Correct.
In all other business areas (arenas) if you want to promote your business
*YOU* have to pay, eg functions, snail mail, tv ads, ANY other type of
advertising .... you name it.
BUT the internet, hence we have TOTALLY over blown and over the top
webpages as the person hosting the page does not need to pay, the one
clicking does.
Could you imagine what it would be like if I had to pay for
the phone call I *GET*?
