looks like they need you more than you need them.

i keep getting spam emails at work from ... myself. 

i am trying to sell myself viagra.. apparently.

how do they do that ?

[Baramundi Bob]

They mine information from your pc and from the sites you join. Usually best to give away little personal info and join forums etc with a seperate email address - if they will let you. No worries with this site though, all your info is very secure and we abide by the data protection act

Those stats are pretty shat for a company the size of Bauer (used to be IPC). Their magazines have never managed to get a decent online presence but I suppose the day there's more content on their sites than their magazines will be a bad one for them as their advertisers will either move online or at least make their budgets subject to a 'media split' which could potentially have a massive impact on the ad revenue from the glossies.

[Baramundi Bob]

Online and Offline are 2 very different formats. These magazines think they will arrive online and get themselves a presence over night, but it aint quite that simple.

On a slightly different subject - Advertising on websites is fine especially if the webmaster knows the the score but - Beware advertising on line with sites who advertise paid links publically  Google watches like a hawk and they can cause your site more harm than good. Seek expert SEO advice before paying anyone for a link. The Official Word.

Too true Glenn, and do you think they want to pay the contributors twice??- I think not.
We've had dealings with shady types offering 'backlinks' and links within blogs for money- as you imagine they were shot down into a sea of doggy do doe before too long.

[Baramundi Bob]

Who ever it was checking out our alexa ranking, if your interested in our site stats just ask and Ill give you the google analytics details  They paint a far more reliable picture, we don't sell links here though - you can have a link free of charge.

Justs shows that other webmasters are keeping an eye on us.
