What became of that really-neat "paws island" pretend-place for kids? It was excellent! Now it seems to have been removed from The Cat Site. Why? And where is it now?

Well... I'm glad someone is taking notice of the banner ads
That's all it was - it was never a part of this site. I can have it back on - it's just that it had low click through rates and didn't make me any money at all. I can get it up for you if you want (doesn't really matter - as none of the ads are making me any money
)

. . . .I knew it was in the banner, of course; and it was such a relief to see something in an inter-net banner that wasn't tacky! It sure added a touch of class, in my opinion.

So, if it can't be in the banner, can't it at least have some front-page space? It's surely worth it, I would think; at least as much as Emazing (if you know what I mean).

I don't think advertisers have a clue what they're pushing, anyway. It's all this "click through" mania, with no view as to the worth of what's being "clicked through" to. I've only "clicked through" to one advert on the inter-net: the one that was here and is now gone.

Who are the people who "click through" inter-net banner or pop-up ads anyway? I surely don't, nor can I imagine ever doing so, because they're all so tacky. I pay good money for inter-net access and I'm interested in information, not hype.

It's unfair for advertisers to want more than the exposure banner placement gives them. I suppose those same advertisers would want people to pull over to the side of the highway and "click through" the billboards! Greed, greed, greed!

What was it about anyway? See, I never clicked through...


Anyway, I've just turned it back on specially for you... so you should be able to see every now and then.

TheCatSite.com - the site that listens


By the way, Emazing is there because I have a signed contract with them about this. I write their cat tips and they publish a link back to my site with every tip. PArt of the deal is there sign-in box on the main page.

It'll be there for the next 2 months or so, and them I will be looking for a paying sponsor to put there.

Anne, thank you so much for putting Paw Island back on the map! Check it out. I think you'll like it, too. Would that there was some way to get kids dialed into Paw Island.

Please accept my gratitude for what you've done: You created a web site that is second to none; and the fact that you're willing to listen to my ravings indicates you've the patience of Job!
