Advertising wastes of time

Further to Paul's comments regarding how little business his website 
generates, I'd agree entirely. And Luke's confirmation of Nick's supposition, 
I agree entirely with that as well.

Not so long ago I was rung up by someone who thought that I might like to 
spend a few quid a month on sticking a small poster in the lobby of a local 
DIY store, this few quid a month would've amounted to a couple of hundred a 
year.... I never cease to be astounded by how the advertising fraternity 
routinely over-value their services. They seem to be of the opinion that 
we're all flogging super-dooper jumbo-sized washing powder.

Joyously, I understand that Yelldotcom, or whatever they're called, are in 
fairly deep debt-inspired mire, which I shall take as confirmation of of my 
appraisal of their mistaken valuation of their product and their near 
irrelevance to our industry....

Then again what do I know? And here's an article that possibly proves I know 
nothing;
