I understand & accept the reasons for it but am intrigued as to the mechanism.
If I say words like radiator, ebay, cat biscuits on melted cheese on bacon, you know the the maple kind etc I wonder how many links that would generate?
Would it be patriotic to say ebay several times as I know "it" likes to pick up on seeing ebay. Does that generate income per se when it sees things that are sold on ebay? Yes ebay I've said it again (just trying to help)
So is there a pay off every time ebay for instance is mentioned or does one have to go to ebay to generate a credit to the forum, or is it the result of a purchase?
I'm on Firefox & my security settings include "Tell websites I do not want to be tracked" does that screw up the credits for the forum? I just don't like a web site to know the site that is my bank or I like to feed Fenton my dog cheesy bacon, you know the maple kind etc
I only ask out of fascination, it is not to belittle the systems in place
PS I see it highlighted ebay four times then it gave up. So I suppose that is to stop patriots posting long message composed of ebay, ebay etc to click up credits?
