Will ebikebay.com ever be dropped from the list of advertisers,it must be well over 18 months since the site was functioning now,if this were the first link followed from this site it may well be the last.

I didn't know it was there!

I am completely impervious to internet advertising and literally never even see it, so when anyone draws attention to it I'm always taken aback.

I was surprise to learn recently that internet advertising has taken over from TV and newspaper advertising in volume, since if many are like me, the advertisers are completely wasting their money.

I too never look at the ads. In fact I completely remove them using Firefox Ad-Blocker and the likes. :D

I used too think that untill I saw Derren Brown in action on TV. They're certainly wasting their time with us because we already have E-Bikes but there's lots of other potential buyers checking the site out.
If I was an e-bike manufacturer I'd advertise on this site.

I'm just dead to internet advertising on all subjects, just as I am to Derren Brown and his ilk. On TV where advertising does sometimes attract my attention by it's constant repetition, it often has the effect of making me deliberately avoid those products since I know how much the advertising adds to the cost. VW very long ago admitted to well over £1000 per car in the UK.

Ssshh. Don't tell the advertisers you don't read their ads! - presumably they're helping to pay for this forum?

I always read the ads and buy lots of their products and wouldn't otherwise do so if they stopped advertising! ;)

So you're saying that unlike everybody else, you're completely impervious to subliminal suggestion? I DON'T BELIEVE IT :)

I once read that anybody could be convinced of anything, if subject to the correct stimulus, within three days (took about a week for that to sink in though...:D ).
