- blizkreeg 16y agoI get that they're making good money by embedding ads in every inch of the site. Is this really a 'good' and respectable business model though? Something about it doesn't sit well with me, especially when the site doesn't offer quality content to the user.
- hvs 16y agoThat's your conscience speaking. The fact that it bothers you is a good thing.
- OmarIsmail 16y agoThings aren't always so cut and dry. There's probably some people - a large number in fact - that does derive benefit from some of Mahalo's pages. You also have the fact that the revenue generated by Mahalo is going towards paying people which lets them live and feed themselves, etc. In terms of the grand scheme of things, what Mahalo is doing isn't that "bad". It's also not the ideal case either. As a savvy web user a Mahalo page is one of the last pages I'd want to visit, but I'm also savvy enough to know how to avoid it.
- jasonmcalacanis 16y agoSuggest taking a look at these pages, which get a lot of traffic, that people stay on for a long time and that provide a lot of value: http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-play-guitar-chords http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-play-guitar-chords http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-make-strawberry-shortcake http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-make-strawberry-shortcake http://www.mahalo.com/star-wars-the-force-unleashed-walkthrough http://www.mahalo.com/star-wars-the-force-unleashed-walkthro...
- OmarIsmail 16y agoI don't doubt that there are diamonds in the rough. However, when I search and see a random Mahalo page in Google I have no way to know if this is one of the diamonds, or one of the thousands of "rough". Why take that chance when I can go to a more reliable site that I trust more?
