For those bloggers who tend to defend A-Listers when it comes to the kind of "scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" deals I mentioned in the article, here's yet another example, this one from John Cow. Check out his comment (#46) on this post about him <a href="http://www.johncow.com/they-are-killing-entrecard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">dropping EntreCard</a> <blockquote cite="John Cow">SEORob, We started with the widget because we got paid for a review</blockquote> And in Comment #92 <blockquote cite="John Cow">Darren Rowse from Problogger gets paid by Entrecard to endorse them. </blockquote> I'd venture to say that the other big bloggers who're using and promoting this widget got paid as well. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It just illustrates my points about how the social blogging system works. Here’s a little update.

SEORob, We started with the widget because we got paid for a review

And in Comment #92

Darren Rowse from Problogger gets paid by Entrecard to endorse them.

I’d venture to say that the other big bloggers who’re using and promoting this widget got paid as well. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It just illustrates my points about how the social blogging system works.

It's set as a hypothetical scenario, but it strikes dead on. Good work. So, who are you really famous as, Frank? :) This series has been a good read.

I'm glad you enjoyed the series. It's funny how I've seen much the same tactics used by 'sales gurus' for at least 30 years now. In the 80-90's it was MLM's like Amway, Herbalife and Primerica but today it's more of the same stuff recycled online. Hi Bruce,
