Clearly, my blog doesn't want to let you complete that thought! I guess we'll all need to wait to learn what the templates are going to do or be in the future! :) @Jason…hmmm… Clearly, my blog doesn’t want to let you complete that thought!

I guess we’ll all need to wait to learn what the templates are going to do or be in the future! :)

That said, I could have sworn I'd heard you repeatedly say you are concerned about people running across tons of affiliate sites full of ads? Or are these ok now? If you have 'bot in the works, great. But can I ask you something? Why haven't you been mentioning these when people tell you Mahalo won't scale? But yes, I'd say many of these would take only a few weeks to write, so if you get them in action in a month, that will be great. :) @Jason,

We certainly have bots in the works, just like DMOZ had back in the day. The bots will check for things like dead links, changed pages, and redirects. You can expect to see the bots in action in the next month or so. With regard to checking the number of ads a bots not going to be able to do that to well, and to be honest it's not really that major of an issue for us. We like to really check out the pages we link to... so, if there are too many ads we know and we put a warning up. If we make a mistake the cost is very low (i.e. "ouch! a person had to see a couple of extra ads" or "ouch! someone missed a site because we thought it was too ad heavy"). No biggie. Also, if this happens folks will report it to us. In terms of following the templates we're creating let me say a couple of things: a) we're 100 days old. b) the templates are Mahalo for all the great ideas… keep them coming!
