Not to worry, rarely ever does Hibiscuy get mad, only once in a while, well most days with hubby, but I digress :clown: .
There is a lot to advertising that most younguns and people not in the business do not know and that is the alphabet approach. When in business you use the alphabet to list your business, you will come in, in that order. So go to a page for rentals in the yellow pages, notice how all the names are in alphabetical order, now look at the first few names, this is usually what you will see "AAA car rental company, or AA All Rental Car Co" u get the picture? If you want to be first thats how you place your ads. Now Carey started out with the name " mantispEts" notice how she comes before "mantispLace" . Get the picture? Now whether on purpose or not, the fact remains that her site comes first when searching in certain places, notice I said certain. She also started a mantis forum. Now for whatever reason, it is a little sad to think that she has a forum and on it asks for donations. Seems that one would rather make better choices so as to keep things statis quo and not upset the wagons that are already in the wagon train. Peter has a lot of forums he pays for, and has for years, he did not just start as he has been in business for years, but he did just start asking for donations and I know what we send him helps a tiny bit to pay for them, and I have tried to be a help by sending mantis and feeders to new supporters. This is in a way a two way street. I want to get the newbies addicted so they stay and help the forum out, cause u must admit, once you start talking here, and u are here a year, you see your name in green and suddenly is is plain, well u just gotta send in the funds to make it green again! I just think it is sad someone is trying to compete with him when there is little money in this economy now days to go around. So think what you will, but since the topics here have brought all this up, I felt it best to explain how some of us feels.
And for those of you who think we are mad at each other, we are to my knowledge not! :kiss:
