Here is a thought from a business perspective (I make some marketing decisions in my job): Companies that advertise like to put their money where it does some good. The first time I advertise I think "Is this going to reach the people who will buy my services." That one is easy. The second time I advertise I ask myself, "How much revenue did I make off this investment last time?" That is the big one. What is my point? I forget. Oh, wait, now I remember! If and when you buy products and services for your pond, remind them where you heard about them. And if you are in the market for Pond Services, at least take a look at the advertisers in the magazine and on the site. And that if we all blocked the pop-ups, no one would really be interested in investing any more advertising dollars into the beloved Pond Boss Site.
