update to the latest version of adware and you'll find 40-50 more spywares...I did.
Is there something newer than the 6.0? That's what I'm using and I run it every night but all I ever find are dataminer things. I've never gotten an Alexa one. I also have all my pop-ups blocked, so maybe that's where yours are coming from?

Impressions, views, branding, being seen... even if you've got someone genuinely trying to be shitty rather than just funning around (like in this thread), you're still getting eyes on your banner. No PR is bad PR and all that.

There goes the popcorn I had planned.
children,
you don't know what board drama really is,
you are late to the table.
in the good old days, popcorn wasn't needed, every drama ended with fist full of dollars to all participants,
today sig whores are bought for a $ a dozen and pop corn is all one gets...
Originally posted by wyldblyss@Dec 29 2003, 09:56 PM Yep, late to the table for this type of drama but I have experienced plenty of other drama on the net.
The good ole days of efnet *sigh* brings me back to when each day was filled with drama and crisis and takeovers...damn....think I'm going to cry.
But...since we are on the subject...
Where can I download the adware you guys use? I use a different one and would like to compare the two of them.
Ad-Aware 6 http://www.lavasoftusa.com
Get the free personal version and then hit the Update button after you've installed it just to check. Be sure to customize it's search too if you have your program files or temp files on different partitions like I do.

I don't see why people get so wigged out over it. Its nice easy money. You're posting anyway. So knowing the register is ringing while your on posting is a nice extra.

The problem is it inspires people to post when they have nothing to say.
Originally posted by sarah_webinc@Dec 29 2003, 07:33 AM does the person selling their sig have to agree to some sort of conduct guidlines? I would hate to buy something one day and find out the person I paid went on a racist (for example) posting spree the next day with my company name sponsoring each post.
Lol- no shit. That is certainly something to consider. Also making sure they mean a certain criteria.
I would sell my sig to the right company at the right price. Maybe then I’d be more of a board whore.
I love Oprano but everyone has their price.

People who buy sigs for impressions are fools.
I click more sigs then I do banners. I'm just being honest. Banners are less personal. I don’t think I’d pay for a boring poster and let’s face it, 95% of the posters on the boards bore me to tears. Still, I find myself following threads of interesting people and enjoy reading what they have to say. Speak of that, where is Colin?
I enjoy the boards, really I do. I never spent much time in the past. My sites don’t really heavily promote an affiliate program and most of my revenue comes from private clients and consulting. None of them have asked for my sig or offered to pay me to post. If they made it worth my time I’d love to spend more time on the boards shooting the shit.

I think the flat fee is a fair deal. You can see who you're getting and what types of posts they usually make, and judge accordingly.
The pay-per-post though just invites BS to run up a bigger check. I hate to do this to Netpond, but this is a prime example... http://www.netpond.com/threaded/showthread...=&threadid=9321
When I looked two nights ago, the last 5 pages of posts were all made by one person. He's getting a nickel per post and at the time was averaging 100+ posts per day. Using such award-winning contributions as "your momma" jokes that he copy/pasted off the web.
The TCG ppp stuff increased this type of posting over at GFY. Rather than the normal 25 replies of you get 200 of them. And they're all getting paid per post.
In that situation, the advertiser is just losing money *and* causing discontempt for their company through sheer annoyance. I know that "any PR is good PR", but sometimes that just backfires on you.

If paid posters had impression tracking then I think there should be a quota on how many impressions they need to get per month or week. Then a random check to see what they are posting. Not paid per impression but knowing they must meet that quota. If they post interesting threads their views will be high. If not, they won't.
How do you find companies that pay for sigs and post?

I think the biggest pay per post on GFY is going to a flat rate, or so they mentioned in one of the threads.

Nobody with half a brain associates a newb with a banner as being bad for your site. How many idiots linked to them for free over the years.
Just anther thing to cry over for people with nothing better to do.
Right now the sig thing is like the wild west. Some sig whores are getting lucky and making a killing on thier sig. In a month or two you'll see the big sponsers looking at numbers and then will weed out the bads ones. I believe one guy got $2,000 for 3 months and he had only 1,700 posts. The reason why he got a killer deal was all his posts wr're real. No spaming or whoring out at all. sig whores who couldn't sale their sig that day to anyone took note.

I quoted you, not anyone else. I argued against what YOU said, not anyone else. Keep grasping though, it's fun.
Yes, and in your narrow-minded little quest to discredit me or whatever it is you're attempting to do, you insulted Billy, who had already posted in this thread saying that he associates sigs with the people who carry them.
Ooooooooopen your eyes. Pay attention. You'd be amazed what you can pick up when you stop obssessing over one thing or person.

I know this isnt the Bytebrothers Software support conference but Ill add that one spyware package doesnt get the job done.
Go get you a copy of Search and Destroy to go with it.
Whichever one of you was saying spyware is no big deal. Report back when your boxed is trojaned and owned.
Signatures used to be called taglines. When networking message bases each user had a tagline which he could select from a library of them in SLMR and each BBS appended its tagline to the post if exported out to identify the point of origin.
Not only was it branding for the sysop it was personalization for the poster.
Hellpuppy...whats Vostreys doing these days?
I think we need a copy of Onet to network all the resources together.
