Im wondering who the hell uses and downloads this crap?
these people are surely spending alot of money for something
I don't seem to find user friendly and barely see images of theirs

I always thought the same thing, I'm just assuming people know its like adware, spammy toolbar stuff.. Just because it's advertise doesn't mean people use it I guess. I think they're in partnership with that emoticon thing too. Smiley Central, It's just commercialized crap. :(

i have them blocked on VC. I don't use them and don't really see them on MS....maybe they are more popular on other SNs

i just started using webfetti ads on my site today, through neverblueads, they seem to be paying ok so far.

i hate the passionup.com ad on adsense... it's so ugly.

I block them in adsense too, and also other IAC sites such as Zwinky.com.

Ehhh I think if you look at the logs in your web stats you will notice a ton of people have installed their adware toolbar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FunWebProducts)! (any entry that mentions FunWebProducts)

They more or less use kids as a trojan horse to get their toolbar installed, by targetting them using products such as Zwinky, or previously, SmileyCentral.

They then capitalise on revenue from searchs with it, and most likely data mining, whether the user is a child or, the unwitting adult who now has the toolbar on their family PC they use to order online.

Nothing criminally wrong with it, but a pretty slimey business model all the same, as far as they go.

Crappy. They don't pay much at all from my experience.

I blocked all those "fetti" sites back in August, they weren't doing well for me.

Should you think consciously when monetizing your site? Aren't we here to make money? If Never ads is going to pay you 2.60 per sign up, why not?

Yeah, they do fine for me on neverblueads, but maybe I need to take another look at the slime factor.
