> So you accept advertizing. Any gold mine companies ? Not lately, they don't have any money. > Sounds like you are building a business using SI as a means to that end. My site has been around since July 1995, before most all gold sites and maybe even before SI ?? My goal was to be objective and comprehensive, including all gold related site regardless if I agreed with them or not. This was one of the reasons I did not post in SI back in the 1996-to-1998 timeframe, to avoid any conflicts, and because I thought gold was a bad investment. I had no advertising until May of 1997. When you start spending 2-3 hours per day on something, it is no longer a hobby. I grew it to where it is without posting on SI. I only starting posting again on SI around November 1999, and mostly to provide data like production, reserves, supply, demand, etc.. I do not say "please go to my site, here is the URL" I usually take the time to write an original post with some data and thoughts in it, then provide a URL for more info. It's easier than posting hundreds of lines of stuff. My post are often short (unlike this one) so they fit on one screen and you can quickly move to the next one if you are not interested.
