First of all, I don't know pimpdog except by his posts on GFY. Suffice it to say that his methods of marketing his program very often fall short of my demographic by about 35 years.

Me too, and I'm not even 35 yet!
On a different board Trey asked once "if you don't promote EC, why not?" - quite a few folks stepped up and told him it was because of his uhh... "choice of marketing" tactics shall we say and the way he represented himself.
That was met with quite a few hearty laughs and more name-calling. Completely fell on deaf ears.

What he was pointing out is that you have no basis in fact for speculating on whether his business will be in trouble over the fact that he's been banned from GFY again. The mere fact that you would do so shows some pretty poor judgement.

Thanx PD....

It also points out Gorgon's thought process.. Usually if a person viewing a situation comes to a conclusion like that it merely reflects his own views of what he would do in that situation. So I believe that I am safe in assuming that if Gorogon was running a program and he got banned on GFY that he would turn the shave on high and then just take the money and run.

Also, Gorgon, if shaving was a reason to not do business with a sponsor, there would be no sponsors in business. I don't give a shit who says they don't shave. There is no sure, 100% accurate way to give credit for every hit/unique/sale coming to a site period. There is not a sponsor out there who is going to take the "unknowns" and give them to the benefit of the webmaster, they are going to keep them for themselves, to do anything else would be a stupid, detrimental way to do business. All sponsors shave, whether on purpose with a built in "shaving algorithm" or incidentally because of the inaccuracies of hit tracking on the net. If a sponsor's shave seems too high, if you know you can get a better buck for your traffic elsewhere, then you move the traffic elsewhere. You don't move the traffic away because they "MIGHT" turn up the shave, you wait for them to do it.
