Steve selling a weight-loss spray now???

[Guest guest]

Steve, I was more than a little shocked to see that you are now selling/

endorsing some kinda weight-loss spray on your website. I recall that in

the Backpacker magazine article, you said that you won't " sell out " and

endorse products you don't use. So...um...how much weight have you lost

with the spray so far?

[Guest guest]

I think you are talking about the Google ads?? I don't think Steve has

control of what they advertise.

If you hit refresh you will notice that they change.

Actually the other person was referring to the spray ad on the homepage

of www.thefatmanwalking.com, which doesn't go away when you refresh.

Just because a person has an ad on their site does not mean that they

endorse it or even have control over what ad is there . Most of them are

automated to pick up key words from the page and that determins what ad is

placed on the web page.

Steve may or may not be receiving money for these ads. Maybe it is the web

host or someone else. Even if he is selling space on his site for money ...

so what? Isn't Steve entitled to some income for running a web page? I know

that with my blog I could put up google adwords to make some money, but I

choose not to. And by the way it does not mean he is endorsing or

selling the product. It is like selling space on a bus or a bilboard,

except in this case Steve would not have any control over what is put there.

I hope this has cleared some things up

I guess I am missing it. I have looked and looked and I don't see any ad

for spray.

Anyone else see it? All I see right now is an ad for GULF HURRICAIN RELIEF.

I just hope that no one thinks by my clarifing for what the other person was talking about that I wasn't attacking Steve for what was on the website. I personally could care less.

When you pull up the home page, it's just to the right of the journal.

Right

I've refreshed several times both last night and this morning and the

diet spray ad is always there. It sure comes across as Steve endorsing

this product!

[Guest guest]

OK so here is the deal about the ads. Web content costs money and my

site at one point reached 1 million hits a day. I think that is

great but the web hosting company freaked because it was costing

them too much money to provide the bandwith.

We had an agreement in place but they did not expect the volume that

my site generated. (By the way, Thanks for that) So in order for

them to keep the site up THEY placed google ads there to help offset

the cost until I go on this next journey. With Google ads you do not

decide what they advertise, instead the mix is generated by keywords

on the site like weightloss for example.

I have no affiliation with any of those advertisers, I do not

endorse their products and am not being paid anything from them. If

you want a free site then someone else has to pay the bill.

Everything costs something, a small price to pay I think.
