Follow-up to usage tracking
I understand that ad revenue is a major source of funding for many a website and the steps I proposed in my last post would remove that revenue. I also understand that in order to get paid, those third-parties need to know who went were and how many people showed up, etc.
It's time to find a new way to generate revenue from your corporate presence online. Tout your services or other products, host your own ad server (tracking usage on the same site or other properties owned by the same company is acceptable) or charge a subscription fee.
I also recognize that the techniques below are not infallible. Having allowed scripts from turner.com means that any site that uses JavaScript from that domain would still access turner.com from their domain or site.
I guess my primary point here is that the Web needs some shaping up. It needs to be cleaner, safer and more usable for everyone. Not just a marketplace for corporations to peddle their wares.
