Jack	Advertising on downloadable browser toolbars Posted: Sunday, June 25, 2006 10:59 AM (CST) Chris,   I don't think I would try this type of internet marketing until  I've had time to research it more thoroughly because it sounds awfully close to the spy-ware/ad-ware category of advertising. I would not try spamming thousands of people in the hopes of gaining a few customers.
Chris Cotter	Advertising on downloadable browser toolbars Posted: Sunday, June 25, 2006 12:48 PM (CST) My thoughts exactly - when I talked to company and others, checked out blogs - one guy blogged said he signed up for 10,000 clickthroughs, got the clicks but nobody signed up for his newsletter he was promoting.   I don't care if you are selling bumper stickers with the finger and (blank) you on it - you shove enough traffic through a website, someone is bound to take your offer - it is just the law of statistics. I bet this company selling clicks is using some form of bot or other tool to hijack browsers and skew the search results, etc. Sounds like a scam to me....   I agree, this form of advertising sounds fishy.....think we will hold off on this.   Thanks for your honesty and feedback - I knew you were the man to turn to to get the straight scoop for all things internet related.
