Originally posted by VectraMan View PostAdvertising on foreign owned websites won't go anywhere near the UK, yet that's still a legitimate part of the cost of UK sales. You'd have to get country data for all those websites, attribute a proportion of that cost of advertising to the UK to even begin to come up with a figure. Faced with those sort of administrative nightmares, no company would want to do any business in the UK.
It's already being done. Companies don't sign up individual advertising agreements with websites. They use web advertising partners.
