Advertising

So far, LikeTheDew.com has not accepted paid advertising, but we are open to it.

Here’s why we haven’t:

LikeTheDew.com is still pretty new (we started in March, 2009). While we have grown every month in unique visitors, page views and site rankings*, we do not believe we are at the place to demand sufficient advertising rates to make it worthwhile for LikeTheDew.com or typical advertisers.

On the other hand, we recognize that our readers are pretty special. Smart. Interesting. Influential. Loyal. And, likely decent consumers. Your company may feel that reaching Dew readers on our site with an ad, a sponsored promotion, or via our Dewsletter would be worthy of a price not exclusively determined by cost-per-thousand. If you do, please contact us to discuss how, and at what price, it can work for you and LikeTheDewers.

What about the Dew Shops?

Good question. We have entered into affiliate agreements with each of the showcased merchants where they send us a commission on any sale they make when a LikeTheDew.com reader  clicks on a link from our Dew Shops. They also honor and pay on that link  for up 90 days after a reader has clicked. That way, they get what they pay for and so do we. If your company is interested in an affiliate relationship with the Dew, please contact us.

For more information, please contact:

What is CAPTCHA and why do I have to enter it to post a comment?

Quick answer: Look at the picture (below) that contains letters. Type those letters in the CAPTCHA Code box.

Longer explanation: Our comment system now requires a CAPTCHA test (an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart" for all comments (unless you have registered and are logged-in). CAPTCHA is an image of letters that is dynamically generated (click the speaker icon to hear it or the arrows to load another test that may be easier to read). The letters, because they're part of an image and not text (e.g. text that you could cut and paste), are difficult for a spambot or other computer program to read. Yet, a person has little trouble reading the letters in a captcha image and then typing them into the form. Using a captcha test on our website is a great way to ensure, for instance, that a person and not a spambot is filling out a web form (we used to get 100 or so spam comments every day which our volunteers had to wade through). Also, a captcha can make it difficult for a person to continuously resubmit form information and overwhelm our comment function. If you hate CAPTCHA, just register on LikeTheDew.com and login (registration is on the bottom left of our home page) and you won't be stopped by CAPTCHA.
