Why do we have to pay for Internet access, whilst there's Advertising on it?

We pay for it because it's an optional service. If you don't want to pay don't have it. Oh, and stop whining.

People want to see advertising that is entertaining or informative, and they want it to be something they are interested in. The internet will make this more and more possible, especially web 2.0 sites that gather limited user interest information and can deliver targeted ads. Affiliate marketing also makes this possible. I noticed that your service listing doesn't cover affiliate marketing, you should contact us sometime at http://www.kowabunga.com .

No Never, if they were free and worked, how would the companies survive the ad charges by your ISP or the website where they originate??????????????

Could you clearly define "advertising"? Only in newspapers? Anywhere? Only the costs of the pure "information distribution" or also the production costs like desktop publishing and so on?\n\nAnd what should the information help you at all? Most advertisement still are a local thing - with the exception of very few really international websites.

You are not going to either.  Its huge bandwidth, if its a direct link there is no chance for advertising, and it would be a headache and a half for someone to run and deal with the copyright issues.

please always ask a question in detail.\nTV, almost everybody watches TV, And every month 2-5 channels appear in the business. So, there 60%  chances for a company that viewers will see that ad. The cost is high but the recurring profit is much more for the companies.

no because we pay a fortune for our access to these things - why should we give it away free to a competitor?\n\nAnyway, my best suggestion is to form a group that shares a sub to these things: I know of several. I'm in one group myself (not for Response source but similar PR tool).

They charge online because someone has to enter or scan all that data so that it can be accessed online.  That's a lot of time, energy and resources.

You would actually expect to pay a company to tell you what to buy? There are so many corporations that would put spyware in you computer to find out what you want to buy and tell you what to buy.\nBeing advised on what to buy from whom, is the very definition of advertising. Why would you pay for someone to tell you what you should do?

If you mean programmes being advertised as "Free Download" but don't draw your attention to the fact that you have to purchase to use the programme...then I too think it is misleading & should not be allowed.

Without knowing what organization this is exactly and what it does or provides to whom, it is hard to answer in specifics. However, I can tell you that internet advertising&#92;presence is NOT completely a stand alone solution. You need other pieces to generate web traffic. While you can opt to try different internet mediums from meta-tags linked to search engines as first or primary results by location or industries, and banner advertising on other sites, what has proved more effective are other traditional media to drive web traffic. From mailings, to print ads or TV and radio announcements.\n\nI know it is a bit hard to hear if you had envisioned that by internet alone one could bring thier message to the masses or a targeted audiance which would be SO MUCH cheaper...but that is not the true dynamic of things. There are exceptions, however, but, by and large this is how it works. If you would like to inform me further of your organization, what it does and offers to whom...then I could help you further.
