When do you stop advertising? - Page 2

Hooper · 06-22-2003

We started advertising with one board during it's peak several years ago.... things started slowing down.. and i pulled the ad. Saw absolutely no decline in biz at all as a result. What made me pull the ads was simply that i found the place to be boring and I stopped visiting as obsessively.

Now I'm seeing the exact same thing happen on another board... used to be semi-interesting conversations.. now it largely seems like complete idiots talking about the dumbest things I can imagine... so i stop visiting hourly.. start visiting 1 or 2 times daily... and over the past week or so i find myself visiting 1 time daily if i'm lucky.

Am i just super capable of predicting the demise of a board and using my personal interest in that board as an indicator of it's effectiveness as an ad tool? Or am i just missing some "branding" and "eyeballs" point?

Obviously the webmaster "hangout" is always evolving... what do you think? Who's up? who's down? who's totally dead?
