OK, well I accept your correction, it sounds logical. The incentive program and ponzis are things I have never tried very hard to learn about. You have told me who does NOT benefit from the incentive program. It would be interesting to know who DOES benefit, for example what is the largest amount of gold earned through the referral program by a single account? Also I much appreciate your personal input JMR on this list. But that was not really the point I was making. You brought up the incentive program as an example of e-gold's efforts at marketing. And I said, well even if you have the greatest incentive program in the world, it is pretty lousy marketing to have *just* an incentive program (and no I haven't forgotten the car stickers either) The other thing is that confidence in the system is probably the biggest marketing hurdle of all, yet nobody from e-gold takes the time to answer questions on the subject and the audit on the site is well over a year old. I guess you could say I put a lot of blind faith in the system, but convincing others to do that is much harder. Yes it is criticism, please do not take it personally... it is designed to be helpful, and I assume obtaining views and feedback was one of the main reasons this list was set up. I got a lot of criticism from members of this list about our old website, made some new friends and learned a lot more about web design in the process, and the result is our new website which has already drawn a lot of positive comments.
