jackhammer111 said:really? what do they sell?
Epicycle said:This explains it.
http://www.demandmedia.com/brands/livestrong/
Ads, consumer information, maybe product tie-ins. They also sell what they call gold memberships for $45 a year that give members more access to the site.
That's good news, providing the link is true.Epicycle said:No need for Armstrong to bail them out. Astana paid up.]
anubisza said:Let Vino have Astana back as a Pro Continental team (It won't be ProTour with his record) when he makes his comeback, let Johan Bruyneel take the ProTour license, give it to Lance to massage his ego with. Then let's all get on with watching Contador win the tour, no matter which team he's riding for.

Thoughtforfood said:You obviously don't know anything about the cost of advertising among other things.
jackhammer111 said:most times the more you keep talking about lance the more foolish you look.

Thoughtforfood said:Its because you are too ignorant about the content of websites to know that you are looking at an ad. Why am I not surprised?
Little hint here dipsh!t, I am involved in the selling of advertising for a website. It is obvious you have no idea how the revenue from sites like that are generated, nor do you have any idea how lucrative it is. Again, add that to the long list of sh!t you know nothing about. See oh knower of all things, the real beauty is in the spread of what it costs to host it, and what you charge for the ads. Amazing mark-up. Makes Trek's Chinese made bikes look like a bargain.
jackhammer111 said:like i say .. the more you talk.. the more of a fool you look like.
what is your point here mister internet ad sales executive?
you're probably the guy that's hauling down the big bucks selling them the ads for that FRS sports drink.

Thoughtforfood said:The point is simple, you don't know what the **** you are talking about. You are like 0 fer 10 or something like that. Time to quit while you are behind.
jackhammer111 said:no, no, you idiot, not your point about me... i could give rats @ss what you think about me.
all the arm waving and pants wetting you were doing about evil lance and livestrong.
what's your point?
Thoughtforfood said:You COULD give a rats ***? Well when you no longer can, let me know.
I guess reading comprehension is part of that sh!t you are just too stupid get also. Another log on the fire.
I won't rehash what I meant in regards to Livestrong.com now because of the pearls before swine thing.
