Before I came to the United States 30 years ago, I knew a lot about its history, geography, politics and way of life. However, I did not know that it is also the “Land of gimmicks,” so I had to learn about this the old hard way- by experience. Though America might have a lot of good things to offer, gimmicks is one I never been comfortable with. Though it might not be illegal, a gimmick, in my definition, is a dishonest trick to hock you into buying something or getting some service you might not need or you might not be able to afford in the long run. I can list, as an example, a timeshare my ex-wife twisted my arm into buying, based on gimmicks. It cost us $ 25,000 down the drain, plus a divorce! Even when we offered to sell it at $ 5,000 at a time of a financial crises, we found no buyers for three years, after which we could not afford to pay the $1,200 maintainace fee, so it went on foreclosure. We lost the investment, we lost the shared property and we lost our marriage! Cell phone companies are big on gimmicks; I had three bad experiences in a period of 5 years. Now I learned my lesson and decided I can survive without a cell phone!

Sophia,

These information are not necessary US only. My friend Ethan wrote to me explaining this. He said:

Quantcast uses a “panel” methodology - what this means is that they have a few thousand internet users who they watch closely, and extrapolate from their usage to guess how many people are looking at a site, what their demographics are, etc. They also let you put tracking data on your site, which measures it a bit more exactly…

This means that they can be anyone, not only US, although the daily visitor data they have there says, US data.

Kimmy,

Put some makeup when you come here
