What many people don't realize that, just as there are commercials on television, there are commercials on the internet. Just as TV shows generate income from 'sponsorships' which are in the form of commercials, internet websites such as Rootsweb, Ancestry, and a billion other sites, are funded by sponsorships, which pay good money to have their ads embedded on these websites, or within the emails that are generated from these website. Haven't you ever wondered why there's so much discussion as to the millions of dollars that companies pay to the networks and the NFL, just for a 30 second commercial during the Super Bowl? It's because the Super Bowl is generally the single most watched event of the year, and that 30 second commercial is the most effective way to let everyone know about a companies product. The bottom line is this, commercialism is something that has been on the internet for as long as the internet has been around, and it'll still be here when we're all dead and gone. Very few websites can function without them, unless they're supported by a silent partner who doesn't require the vanity of having their name promoted to the general public. Almost every website and email generated has some form of sponsorship ad in them, and don't expect it to change in our lifetime, so if you don't like it, you can either not pay attention to it, get rid of your computer or make a better offer to the companies who rely on the revenue. :-) Darrell (The Preceding Message has been brought to you from the "Elect Darrell Waddell as Emperor of America" campaign) ----- Original Message ----- From: PBurne1063@aol.com To: MoneeBaggs@aol.com ; tnclaibo-l@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 5:48 PM Subject: Re: [TNCLAIBO] Bad Postings Since I'm the one accused of "BAD Postings", I checked in the archives and the three things I posted on 3/22 (2) were postings concerning the Cemetery Association and one was a posting concerning the new obit search for Monroe, Michigan.
