No worries. Not content starved, just trying to reach my goal of $1,500 for the month

Oh, sorry, I didn’t know it was a sponsored review. I thought you were starved for content or something.

I’ll have to try to write more productive comment when the point of my comment is about “unproductive” posts!

lol ok now THAT was hilarious.

Eric, keep in mind the PPP ads post was a paid review. I don’t normally rehash topics that quickly. But, I agree, it’s about time for another couple of home run posts. I’m working on a Lessons on Blogging post right now so hopefully I’ll polish it off this evening and have it ready to roll tomorrow.

I’m not trying to cause any fights here, I’m just saying that yours wasn’t the most productive of comments.

Yet I have to agree with you, Ben hasn’t produced _great_ content lately, with his last post being a repost about PPP ads.

I thought the existing comments already did a good enough job pointing out why it isn’t the greatest post.

Something broke + take advantage of it = probably unethical + probably won’t work for long if at all.

My point was that I hope there is indeed a new/better source of material for future posts because like you suggest, if I am subjected to more of this, then I indeed will no longer need to come to this site.

By the way, I wasn’t meaning to troll or anything. I’m also not quite sure what my dating site has to do with any of this.

@Ben, Exactly. On eBay, I almost never buy from someone with lower than 90% approval, especially if they have a significant number of reviews. 80% and below? Forget it.

@Dennis, That’s a rather incomplete argument. You said that the article was dumb, and walked away to work on your dating site. Personally, I think this is rather interesting. This has definitely generated a discussion about the subject.

And I’ll use the same defense that Matt Groening used in the 1990′s: If you don’t like what goes on in this blog; no one is making you type in “bloggingexperiment.com”.

This is definitely the dumbest thing I’ve ever read on here. I think you’ve just scraped the bottom of the crap barrel for something to blog about. I do hope you have somewhere else to look for new topics.

Eric, that is a good point. I know that at least SponsoredReviews allows advertisers to rate your review. It’s kind of like the feedback system on ebay, so if you get a bad rap, you’re a lot less likely to get any more reviews.
