Steve,
First off I was saying your haunted house is just fun and games... I was saying IF your haunted house is for fun and games, or in other words if you didn't care if it made money or not. I hope that clears it up for you.
Secondly, trading links, trading flyers, and all that are great ideas and should be done between haunts, especially if they're in a situation where they're trying to grow the market, or if both are new, or if you're in a market where its very expensive to advertise. Many good things can come from something like that...however I think you missed my point all together.
I'm saying if you're THE established place in TOWN, and someone wants to feed off your success you're just not going to do something dumb like that. Do you think some city landmark eatery is going to promote some new joint that just opened down the street. Do you think MSN is going to say hey we know you're here to use our search engine, but why don't you go to googles instead maybe you'd find better results.
There is a difference if you have THE established haunt in your town, and promoting someone elses haunt who isn't established. In this case, Hauntworld has a lot of traffic, and we share that traffic with EVERYONE...correct? 90% of Hauntworld is links to other website CORRECT? So with that being said we have a haunted house ONLY directory, the last thing we're going to do is send those people who are looking for haunts to another haunted directory...don't you think thats just dumb? Do you think thats what people surfing our directory are looking for is another directory or a haunted house. Which one?
C'mon now...
Either way you have your opinion and I have mine, and I think most agree with what we're saying and not what Adam is saying. When you have a business you make your own rules that help your business, and you don't change them because some other competing website doesn't like them.
At the end of the day though I don't see us as competing, I just see it like he's not a haunted house, and thats not what people surfing those pages are looking for...end of story!
