not gonna trash up that thread anymore ...
More exposure does not mean more money if no one goes to the site... and that's why they want you to go to the site, so they can get more of both.
Like I said it's a catch 22... which happens first the chicken or the egg?
Your arguing a good article will get more people to his site.... which is not always true. Other article on here are good but I don't always click the links when I don't have to. I clicked this link to see the article and they got an extra counting on who viewed it which makes them more money.
Those other good article, that I didn't click the link to didn't get any money from me reading it.

If the article wasn't have been posted here, would you have known about it?
Did you used to frequent a website and do so no longer because some of the articles are shared here?
When you folks post articles here, often times that's the first time I've heard of the site. I'll check it out from time to time and see how it is, etc ... if you didn't share it, I'd have never known about it. That's where the exposure I'm referring to comes in.
Ad revenue only kicks in when someone on the source site CLICKS one of the ad's, not simply the source site itself. At least, that's how Google explained it to me and the countless folks who keep asking to advertise on our little known website here.
Bah shit ... gotta go to a meeting ... I'll add more and make more sense out of what I'm saying later.
