No, I understand completely. But you’re not getting the analogy. The would-be johns would be the equivalent of the users of FR, correct?
FreeRepublic would be analogous to, say, a convention site where hookers hang around. You’re with me here?
A PIMP would be someone who hangs around the convention to encourage a would-be john to purchase the services of a prostitute aka ANOTHER PERSON. A blogpimp would, for a fee, hang around FR and then get a cut of the blogger (analogous to the prostitue)’s revenue.
As opposed to a STREETWALKER/INDEPENDENT PROSTITUTE, who would be analogous to both the person on FreeRepublic driving traffic and the blogger.
Follow me now?
And the pimp is the person posting in an effort to draw traffic FROM FR TO his blog.
Sometimes nasty virus infested blogs.
