You can't assume all people know of and use adblock. I personally have adblock, but even then, just being here increases the sites population which does look favorable to ad providers. If I left, oh well. But if everyone like me left, then revenue starts going down (even though I use adblock). I don't know how they are handling money, but if your site's name is literally advertising your site through sales tracking info, then you should have sales tracking. That's like saying you're going to make an fps but you're gonna include the guns later as dlc. They can either fix the situation for free (at the expense of their money), or they can fix the situation and charge a price (at the expense of their site traffic), or they can not fix the situation and call themselves vgforums (at the expense of their site traffic). |
I don't assume all people use adblock. You are not paying someone to analyze sales data simply because there are ads on the page. None of us are. Some of us aren't supporting anything at all (people using adblock). Yet everyone has a collective bitch fest because someone doesn't feel like spending their free time creating sales data for us. Anyone who wants to complain is free to start their own sales tracking website.
The name of the site is VGChartz and it is chock full of video game charts and sales information, regardless of whether they fix the situation.
