I genuinely think most people feel the same way, or would if they were aware of the issue. It would be interesting to put up a poll to see how many folks agree. hmmm . . .

Definitely e-real estate, or even e-estate, but it's still most certainly real. :) And it is a MAJOR investment of time and effort--it's so critical to be aware of everything you put on your site and whether it has a good reason to be there. So much better for all to generate love first, money second. Hi Sharon,

You have to really think about how much revenue you can generate when you allocate that much space on your site. My take.... you're probably better off putting something else that will generate you more luv and money. <em>Sharon's last blog post..<a href='http://www.thebikinibodydiet.com/2008/01/dc-ranch-village-health-club-spa-twists-with-chocolate-yoga-class.html'>DC Ranch Village Health Club & Spa Twists with Chocolate Yoga Class</a></em> I’m a big believer that my sites are a piece of real estate.

I think a lot of folks are seriously considering these ads for their sites. If you can believe the guy marketing the program, they have received 14 million signups from various web sites so far. I think a lot of site owners are blinded by dollar signs, but I suspect they won't make nearly as much as they think, and after that first affiliate check comes through, they'll also see their bounce rate skyrocket and their return visit stats plummet. It will be very interesting to see how this pans out. kexbrown, thanks for your feedback and thoughtful reply. I think a lot of folks are seriously considering these ads for their sites.

I wake up early to get all my work done each day. So, the rest of my family is asleep. Then I will reach a page with an audio ad and it comes blaring out at me. There is nothing you can do to stop it. By the time you can find the mute or volume control it is off. But, it wakes the dog and the rest of the family. I say one way to put an end to it is to stop visiting sites that have it. Soon, those sites will have to decide if they want traffic or money. I have decided against putting it on my website, though to be totally honest, I did consider it for the payout! <em>kexbrown's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/YouCanLearnSeries--KennosBlog/~3/221719066/Eight-Traffic-Generators-I-Cant-Live-Without.aspx'>8 Blog Traffic Generators I Can't Live Without</a></em> I think these audio ads are evil.
