrick, not a stupid banner.

FART BANNER =

its very annoying when your listening to an album with winamp then you hear that shit.

Dare I say perhaps him and half the others here are here for the free porn, drama and fart banner type humor and not biz.

:glugglug

what banner?

Well I would say good marketing, but I CANT STAND IT!

Just look at all the threads on the banner?
The Clicks probally tripled!

I don't even need to read the rest of the thread. :thumbsup

Here is something interesting. I hate the stupid thing. But this is what it does, it makes us hit F5, refreshing the site, totally ignoring the banner. But hitting F5 brings up a new banner! Could it be a scam to increase CPM????

For me, it's not "wouldn't be motivated" it's damned if I ever would. Same goes with a comapny who took over the whole board and was in every 3rd post.

Same as "cockholster" bullshit. Are women "Slutty little cockholsters"? Fuck that.

That's funny as hell man :) Sorry. On another note.. "farts to sell things", ya, someone should win the marketing award for that one. :1orglaugh

I doubt the clicks trippled, more like the refreshes trippled. :2 cents:
