HITS!*

Thats right dude! HITS!

Its HITS that keeps all them sponsors flying their logos and links
at the top of this very OFL page you be reading.

HITS = $

Hits! Not "peace and harmony, spirit of cooperation, camaraderie,
high-grade communication, and nurturing of wood be, wanna be loofers" that you would like to think OFL is all about.
Cuz it ain't ...stick around for a few years and find out.
HITS! dude HITS! Its all about hits.

Sponsors show their appreciation for hits.

HITS = $

No Hits and Lance don't eat...and him gots girls to feed and oats cost money.

See is very simple....
Sponsors show their appreciation for hits. Me ain't bought a top, or a set, or banding or bracing in over 10 years. Got enough high grade tops last me the rest of me life...all free from dealers, wood hauwkers who took it into their hearts to show their appreciation for my umm...contribution to the craft, ya right...me build threads have high hits and me occasional drop a name here or there and well them sponsours love that which = hits which = free wood for ?adma.( not that me needs any more what with all the gazillion spruce, fir, larch, cedar trees growing all around me)

Wake up, smell the coffee.

The more hits, the more bucks the sponsors lay down on Lances head. Simple eh. Who wood a
thunk that!

As a satirical humorist writer on looferizeming, my threads (hits)are one of the highest at OFL.

Controversial, oh ya. Rough around the edges...yup. Outspoken...no bout adout it. Informative, educational, inspiring with lots eye candy and wood porn, ya sure... how many gigs of testimonials you wanna to read? Is truly my pleasure.

But unfortunately, thems ain't the only types of post that draw big hits...nope!

The biggest hit drawing threads are the
mean, nasty, vicious, at your throat, trolling, sarcastic, know it all put down, but all in humour of course, type threads. Yup, thems the really big drawers of hits...and remember sponsours like to see hits...good or bad type threads, no matter...its hits that convert to $ and everything seems to run on the amt. $ in the cash register at the end of the day for Lance to buy more oats to feed his daughters horses. (You didn't really think him feeds his daughters oats did ya.)

Sad thing is some writers (no names) specialize in that negative approach to drawing hits.

So to all you flower power, peace and love "why cant we all just get along on dis here form" ... me wish we could...non the less.... "If it bleeds, it leads"

Which reminds me, ...Yo, Lance, weres me check for this months cut of the action?

Colin me friend,

ya gotta read the fine print between the lines to get the point of the fact that some things are pointless.

Oh and thank you for another hit.

And no, you ain't gonna get non of me arch top billets. (Me don't build flat tops)

However in the spring, when me breaking out stock, me keep you in mind.

Also bear in mind that just the shipping alone from Canada is gonna be more expensive than getting two dulcimer sets from Stu Mack attack guys delivered right to your door.

Hits are nothing... sales are everything.

No sales = no advertiser.

StuMusic

Yes, but research shows that a certain percentage of hits turn over into sales, so the more hits, the more likely an ad is to generate sales.
A website with lots hits, or a forum with lots of membersis more attractive to advertisers.

If you've got a problem with the Padma, may I suggest you don't drag classified members/contributors into it.

Actually I do subscribe to the classified section and have done so many times over the years. So that makes me a contributing member right?

Actually I have no problem at all with the Padma and enjoy his post and work. My post was a joke in response to nyaazip post that I guess went over everyone's head including Padma. I made this joke since some people think that have the right to look down on others who don't contribute financially. So lighten up everyone!.

Actually, I have lost over 40 pounds recently, eating organic soup.

I'm less hungry as well, seems when you're getting all your vitamins and minerals, the receptors in your blood vessels and various organs don't send hunger signals to your brain.
