    I suppose with some businesses that sort of thing might be effective. But in mine, I'd come across as spammy, scammy or at least garish if I did half of those things. In fact, those actually seem like decent guidelines to me -- but then again I don't go for super long sales pages with LOTS OF CAPS, bold text, and exclamation points!!!!!!!! I guess the difference is that some people sell trust and authority, others sell hype.

    Exactly why I'd never touch an MMO business.
