Can't seem to reply in my own threads...

And i dont want any harsh feeling either, heck about 2 weeks ago I was planning on buying some corns from you. lol. And im not saying dont post your opinions on here, I thought it just came off harsh. I do try to works on my ads as best I can, but I dont have much to sell all I have is a boa to sell right now. lol.
Im young, and trying to soak up all of the information that I can get. I was just stating there was a loophole, but then from a different perspective, I see that this really just is agressive advertising.
I dont want any harsh feelings, and Ive said it before and will say it again, IMHO, this is the best site for reptiles out there, hands down, has already helped me so much, and I apoligize if I offended anybody at all.

I apologize for it coming off harsh. That was not my intent.

Sorry thats meant to say threads.

Glad everything worked out and were all at a cool understanding.

So with that behind us can we please let this thread die now?

I tend to agree that there should be a limit on number of ads someone is allowed to post per day. 3 or maybe 5 at the most. I'm not gonna complain though, I love this site and respect the owner and mods and the rules. I'm not afraid to post my opinion though ;-)

I think that reposting the same ads day after day gives off a vibe of desperation on the seller's part. I've been active in the online part of this business from the beginning and have never had a need to repost the same ads over and over. Please no one take offense (I don't mean it to be offensive!), it's just a different viewpoint.

I tend to dissagree. Does that make any business that has an active marketing campaign desperate? I think it means they are doing what needs to be done to keep their product in front of viewers and thus improving the probability of a sale.

Otherwise.... why would some of the big names in the product world (not necessarily herps) spend boookooos of money to advertise multiple spots during a specific time frame on the TV. They know thru research that is the time that most folks are liable to be watching TV. Does that make them desperate for sales. They are multi-million dollar companies

Using myself as an example.... I have not bumped my ads more than once a day and I dont really plan on bumping more than once a day. My goal is to keep my ads from getting burried. If I can keep it on page one... great. But I wont let it fall to page 15.

Well, that depends..... The constant bombardment of ads on TV has caused me to just stop watching TV completely. Seeing the same ad every 15 minutes just wore my very last nerve down to the breaking point. They should mix it up some. It can be the same company or same product, just use different ADs instead of the same one over and over again.

I guess it's a lot like when I was a kid. I LOVED marshmellow filled donuts. Until one day I ate too many of them and threw up. Yeah, my mom DID warn me! Never been able to even LOOK at one since then.

Just be careful you don't push the viewers into overdosing on your ads and having an incident of reverse paristalsis all over their keyboard.

Rich... I just recently reworked my whole website and because of that I had to delete all my ads due to linkage breaks while I was working on the site.

Now I COULD repost all of them at the same time... but Im not. I will spread it out over the course of several days. This keeps some of my ads on the front page at all times without hogging up the front page.

Even when I do bring my ads back to the front... I dont bring them all back. Just a few. My goal is to keep my name in front of folks without just dominating the front page. I think I still have around 40ish left to sale...so it would be possible if I posted every single snake in their own ad.

Then I'd have everyone screaming at me.... or .. .they'd be screaming at you about me

Ahh!!! More government!!! This is an Obamanation!!! haha
