If your blog traffic is contingent upon your ability to provide free crap you might want to reconsider how you go about blogging.

    Oy, I have signed so many NDAs I am surprised I am allowed to write about anything. I like the idea of giving you crap for reading your posts. Those were painful, suck it and do better. 😉

    Hey,

    Wait a minute… someone is giving away $500 worth of Baby Back Ribs??? You have to tell me where to get in on that action!

    Don't worry I have a whole new angle on this – top secret and I would normally have you sign a NDA… but since you are not giving away anything, there must be no one reading this. Okay, here it is – everyone else is giving away crap, so I am going to mix things up and require that my readers GIVE ME crap just for reading my posts. It is niche, it is new and fresh. You read it here first!

    Seriously, very wise words.

    -Dan

    One post at a time is an excellent sentiment and proven to be effective.

    Well you'll forgive me if I don't participated in the auction. 😉 Well, I might help promote it but I won't buy.

    Nope, you didn't even come to mind. You have content, real content and that is a significant difference.

    I agree with your sentiment. I hope to build my audience one post at a time. And it's true. If the giveaways stopped on many of these sites, so too would the traffic.

    I will never give away free crap. I might, however, auction off the occasional turd.

    Your voice is nothing like I imagined it. I like it. You would make a good dj.

    Also, mmm…baby back ribs.

    You're not talking about me, are you? I give away free stuff (I like books, what can I say).

    PS: Your page takes forever to load for me. So many things!
