Thread: This isn't an "Article" it's an Advertisment.

Yes, you're correct.

It's a great book, 383 pages and well worth the $39.00

Plus, you get 3 extra bonus articles, and much more.

If you want a sample of Tom's work go here and download the FREE ebook, also I am now posting some of Tom's full length articles on the main site, there is one up now and I have another that will be up August 1.

I found it clever, but damn annoying.

Yea, just offering the suggestion that posing the advertisement as an 'Article' is frustrating to his viewers.

I guess....

Realize these people pay for forums out of thier own pocket, minus what small amounts advertising pays back.

I know a guy who gets a DISCOUNT service (text transfer alone is 4GB a day compressed, from 15GB not compressed - binary has to be at least that much, lots of pix), he pays roughly $900 a month out of his OWN POCKET to run the site, he is running a new bunch of hardware that cost about $6,000 to put together, previous setup probably cost the same when he put those 6 servers together. 22 years old, pays for the whole thing out of his own pocket.

In short, its not our site, we either like it and stay, or we dont.

I help run a site with 40k+ members that averages 5-6M impressions a month. I know of the cost of running a site.

I was merely suggesting the fact that an advertisment posed as an article wasn't good practice.

Just tried to help. I hope prince can understand where I am coming from, no hard feelings.

I'm sure any and all feedback is welcome

Almost all advertisements it seems like in the magazines are "this way" (BB wise anyway), 5 page ad full color telling you about thier breakthrough new product yada yada. If there is actual science behind it I dont mind, but all too often people use the guise of science to show bias towards unlrealistic outcomes.

PIF?

well, maybe not enlightened, but it is a good book, and it makes a lot of sense.

BTW, what's "PIF"?

Program Information File? I dont know what it might mean in internet chat...
