Re: iboats' one-time SS prop sale - Huge Savings!
Well, iboats.com is FULL of advertising where they are benefiting from. As an owner of SEVERAL websites, I have an explaination..<br /><br />What the forums does (from a marketing perspective)<br /><br />1. Keeps you on the site, the more you are looking around, the more of a chance you will buy something. <br /><br />2. Get your target market EXACTLY on the head.<br /><br />3. Be able to discuss problems, issues, comments or whatever fellow boaters have(target audience)<br /><br />Now from a website owner's perspective...<br /><br />You have the right to do whatever you want to the site. You want to plaster spam on something all over the site, you can.<br /><br />Now, on the same note, you should follow your own rules. You say, " No For Sale items in any forum EXCEPT the For Sale/Trade Only forums" You better follow those otherwise you will get chewed out like in this thread. <br /><br />Its called Net etiquette.<br /><br />I am not going to take either side, but Admin5 did plaster in almost every forum about this deal. That's a NO-NO.<br /><br />my $.02
