One of their employees came to my uncles skate shop where I was workin and tried selling uson this s**t and I told him straight to his face that this was the stupidest idea ever and wouldnever go anywhere. He kept sayin s**t like "You could own keywords like skateboarding!".At first he made some brief (probably a lie) comment about how it was being backed by googleand all these top companies. I kept tryin to get him to draw a line from where the usergets from point A to point B which is leapfish since nobodys ever heard of the site and if they'remarketing a search site where your results are sold to the highest bidder, you're right off the bat tellingusers the results are worthless. He kept trying to go back on script but didn't even attemptto address what I was telling him and I could see right through his eyes that he knew I was rightand he had no explanation what so ever.
@yurimxpxman: I thought I saw wording akin to "this person is no longer affiliated with us." I took that to mean that he'd been fired. Yes, I noticed his accusatory tone, and yes, I did read the post, but not the comments.@Arcex: I didn't realize there was a history with Behrouzi beyond the "astroturfing" mentioned on TechCrunch. Thanks for not calling me an idiot!

I recalled that re-clicking a link does not cost each time. You IP is cached for awhile, so spam clicking does nothing.
