I am insane for pointing this out? So it has been mentioned before....and? The title of this thread was " what would happen if the COOP went down. I am just giving my point of view. I am I stupid for that? So forgive me for not reading a zillion posts before hand. All I am saying is that this is too big for the Engines to ignore and yes sooner rather than later it will be taken out. You do not agree? If not please post a thread where you can justify why it would not instead. Keep it on topic.
>>Do you think you are the first one that has said this on the forum So other people said it? Were they all nuts too? Badmouthing this scheme here is like running into church and screaming profanities about god. Of course the scheme is there to fool the search engines. Would anyone pay to have their ad on an off-topic site? Of course not. It's algo rigging pure and simple.
Neither of you know what you are talking about, yet your mouths continue to run without any knowledge of what the co-op is, it is simply a barter of ads instead of an advertising network that you pay money to buy space in. Next thing you know both of you will be saying that Google will take out every website that sells advertising. Wake up, I know you guys are young, but since you can learn more with your ears instead of your mouths, I suggest that you keep your ears open and your mouths shut for your own good. You might be able to actually learn something that way.
" it is simply a barter of ads instead of an advertising network that you pay money to buy space in." Is that right, so i get 5 unrelated trash links in the footer of my page and that is mutual advertising? Why bring age into it old timer I been round a long time in internet years! Please educate me how these ads are beneficial
Sounds like you want dissenters to shut up because you don't like the notion being discussed. Maybe GoogleGuy is reading.....oh no! How about "welcome to the forums"? That was my first post.
Really Honz, no one here wants you in the co-op or on the forum for that matter, so why would we try to show you any benefits of being in the co-op? You are lucky that Shawn is not online right now or you may well have been banned for acting like an ass for the last two days. Why bring age into it? Because you both sound like you are 16 or under, neither of you have shown us your crappy websites either
Just one response to someone asked how you can catch sites which are members of the network. Here are 2 easy ways 1) find a site in the network and refresh the page 100,000 times. That should find most of the sites 2) Google could just join the network (under a pseudonym of course ) Why would they want to? Perhaps to make their results better? Advertisng: has anyone on the forums ever displayed their stats on how many clicks they received from the co-op network? I guess you can't. What kind of internet advertising cannot provide you stats on clickthroughs? Perhaps because nobody cares? Heaven forbid!
hey bro it takes all sorts in a democracy! I agree I am deliberately taking the proverbial piss to create good debate but it is funny how you know what I am saying is right but you pretend it is not. You are a seasoned poster by a mammoth amount of posts here, so I guess you are a seasoned webmaster too and understand link based algorythms. I know the benefits of the network. It is a mofo steam engine! What I am saying is that I would never put my pride and joy sites in here that have been around since 99 ( I am not 16) nor would I need to. The only thing I would put in is disposable domains. That is what I meant by crappy sites ( plus I cannot post until I get 10 posts )
Why not just change your user name to "Stupid Old Dog", that would be more descriptive of you PS: I know what you are saying is right HONZ? Dude you have to be one of the dumbest new members I have ever seen here and I have seen most of them that have come through here and most of them on the entire forum circuit. I can tell you that no one here wants you in the co-op or for that matter on the forum

>>Dude you have to be one of the dumbest new members I have ever seen here and I have seen most of them that have come through here and most of them on the entire forum circuit. Who you talking to me or both of us? For someone who regularly insults other peoples' intelligence you have shown remarkably little of your own.
anthonycea you are just plain nasty. Name calling and add nothing. You debate nothing and just say jerk. Now that is dumb.
Oh wonderful... another newcomer to the forum who thinks he's the master of witty repartee but in reality can't discern wit from plain old rudeness... Where do these people drag themselves in from?
I don't know there is a 3 way tie for biggest dummy on the forum circuit going on between you two and that "cooperman" kid. Be sure that you guys will come in 1st, 2nd and 3rd though, rest assured of that Are you guy triplets or something
How about some debate? ( I agree, I was rude earlier to wendydettmer) and minstrel that was a cheap laugh. BTW should shave off that beard. Looks like you got a few stray ones poking out your nose too.
another wonderful bit of wit... no more calls, please... we have a winner... and he's a Mensa candidate
