Maybe, I'm just not rational at the moment (hit yet another road block trying to get my car fixed and I'm fit to be tied. Literally...), but the purpose of the GGC program was to be something similar to a Good Housekeeping seal of approval or Better Business Bureau wall plaque that would be displayed on or in a person's business. If they don't have a website, are they even really a business in any sense of the word for the PURPOSES of promoting INTERNET business? Does it make any sense at all to offer this to everyone just producing a handful of animals once a year and really not any sort of "business" entity at all?
There is a tradeoff implicit in this program in that a BUSINESS can display their certificate on their website for visitors to their website to make note of, and in that fashion hopefully feel a bit more comfortable about doing business with them. The emphasis is on BUSINESS, as you can see. In return, that certificate helps bring people to this site to view the information resident in the polls about that business and perhaps even register here and possibly become an active member. Which, I believe, helps EVERYONE here. This is also beneficial in that people visiting this site can view those certificate entries and potential use that form of advertising by those businesses to then visit their website with the intention of possibly doing business with them based on the feedback they see in the polls.
Quite honestly, without the business websites being in the equation to sport those certificate banners on, I really don't see the sense of running this program. It just becomes a one way street that, in my opinion, negates he real usefulness that I envisioned from it.
So what am I missing here? Am I just overlooking something that is obvious to others about how I wanted this to work?
