Can you show me one of your blogs please. I'm thinking of getting into this. You can message me if you don't want to post it here. I'll write you some text to show you what I mean.

I've always believed, if you treat customers with respect they come back. And every time you take advantage of one you lose his trust a little, take advantage of one often enough and you lose him completely.

So with 100s of people churning out blogs that are just to get a surfer to the site, hit him with an "advert" and not care if he comes back. Eventually customers start to get very cautious. With today's Adult Internet he has no reason to buy. So not only is he cautious, he has far more trustworthy options for free.

Hard to compete with free, even harder if the paid option isn't to be trusted?
