The Lucrative World of Click Fishing

[DGS49]

I admit to nearly total ignorance on how it works, but apparently it is possible to run a fairly lucrative business simply by Click Fishing.

You advertise in various Internet forums, promising to tell or show something that might be interesting to casual viewers, then force them to page through 20-50 different pages of mostly-advertising, before FINALLY seeing something that may or may not even approach what you promised them at the beginning.

Apparently, advertisers believe it is helpful to their marketing efforts to be an irritation to the people clicking through this maze of nearly irrelevant blather, as they (we) seek the final gratification of seeing "Marsha" naked. Or what Dick Van Dyke looks like NOW. Or something otherwise "interesting."

So while the world ponders how we can find a "trade" for high school kids who don't want to go to college, they are probably already capable of engaging in this form of mild, slightly lucrative fraud, where they could earn a living without any formal training or education at all.

What a world.

There is another where you check out a legitimate article on a site, scroll down and see what appears to be more legitimate articles but they turn out to be hour long Infomercials........
