My job is to make things findable without search engines. I put sensible links in sensible places. For this I get paid the big bucks. People ask me where this money comes from. I never click on ads.
Nobody clicks on ads.
We hate ads. Ads are useless and obnoxious. You can't be making money from ads. Methinks they protest too much. Advertising is still the biggest and fastest way to make a company money.
