Google, facebook and others sell players to the computer game industry. If you are want players to your new computer game just order 5000 players from one of these companies. They would charge USD 0.5 to 3 depending on how attractive your banner is. If you are running the gaming bussiness you would find that most new players will stay less then 5 minutes, only a small fraction will contribute to your bussiness..... This means "a few pennies everytime someone clicks" might actually be a few dollars everytime someone clicks. I assume it is very different for different kinds of AD links. 73 Leif My understanding is that Google gets a few pennies everytime someone clicks on the top AD links. |

Hi Bill :) ?Nah, I am broke just like everyone else.? I do have one of the first softrocks that I use on 40M wspr from time to time. The rest, well, I have some professional experience due to some friends in the data mining business. Many 73, Mike va3mw On Sun, Jul 23, 2017 at 1:16 PM, Bill Cromwell wrcromwell@...

Maybe there's only 100 or so of us who are really interested anymore. NotI'm interested in the posts that are not people drivelling on about how to solve problems with Windows sound drivers :-) I'd prefer plain-text emails to HTML, and I wouldn't follow the group across to a forum. I'm already on a forum - which is one that I run, which costs about 50 quid a year in servers and domain registration, is entirely secure, not spied on by the NSA, and not selling information to third parties. I find forums a total pain in the arse to use and prefer mailing lists. -- Gordonjcp MM0YEQ |

I suppose people could draw some conclusions merely from your presence on this list..whether or not the conclusions are correct. You must have enough income to buy theproducts associated with this list but maybe that is an incorrect conclusion. Perhaps I am just dreaming of the day I can buy a SoftRock :) I have some things I do not wish to share with others and those live on a computer(s) that do not see the internet and the internet does not see them. Your suggestions has a lot of merit. I am reinforcing it now. Keep your private things private..not on the net. 73, Bill KU8H On 07/23/2017 12:08 PM, Michael Walker va3mw@... [softrock40] wrote:

Alan I don't buy it.? Who is paying for their hardware, server time, power, cooling, etc? If Mark Fletcher is doing it out of the good of his heart, the question is why?? If it is truly free, then he is funding it until he can sell it to the next highest bidder.? That is way this works and lots of history on that. Hey claims that the business is self funding, but he won't answer where the money comes from.? That was asked in November 2016 and he has not replied. ? The do collect and share your meta data: Non-Identifiable Data:?When you interact with Groups.io through the Services, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information.

Groups.io may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. These guys are no different then any of the other 'free' services.? They make money by dealing with content that you supply them, even if it is MetaData.? And, don't kind yourself, even MetaData contains enough information to actually figure out who you are.? This has been proven in court in the US a few times. Personally, I'm not really fussed and I likely won't move unless I have a requirement to be there.? I will ?just likely search the forum and see if there is an answer for my problem or not, as it isn't my group.? However, if you believe that Google is the big bad person in this, they are all in bed together in their own way.? Content is king as they say. ?:) If you have time, read some of the Snowden documents.? If you don't, watch the movie on Netflix. ? If you own a computer and it is actually connected to the internet, you are always being tracked.? If you are seriously concerned about that, get off the net (as in no connection).? Don't own any phone and pay cash for everything. BTW, if you have ever been on a site and a popup comes up and says I see you are looking at this 'widget', can I help?? Well, there are tools used by the Amazon's of the world that actually 'watch' you navigate the store.? How long you stayed on a page, and every click you made within their store.? I've seen it in action.? Scary, isn't it.? I saw a sales presentation on it from another job I was in. Mike va3mw |

Re: Why not Google Community
It's the same guy that started what became Yahoo Groups, so I assume he invested his money wisely and has been supporting out of his own pocket, so to speak. Those that have chosen paying groups are helping to support it as well.

Mike, Strangely enough they are free. They say "A modern platform for online communities. Powerful management tools. Mobile ready. Free and paid plans. No ads, no tracking." But he does not say how it is funded.... 73 Alan G4ZFQ |
