mwa423 @insight.com	Re: This is all bull! The obvious selfish flaw in your statement is that you assume the developer has a product to sell besides the content you are viewing. For example, DSLR doesn't really have a product to sell besides the content. If you block the ads it has no other significant revenue source.

Re: This is all bull!

Actually DSLR/BBR makes money off of referrals on some of the carriers. Not all of the participate but most of the ones on the business/enterprise side do (i.e. for T1s and business DSL) and those sales pay exponentially more than the banner clicks. (Like $50-100 v/s $.05-.10.)

DSLR/BBR happily lets you turn off banners and such in your profile. Now if only every other website were so considerate of its users.
