Theocacao: Name Dropping

Name Dropping

I found this post on craigslist. Not sure what to say:

If you have a blog, we can pay $5 per posting, up to two postings per day to mention our clients. If interested, please email me the URL to your blog. Once you are approved, we will start sending you over topics.

Help.

Scary stuff. This is not the first occurrence of marketing types trying to buy off bloggers. Unfortunately it is going to get worse before it gets better.

As this continues, the blogger's reputation is going to count for a lot. Hopefully those who take these people up on their offers will announce that they are being paid. Unfortunately that is probably exactly what the sellers don't want.

Let the astro-turfing being!

$5!? That's an insult.

This is amusing. Just think of how long they will survive if all the livejournal kids took them up on the offer?
