Why don't you answer all the questions to STFU me?

farwest101 asked: >>>>>>have you seen rates per view/click/conversion change significantly in any direction in the past three months, for example?

You responded (thank you!) with:

My eRPM was higher for each of the first 6 months of this year than for each of the last 6 months of 2013. July was lower. There's a lot which goes into eRPM numbers, more than just, "the industry has tanked."


I made the claim BA ad revenue was down. Thank you for confirming that! My claim was not erroneous so please do not call me a liar, thank you! I think it would also be enlightening to the crowd to hear how much of a hit % it was! But I never asked you that and I don't expect you to answer it when you blow off MY actual questions! Anyways, I hope August is better for all at BA!

Next...I asked you and you chose to ignore me again:

>>>>>>>>>Are you upset a little bit about the BA ad revenue drop and how BA has handled it?

You produced an impressive list of some BA blog number of posts going back three months. This would make more sense if you compare it to an earlier three month period. Or, even better, compared it to a specific time period, say July and after (when the ad revenue drop occurred according to you) vs June and earlier! Something I can never do as my techie abilities are limited to cut and paste and I just have to go by my eyes and hunches, sorry no interns and templates involved in my joke of a site (fully disclosed up on top of the specific blog post!).

Also the point kokonutz states is VERY important! "both of those blogs have gotten very clever about publishing a title and a couple paragraphs about an issue whose solution and/or conclusion is that a credit card sign up is the answer...and here is my affiliate link."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I'm still waiting to see evidence of anything other than your hunches that these changes have actually occurred. I've provided details and facts.

Thank you for confirming the BA revenue drop is NOT an erroneous claim. Sorry I could not resist

I go by my hunches ever since I started my joke of a site on November 9, 2012 that I see more posts lately in BA and more credit card links certainly. I inferred that may be due to the BA ad revenue drop. It makes sense to me and I think it is true. Of course not many of you in BA will admit to that (yes TBB I use more cc links lol). It would be great to see how many cc links made their way into blog posts after July vs pre July! But I don't have a template for that and I sure have wasted enough time here nitpicking words with you.

How does all this make me a liar and I should have my character questioned is beyond me. I can understand this stuff coming from Delta Points (who bizarrely think my Amazon shilling is worse than all BA blog cc shilling combined ...!!!!!!) but not from you who I proudly have in the list of blogs I like and always respected. I know you like to be a little combative online and picking fights and choosing this issue to bash me after almost 2 years of blogging and more years of knowing you is, well, a badge of honor for me I guess

Let's enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend, shall we? Summer is almost over!
