omg! I agree! how greedy, how commercial, UGH!
WOW! I was surprised and also NOT surprised
to hear that such use of blogs existed.
What a shame huh?
Seems folks can't even do personal journals for themselves,
unless they can find a way to make a buck off it.
Geez, What next?
Pay me to talk to you on the phone,
even if you are my best friend? lol ?
hmmm
Get paid to give out phone numbers of your family that are unlisted?
lets see what else we can brainstorm ? lol !
Pay me to share photos of anyone caught picking their nose?
How about girlfriends without makeup and after makeup? (for real pics)
Oh yeah, and best of all...
your boyfriend singing in the shower?
(this could get you 1000 $ *laugh*)
(esp if he can't keep a tune)
Girls! get paid to send in your girlfriends phone numbers
to dating companies?
I guess the list goes on huh?
There always exist those that will do anything for a $.
What a shame to see that kind of commercialism
has now entered the blog market.
But, again, I am not that surprised,..
should have seen it comming 8(
BTW The affliates % commission off sales links
is a personal choice of companies..
It is a legal way that many make $ with,
but it is only applicable IF a link leads a person
to actually BUY that product..and
if they don't buy that product, no commission..
if they go to buy a different product at same link,
Often = no commission.. and also if they buy nothing,
but come back later (not thru your link)
and make a purchase .. no commission.
This is something some companies do,
and it does NOT affect others choices.
It must be applied for with the *affliate* company,
(also many companies do NOT do this) and
generally that commission can be from 5-20 %.
It was my understanding this kind of sales profit marketing
must be from a registered domain name website,
not a blog or (like here at curezone,)
not from personal messages forums, etc.
There are legal rules concerning this as well.
(and definite risk if abused)
You can learn about *affliate companies*
by interent searches,
and especially would need to read up
on the legalities of conducting
such a business venture via the internet.
