Fine line of advertising and branding.... say you set a budget of $10K on board advertising.. you could hire 1 hot ass chick for $4k per month to sit and post all day at those boards... and flirt with the hardons who die for any online chicks attention.. throw on a free button.. and you've just branded yourself and advertised yourself all over... and the funny part is.. they have to know nothing about your business.. just how much weed costs.. what celeb has the best physique... and are these pics of Britney Spears real or fake...
hell she doesn't even have to be hot.. just make an avatar so people thinks she is hot...

Gregtx, go and read the first thread from UnderMySpell. Living proof that hiring a bimbo who doesn't understand your business will eventually do you more harm than good - although she will definately be busy posting photos of her tits because everyone loves fresh meat - but the kind of webmasters who make business choices regarding their traffic based on breasts are not really the kind of webmasters who are going to make your program successful.
Unfortunately most webmaster resources are too stupid to realize their rules make it more viable for a program owner to hire a board whore to sit around and post on every board with a signature than it is to advertise. I liked the old oprano rules of no signature unless you had a link back. It made the banners worth something - now, they are a waste of money as the signatures of all posters are becoming so big.
