It appears they also have to post every single day to keep their "count" up. That would rule me out right away! There are not many of us old-style bloggers left but I hang on to the ones I like to visit.

Guess they really don't care if anyone reads the post as long as their counter gets the hit tallied so the advertisers keep paying them.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-70444036568581014622014-11-12T04:14:12.176-05:002014-11-12T04:14:12.176-05:00No snow on the ground yet, though we had a flurry ...No snow on the ground yet, though we had a flurry or two.

I have no problem with someone generating income from their blog, but I don't look at ones with the pop up ads as noted above.

I go to see what the person has to say not what some advertiser is trying to sell me. You can visit me anytime...lol...I am ad free. I get offers all the time to run ads or do promotional giveaways. That is just not my thing! NOT why I blog. Glad you spoke out but most won't comment for fear of reprisal.

I hate ads. It also makes me "doubt" the sincerity of the post/poster. Stick to your guns, Zoey. We need to send a clear message.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.com
