The SOB of web entrepreneur

Blogger Jibone just highlighted something about "Ten Rules for web startups" where one is supposed to:

1. Be Narrow
2. Be Different
3. Be Casual
4. Be Picky
5. Be User-Centric
6. Be Self-Centered
7. Be Greedy
8. Be Tiny
9. Be Agile
10. Be Balanced

At the same time, I notice another web entrepreneur or should I say netpreneur who preaches the opposite.

The web site has no name, no identity and no contents except for Advertisements links. Its objective is to "force" one to click on any link to find out what the heck is it all about.

I call this the SOB (Son of the Butcher) of web entrepreneur. It offers no messy but just kill! Anyway, it could have been a smart initiative because new-comers might end-up clicking whole day around its boundaries not knowing what happen.

Well of course, Google has all the money in the world, they can be anything and say anything.

Interesting, but it says on the Google Adsense program policies that,

No Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages.

No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed on any domain parking websites, pop-ups, pop-unders, or in any email.

No Google ad may be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant.

So could we actually put Google Adsense on a no content-based pages?

Jibone, it is good that you brought this up.

That is why I say that it is the SOB of netpreneur.
