Why is the pot $0?
So you came to this site thinking you could win some money, and now all you get are insults, so what is going on?
For those of you visiting us for the first time, you may want to read the old about page or else the rest of this might not make much sense. It was fun while it lasted, but it turns out our site violates some of the google AdSense policies. We're not really surprised, but our hat goes off to the guys at google who figured us out pretty quickly. We'd be curious to know if they had to actually look at our site, or if they figured it out automatically. If it was automated, two hats off to google! Unfortunately, this means we don't have an income source anymore, so we don't have any money to give away.
How much money did you guys make?
If you look at the Winners Page and add up all the money we gave away, you can see how much money we made (about $150). We gave away all of our proceeds, to you, our loyal WINAHOLICS.
So why did you guys make WINBUTTON?
We were interested in better understanding the AdSense program, and in trying something a little different on the internet. We thought it would be fun, and it was!
Are you all Tricksies?
Well maybe... If you look at this link you will see a list of all the loser quotes on our site. Each loser quote is linked to a unique URL. This allowed us to get a wide variety of different advertisements on our site that were linked to specific keywords in the loser quotes. You may remember the cheese ads that came up when you viewed this loser quote.
What will happen to WINBUTTON?
We will keep WINBUTTON running and will continue to add winners to our Winners Page, so feel free to keep clicking away, and you may even be a Winner! You will win your rightful place at the top of our Winners list!
You may also find our alter-site LOSEBUTTON amusing, and if you like FreeCell, you will love JUSTFREECELL. You can also learn Blackjack basic strategy. You might also like some gift ideas from amazon. These are some of the sites we've created in our free time.
What kind of traffic do you guys get?
You can take a look at our July server logs if you are curious. We think WINBUTTON can be a potentially interesting marketing tool, especially if you want to promote brand awareness. So if you or your company are interested in using the WINBUTTON platform to run your next sweeptstakes or advertising campaign in a slightly different manner, don't hesitate to email us.
