I completely overlooked it. I do see that he marks all the review me posts for the review me category, but to be such a A lister, he has very poor habits.Celestiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10260749786311459122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879802519691223464.post-62671406556036849482007-06-13T10:44:00.000-04:002007-06-13T10:44:00.000-04:00I think it's really tacky to ask for a donation wi...I think it's really tacky to ask for a donation within a paid post, let alone every post on the blog. He doesn't need donations but if he really wants to get donations a highly visible donation button in the sidebar should do. <BR/><BR/>That review wasn't even written by him. I know for a fact that when an advertiser decides to off Johnchow.com a review they more than likely think that John will write it. <BR/><BR/>I know for sure that that's the case with one advertiser that I also did a reviewme review for who I've since become friends with and have a working relationship with now. He took out a review with John fully expecting that it would be him writing it - it wasn't. Plus, just like this review that you used in your example there were links within it to John's site (there's one in the review you linked to) and other sites! Bad form! Very bad form. <BR/><BR/>John also has advertising for ttzmedia.com at the bottom of his posts ... not between posts, but at the bottom of each post. Bad form again. <BR/><BR/>For someone that's been very vocal about one particular paid blogging company I wonder why John doesn't have a disclosure policy on his site?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
