This is an example of how not to do marketing. I got up, started looking through the news items in BottomFeeder. I notice that there are new comments on my Good Sci Fi, Bad Sci Fi Post, so I have a look - and there's a comment advertisement for a bunch of clowns at a company called digiBlitz. Well, the bozo who left the comment - one Suresh Balabesigan - has guaranteed that if I ever have a need to recommend the kinds of services his company offers, his company will not be contacted. Here's a tip - if you want to advertise, it costs money. Here's another tip - you might notice that I'm not running ads on this site - which means that my level of tolerance for ad spam is going to be really, really low.
