You happen to be a FReeper that has a blog. Usually it’s the reverse, bloggers use FR to drive traffic to their site. Since FR is a user supported site it’s unfair that we are used to advertise for someone else. This is a very different scenario than a Freeper who also has a blog. Most bloggers are not part of our community and they simply use FR as a vehicle for hits.
I have never got that.
Look, I want eyeballs on my pearls of wisdom as much as the next writer, but doing that - using an existing community - is so damned tacky.
