    MarkG IS into Marketing -- this site, to us and his advertisers. (BTW, I noticed it didn't take long for the newsletter to become sponsored. Every little bit helps, eh Markos?)

    ...and damned good at it.

      Markos could earn pretty well if he set the Ultra special style as mandatory for everyone - if 1000 users visit Apolyton in a day, that's a dollar.

          There's no point in using ULTRA if you receive 3 or 4 popups in 5 minutes as I did when I tried it

          I would have paid for the site in popups if I used it long enough. As it is, in default, I still manage about 5-7 popups a week!

          I noticed it didn't take long for the newsletter to become sponsored.

                Yep. I just spent a wee bit of time looking at the "Classmates" pop-up ad and now I'm off to browse ad-free for six hours or until I try to follow a link to another site.

                  You fools, don't you realize that once we start accepting pop-ups every 6 hours, soon we will accept them every 4, then every 2, then before too long constantly? End the madness here.

                    How about ultra-heavy setting? You could see mostly banners (like 6 banners per page)?

                      I was ultra, but I came back to default to see the lovely ads Apoliton is having lately.

                        With the new Apolyton Directory, I don't have to change my Ultra style anymore, because in the AD I can see those banners.
                        I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                              The way I understand it, pop-ups automatically generate income, whether or not you click on them.
