Default How to find best gardeners?

Your home page lacks content and the only other page your site contains is
your survey.


That's correct, the site is new and we do not intend to put some ads to
the starting page just to evade having it empty.

Looks like a fancy way of harvesting email addresses if you

ask me.

Damn, we give up, you busted us! ;-) Think, why should we harvest
emails by creating a site where email field is AN OPTION? Believe me, I
know hundreds of ways I could use to collect myriads of emails if I
wanted to. But I don't need any.

Your survey lacks a privacy statement and your whois information
states that you have Private Registration.


You got a point here, we will add this statement. See, that is the
valuable info we are looking for, not your email.
Private registration is not yet forbidden, is it? First, we have just
started; second, nobody said the service would be placed on that
domain.

Sounds like a scam........


Sorry to read that. The simple layout and all contact options meant to
stand for visibility and honesty. Why do you assume the final service
would look anything like the survey? But this is also a valuable
information, next time we will spend that mere couple of hours on a
fancy design, if that is really needed to earn some credibility...

Cookies *do* allow you to target advertising. Basically harmless, but it's
of no benefit to many people who visit the site.


Yeah, we will use the cookies to spam you forever, especially those who
did not leave their emails! ;-) (In fact I really regret now having
included this email field to the survey, I think we will remove it)

Uh, and there is one more thing: do you really believe any spammer
would spend any time explaining the idea behind this short and simple
survey to you? :-)

cheers
