Webmaster-Talk.com is still an alternative Marketplace. Our listings don't get displayed on their website and our Marketplace is pretty active. In fact they may be a little more active than before we started adding the Syndicated listings.

So in other words, you don't like the fact that we have syndicated links to a community you no longer like because they started charging for listings.
That's fair enough. I don't like paying for things either. But they are running a business and their paid marketplace is still very, very active (albeit DP is kicking everyone's butt now).
Is the simple act that we link out to a forum you don't like reason enough to have you leave WT? I hope not. We not only don't charge for listings in our marketplace, we also share ad revenue. Webmaster-Talk.com is 100% free and then some.

Sure we might lose a few members and posts but it goes both ways. Everyone who buys a listing in SP's paid marketplace (which is still very active) sees a link to our free marketplace. Than can syndicate the SP thread here or just add a new thread to our forums themselves.
Again, I am sorry you don't like us linking to SP listings but at this moment I don't have plans to remove them. |
