Does anyone else find that the use of encryption heightens the
desire to know what has been encrypted, and why?

This technique of attracting attention to the advert is very
interesting, but is not a very sound practice. While it does
draw one to the encrypted data, the use of encryption is only
needed to prevent unwanted eyes reviewing sensitive or very
personal data.

If the above is of such significance that encryption IS necessary,
it certainly should NOT be posted to a public forum. Encryption is
best used with and for E-Mail messages, assumed "private" and
encrypted to preserve some degree of that privacy.

As an advertising "gimmick", it degrades the concept of encryption
from a means of security, to just another way to get attention.

There are numerous sources of information about how to produce
effective and attention-getting ads. Don't let yourself be drawn
to gimmickry, simply to attract propsects. If you really have a
product or service that is of value, do yourself a favor and
tell the world about it.

If your enthusiam and belief in your product or service shows, it
will inspire others to view your advertisement much more favorably
than using a so-called "hook". Your customers on-line are very bright,
and aren't going to play this game too many times before looking for
someone who WILL tell them the straight scoop on what they're offering.

Given the choice between knowing verifiable facts, and playing
"Spy vs. Spy", the majority will go for the facts. Take advantage
of your experience, and give credit to your customers. After all,
without them you're not going to make a dime...
