Was it a Yahoo group? That's what Yahoo does. I completely disagree with that form of advertising. When I go to a website, I hate in-your-face, flashy, click-me-now ads. I refuse to make my visitors put up with it. Besides the annoyance factor, I can't possibly see how it promotes growth. If anything, would it not scare people away?
My strategy is quality. I was actually thinking of making a page here that explains my intentions and philosophy on creating a great website. Style, consistancy, online etiquitte... they're extremely important to me.
