The questions is will they keep it secret or be upfront with their readers. Will it make a difference? People understand seeing traditional ads on websites & now blogs but this is a bit unconventional ===sort of like the paid spokeman type of advertising. It will be interestign to see who can make this work & how---it seems like a tough "row to hoe". Thanks for your comment Jay. Certainly many bloggers will be attracted to the bait.

I cannot see writing a post, providing an opinion and not telling readers that someone is paying me specifically to do it. It's only a matter of time until someone (not me) starts a site that lists all of the blogs participating in this scheme and kills their credibility. Just my opinion. - Jay dumblittleman.com I am with you. I cannot see writing a post, providing an opinion and not telling readers that someone is paying me specifically to do it.
