The definition has evolved. First, it was somone pimping their blog by placing it in a sidebar. Then it became someone simply posting an excerpt of a regular news article on their blog to generate hits. Now, it's become someone who posts original material in the Bloggers Forum where it belongs.
Post 65.
You are not a pimp for simply posting blog articles in the bloggers forum. You are a pimp if you needlessly excerpt your articles to get hits. Really, what real reason can a blogger have for excerpting from his blog? Their blogs are not on FR's 'excerpt only' list. They are using FR as a platform for promoting their blog. That is unacceptable.
Well, you could always create your own website and forbid this terrible behavior.
Or the blogpimps could quit breaking FR’s rules. :)
Please post the relevant rule here. Thanks in advance.
no one is complaining about original material posted in the forum
Pimp that blog
Pimp it on FR
Search the internet
For good stuff, don’t forget
When a video comes along
you must pimp it
before the story’s out too long

Get hits
Get adware

It’s not too late
To pimp it

When someone writes a good piece
you must steal it
You must put it in your blog
And then you pimp it
You need lots of hits
So you must pimp it
I say pimp it
Pimp it good
I say pimp it
Pimp it good
I love the “Soul Man” pimp song! LOL
Not in the last two hours, as far as I can tell. ROTFLMAO
Please post the relevant rule here.
See post 76 or ask the mods if you still need clarification.
Cram it Clownie nOOb.
If it weren’t for the Blog Posse, you would never get interesting news from around the world.
Instead, Blog Pimps would move in like squaters and take over the place.
Then FR would cease to exist as an interesting place of discourse, it would be little green footballs.
Oh that’s rich...
Bored? LOL
Devo.....
And we care what a n00b thinks because....?
If you dudes want to act like morons, do it somewhere else.
Goodness, did I miss something? Did Jim Robinson cede power or ownership of this forum to you?
No, I didn't think so.
In fact, you have no authority here, whatsoever, so sit down, n00b.
If you don’t like excerpted posts don’t click on them.
If you don't like threads like this, don't click on them.
See how simple that was? Now, be nice or butt out.
Have you alerted the Mods to the utter lack of respect for the rules? They are the one who are allowing this abominable behavior to continue.

Ah, good times.
Yes, they do tend to post and run. But when someone posts a challenge to their pimping process on one of their threads, they can get quite verbose....and nasty. They sometimes even freak out and start posting to themselves.
Blog pimps can be entertaining.
In small doses.
No matter how many times you post it.
