Craig, see my other email, but here's a simpler explanation.
Quite simply, how many people do you think look at those comments?
The answer is a dismal amount .. it's a non starter.
Your REACH is the number of people that look at it .. your number of
impressions.
Basically "no-one" looks at those comments, it doesn't work.
I didn't get one percent "response", I was able to establish (through
careful checking) that only one person even happened to see the
("secret') message.
Actually, I got paid a lot of $ to do that test by a party --- the
interest in reaching e-gold users, by potential EREs, is substantial,
surprising, and I think, flattering to the e-gold system and e-gold
users.
There is powerful interest out there among
above-cottage-industry-level enterprises to be a part of e-gold.
I think that's great, I celebrate it.
(But patently, amex or walmart aren't going to get into e-gold in a
big way because they can reach users through .. putting a message in
the 'message' field of a spend! :) )
You may think I was being a smart arse about the 50kg reward, and
sure that's an exaggeration, but even I'd pay (and I'm just a fucking
clown), oh, I dunno, $3 per user, say, to reach active e-gold users
for _Bananagold_ -- tonight.
Serious companies would pay much more .. $10 to $20 is my estimate.
If e-gold decides to take a "Viking" approach and maintain the
non-addyness of e-gold as a spend system, fine.
Some other method for reacing them (a magazine or whatever?) would do the job.
Anyway, this topic is boring now.
Screw e-gold. Wake me up when there's one (1) serious
non-cottage-industry e-gold related enterprise.
