The word is spreading fast. Donna over at SEOScoop picked up the story too. Thanks Donna!
Thanks to Todd as well. and Arnold. and Andy at Marketingpilgrim
As well as Andy Beard
and Techcrunch, although Michael takes a very negative view of sponsored reviews in general, we appreciate the mention. His main concern is the potential corruption of the blogosphere. While it is worthy subject, I couldn’t disagree more with his conclusion. Reputable Bloggers understand the value of credibility. And for the few bad apples, their audiences (if they had one to begin with) will make them pay dearly for any abuse.
Thanks to Maki at DoshDosh.com for his thoughts.
