		<description>Hi,
I am, William
lots of info on here
this is my site:

&lt;em&gt;[link removed]&lt;/em&gt;

This is the powerful and fantastic blog by Todd. If you've got questions, feel free to ask him in the comments. I won't rehash them here. There is safety in numbers. Too rich for my blood. I hope this is providing some insight into my going crazy and spamming on this blog. If you don't know where you are going, any road will do. Most wonderful, spamming will also provide me with a wide variety of links. I'm not sure where I'm going but it's going to be a fun ride. Can there be a better illustration of spamming than this comment?. LMAO. I'll post back here and share the results of my spamming. </description>

		<description>Hi Todd,

Yeah, I knew the Ty Coughlin thing was an MLM front. There are several around that pull the same kind of stuff. I'm not opposed to making money off giving them leads though. One of these days I'll have to write a post about what I don't like about MLMs. Anyway, I'm probably going to make some significant sidebar changes soon.

Making $50 from an affiliate ad on a non-product blog is pretty good. 

One of my navigation tests when I'm reviewing a site is to dig up an older, but interesting, post like your Iraq post. It's good to use a plugin like Related Posts or Random Posts that gives visitors more reasons to stay on your site.</description>

		<description>Hi Frank,

Thank you very much for the review ... I really appreciate it.  And never let it be said that I don't know how to take advice.  That sitemap plugin is installed and running ... excellent suggestion.

As for monetization, lol just as you're not a fan of mlm, I'm not particularly enamored of adsense. (oh, and btw, in case you weren't aware, Ty Coughlin's system in one of your 125x125 ads backdoors people into an mlm).  ;)

Realistically though, at this point in time, the purpose of my blog is not really to put immediate additional cash in my pocket (although I did make $50 from hostgator last month). 

Blogging struck me as a good way to network with some cool new people ... basically get better known, by more folks ... and so far that's working out pretty well.

The biggest unexpected benefit has been how much I've learned from reading other blogs (yours included)

All-in-all, learning to blog has proved to be a very positive experience over the past 6 months or so.  And I definitely plan to keep doing it for as long as I can.

Thanks again,
Todd

p.s. I'd totally forgotten about that Iraq post ... it was pretty cool reading it again after being home for 2 months.</description>
