In a world with organized search capabilities and teleports, how is a billboard that most people going to ignore going to be effective at advertising in the purest sense? The only thing it is effective at is riling up the neighbors.

Under the um... circumstances I can understand a fair amount of misunderstanding. Really didn't think this thread was going to keep running this long though! Have slept 8 hours and done a days work to get back to this! Wow! _____________________

hey look the trolls ran away.... smells funny here now.... LOL
I am outtie, I am bored with you Trolls. haha, I know I am right. You just dont want ads, which is what advertisers do, call it wat you want, Im not interested inthe few dimwits that cant figure out how to collectively peel a potato. LOL... I have explained in plain English and definitions not to mention ToC.... washing hands.... getting them dirty again counting my money..... LOL there are more intelligent people in SL that actually matter that will listen and work toward better undstanding for both parties involved here.... so you can all pat yourselves on the back and provide the disillusional info to you dull peers as well, the rest of us are actually going to work it out professionally and like adults... cya |

I dont cut land I dont sell land unless I have got a better location in the same sim, i sell for under 5k if I do I dont spin ads I dont run bots I dont run laggy scripts Do you: Have garish full-bright textures floating unsuspended in the air? Do your signs cycle through a set of ad textures like a slide show? It's kind of you to work with your neighbors to come to some agreement, but you have to understand that you (or some other advertiser) showing up as a neighbor unexpectedly is as unwelcome as getting email spam every day. And the fact that no one can do much of anything about it only compounds the frustration. So, take your profits and enjoy them, your customers obviously value your service, your victims, however, are unlike to ever be happy with you unless you share your profits with them... and even that may not be enough to make you a welcome member of their neighborhood. All stuff I'm sure you're already aware of. |

Fluf, if you are not an alt of the ad cutter, I apologize. My suspicion of that came when she said the OP had deleted her first post. The only way that could happen would be, if they were the same person and they forgot who they were logged in as... Just speculating though. |

First there was this...
This is the last post I think simply because of the lack of intelligence and understanding in this forum. Now there is this... I am outtie, I am bored with you Trolls. How many times will you be coming back to tell us this is your last post? |

No there is an intelligent person.... Yes I am aware. I do my best, I dont cycle ads, they dont work as well as 24 hr coverage, i tested the theory myself. I understand that there is some tension. Eventually advertisers will have ads in mainly commercial areas, I know I strive for it, or alonng an empty field. But I do not want to get into it anymore, I am tired of the Trolls. I try my best to run a good ad business. I work on ideas that I can use to advertise that are not as unwelcome. These things take time.
Its a shame that a good many of shameless aholes are extorting people with 16's. I do not.. tho in the past have hammer a few simply because of their impudent behaviour I assure you its not the norm. Everyone needs to realize that there are some advertisers out there that are actually trying to do something. Its going to take time.... but I feel confident that people will see change in the next yr or yr and a bit. There isnt much else to say |

oh and Fluffy, he isnt my alt, I was posting in a similar post, more professional than this one but very similar... Fluffy so it seems is either playing coy about his actually sum of experience in SL or is just Trolling.

I do not know if you are an ad farmer or if you simply sell legitimate advertisements on the side of buildings. I haven't taken the time or effort to go in world to locate any of your ads and therefore did not feel confident in judging either way. I have felt confident in judging your posts. That gives me a clear judgment about you regardless of how you run your business in SL. A good business person would retort in a professional manner. Any good business person I know, if they felt the argument was hopeless and a waste of their time, would simply do the smart thing and walk away. |

In a world with organized search capabilities and teleports, how is a billboard that most people going to ignore going to be effective at advertising in the purest sense? I've wondered about this since I moved away from my last, blighted view. I suppose the ad buyers would have to be getting some upswing in business or they wouldn't keep putting money into it. EDIT: And as for garum and liquamen, I think I'd actually try them given the opportunity. I do some Thai cooking and have never had a problem with that kind of fish sauce. |

It's because ads can encourage people to search for your business by name, thus making sure you appear at the top of the search. |

Especially when they make a Linden Road look like the Red Sea parted and left behind a ton of multicolored shit. _____________________

Probably gonna regret going back on-topic.I'm getting this really strong vibe that this is an adfarmer who somehow really doesn't understand that what she does is adfarming (as opposed to adcutting), and that genuinely doesn't see what was wrong with particle-spamming a sim as long as it may have gotten removed a stray prim encroaching her adplot from an adjacent abandoned parcel. I sense she honestly believes that she's trying to be the "good advertiser." There's usually a reason for living in denial, and a cause for always feeling persecuted. It's not our place to fill-in the RL backstory here, but I'm guessing it's not a happy one. I don't know that the problem behaviors are accessible to education or reasoned argument, but I'm pretty sure ridicule isn't going to help. I agree Qie. She/he just doesn't get it and although what she does creates a negative response here and inworld and although whoever buys the ads gets lots of negative publicity, she doesn't get it. Sort of like the email spammers...anything as long as it makes money. We are either marks to these people or wrong to not want them invading our lives. |
