Dungeons and Dragons, FTW! Wow, that takes me bad a few years…

Overall, I’m Lawful Good, particularly if I’m dealing with a company I like, trust and want to maintain a relationship with. If I have an idea for driving traffic / leads that I’m concerned may be frowned upon, I’ll ask my AM before doing it. In most cases the response has been “Test it out and let’s see how it goes”. Sometimes it works out, sometimes not, but in all cases, they were notified beforehand and are appreciative of being kept in the loop.

Diorex,

Nice post.

I would classify myself as Lawful Good. Like you, I believe in driving quality, honest traffic that works out for both me and the advertiser. I’m in this for the long run. Instead of looking for a quick buck that might not last through the month, I’d rather build honest, long-term relationships with my traffic base and advertisers.
