		<description>Sorry Simon but ...

"the latter is likely to turn me away from the page" - a FIVE SECOND AUDIO AD ?
Your opinion is just that - a personal view. There are countless numbers of people out there who won't give a flying fig about hearing these ad's on entry to a site.

PPP ad's are a lot less likely to turn people away from a site than the assorted audio and video nightmares that leap from every page of some sites. STRATEGICALLY, SENSIBLY PLACED audio ad's are highly unlikely to cause a website to lose visitors en masse. 

People return to 'sticky' or corporate websites because they either want or need to - customers are unlikely to turn away because of a brief audio ad. People visit small sites or sales pages because they are interested in the information or product contained. These generally visit once only, get the required info, then leave. They are unlikely to exit before getting the information that they were seeking, by which time the ad will have played.

You are not seriously telling me that you are going to leave your speakers off permanently because you might hear an tiny audio ad - you might miss something important :-)  Or perhaps you're going to wait until you hear the beginnings of what might be an ad, and then dive for the volume button.

I'll repeat what other have already said: the arrival of Google adsense was greeted with the same type of bile by internet experts of the day. Many of these are now milking Adsense for all it's worth, and pumping out crappy sites by the hundreds - thousands in some cases.

Bottom line is that these ad's are now playing, and we are earning. How much ? Join us and find out ;-)</description>

		<description>It was not ment to be a comparison, just that the company has other products and a history.  PayPerPlay is to be compared with PayPerClick, not Voice2Page which is a means in which to enhance your own business web site with voice related content to your product or service.  Totally different, but both from same company.

Good luck to all,</description>

		<description>Voice2page, where YOU personalise your page with audio, is vasty different from being hit with an ad when you enter a site, in my opinion.

The former has the potential to enhance the web page and hold my attention (learning more, without having to read on), the latter is likely to turn me away from the page. Or more likely just turn off my speakers.</description>

		<description>Thanks Jerry,

Well stated, and I agree with what you stated, and your site is enhanced with your personal overview, it does make a difference.

		<description>I have been a supporter and user of voice2page and netaudioads for quite some time now, actually before they came out with Play Per Play. I use the voice2page feature on my site www.collectmychecks.com because plain text pages are usually pretty boring and most people have a short attention span. Attention grabber graphics and video are becoming more and more popular and actually required to try and attract more visitors and hold them for any length of time.

So the internet audio concept makes perfect sense â€¦ok try thisâ€¦go turn on your TV  and try and watch it with the sound offâ€¦pretty boring right. 

You have to do something different to hold the visitors attentionâ€¦why not make it more personable.  The netaudioads is a great way to monetize your site and pretty ingenious if you ask me. They seem to have figured out a way to deliver information without competing with overpopulated sites and web page limitations. 

The big picture appears to be that voice2page is trying to take the internet to the next level of internet communication with endless application possibilities. The facts seemed to beâ€¦the search engine giants like it, the advertisers like it, so therefore it will probably become mainstream pretty soon. 

It does not make a whole lot of sense to try and find fault with the concept because it is probably going to be very successful regardless of the nit-pick negative comments.

Anybody heard whether voice2page is going public anytime soonâ€¦I think this would be a good stock buy.

If you have an opinion regarding what I have said about voice2page please forward your comments to their email box support@voice2page.com  they may be interested in what you think.</description>

		<description>Interesting,

I have been on every forum on the internet trying to verify these claims that affiliates were stiffed, yet I find very little mention of it, so I have to question just how true this claim is.  Sure, having both run an affiliate program, as well as promote many, I know there are issues on both side of business regarding missing commissions, or lost in the mail, etc.  But really, how serious of an issue was this with so few documented cases.  Every affiliate program has these issues, not just the former one mentioned here.

I still say it is worth promoting, and certainly worth beta testing, and if there are problems with commissions as claimed with former affiliate program, well, we will all know about immediately, so where is the harm in testing PayPerPlay, and if they screw up any commission payments, the whole world will hear about it, not just a couple naysayers claiming they supposedly didn't get paid.</description>

		<description>----If it works? Fine! If it doesnâ€™t, your at no lossâ€¦ You invested nothing, whats the big deal?----

How about credibility with your list?

Voice2Page has tried their had at running an affiliate program and they failed to pay their affiliates for their efforts.  Keep in mind they are the one handling the money.

I have wished Charles and Many of the affiliates good luck, but the demeanor of one of the "founders" in conversations and IM chats is comical and highly unprofessional.  

Good luck to you you have built Charles a hell of a list if this flops but I hope you all make a million.</description>

		<description>I don't understand what the big deal is?  

Is the real issue here being spammed by rookie marketers or the choice to turn your speakers down or off? Or is it the fact, that you are not on board? Do you feel its too late to get on board or are you just upset that Pay Per Play was not your brain child?  

The way this article was written makes it sound, like everyone is an idiot and doesn't know how to turn the volume down or off on the computer... I know the only time I have my speakers on are when I want to hear something from a video or mp3 file, otherwise my speakers are turned off anyway... 

Is it everybody else's fault that you want to sit around here and complain about other peoples ideas and work?

		<description>Experts insisted that advertisers would never pay serious money for ads that could be turned off - ie the volume reduced, or channel switched. Huh, got that one wrong.

Ah, but the big difference here is that on the internet, you can target one source to turn off, without affecting the rest of the experience. With TV, it makes no sense to keep turning the sound on and off constantly.

Having said that, this ideas is bound to be a popular monetisation method if its delivered properly - people don't generally turn down easy ways to make money, which this certainly could be. And most internet users aren't that tech savvy, so probably wouldn't go around trying to block the source of the ads... unless it was put into something like an MS Internet Explorer ad blocker lol.</description>
