I was bit upset that any place I search up got false traffic. Now I look up places and they got real results of people being ACTIVE on that sim. Not cause they sit on their rear for whole night only to get $L10 or less. Camping is a scam. I get more lindens if I sell stuff, that I don't have to sit all day doing nothing for :)Nerxual Ohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00991917604708006808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041624883246722973.post-27257556983992202532009-05-29T03:39:14.758-07:002009-05-29T03:39:14.758-07:00I agree.

Also, perhaps some training to store operators on how to make their stores come up on searches that matter to them.Elaine Greywalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09490094339478164401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041624883246722973.post-17356739004107728922009-05-27T06:35:40.995-07:002009-05-27T06:35:40.995-07:00I have no head for business, Tenchi.
Maybe you ar...I have no head for business, Tenchi.<br /><br />Maybe you are correct. I would still prefer to see the traffic metrics changed to make bots and afk-campers useless at driving up traffic.<br /><br />That would end camping as we knew it, without such heavy-handed and sudden shifts by the Lab...oh, wait. That's the Tao of Linden in the M Linden era.

I was quite happy when the search criteria of popularity where not based on traffic anymore.<br /><br />2. camping locations promote one thing in first place ... zombies. People leave their avatars camping and are what not where.<br /><br />3. What you get is not worth it. The camping rates lately were 2/10 if you were lucky. Imagining what you pay to keep your machine online .... well do the maths for yourself.<br /><br />I don´t think that the loss of those camping chairs will affect small business owners. I think the direct opposite will be the case. Camping chairs are mainly employed by locations that already invest bucketloads of money into SL. Those locations are usually also that well known already that they will continue to generate enough traffic even though no camping chairs are there anymore. It may in fact get the people back into their orphaned avatars.<br /><br />The best way to promote businesses is still to have a good slx listing along with good freebies in lucky chairs. Those normally have a better effect since it draws active avatars. And that results in a guerilla marketing effect that could never be reached with camping in any way.Tenchi Morigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750808391441927605noreply@blogger.com
