Search Engine Optimization - I need your help

[Don Patrick]

BAH! Market, schmarket. Let me tell you something about the "marketing" rumors around here. People don't want to conform to the forum rules and they get their noses out of joint because we won't conform our rules to them. So, they try to point their dirty little fingers at this site by complaining about something. Apparently since there's nothing else they can find to gripe about, they gripe about us trying to pay the overhead. They apparently don't see the commercials on television, or hear them on radio, or see the billboards on the roads, or the ads in the newspapers. It's just Hank and the rest of us that are the evil monetizers. Whatever... I wonder how Avonlea would feel if he ran into a forum that charges its members for premium forum access. We don't charge our members a single cent and he's griping about that, so how would he feel about the other? Boggles the mind, doesn't it?

There are those individuals that build up and there are those that tear down. <shrug> I don't need to point my fingers, you can sort the players by the fruit they bear.

I guess I should have spoke in better terms. When I say market - I meant spreading the knowledge and traditions concerning kilts. You seem to be doing an exceptional fine job of it. How will the lowlanders know if they don't find their way to the fountain. I come from the academic side of the community (Texas A&M) - where knowledge is susposed to be more important than money.

I don't know Avonlea - but I guess there will always be a sour grape in any group.
