Coulter articles are excerpted, as well as Malkins and many more that don't require it.

Neither of those excellent writers excerpt their own material
here just in order to get blog hits. Huge difference. Enormous.

So they get hits to their site, no biggie.

If all they have done is embed a video that they had nothing
to do with do they deserve hits? Using us as an advertising platform?
It would be more honest to just post the damn link to the video.
Many use embedded videos as bait, posting a teaser and excerpting.

Johnny don't like that, yo.

I noticed some bloggers have done that after constant harrassment, even using HMTL with hot links!

And others have seen the light, changed their ways, and are given praise, bumps and hits.
True story.

But they do appreciate excerpts so that people will go to their websites.

To see other articles and information on their sites, and also to click on some of their advertizing.

Exactly the same as bloggers do.

Most of them have links to other articles of theirs, as well as links to other conservative sites.

If a blogger just posts a link to their site to see a video, I don't like that either.

But if they write original commentary of their own, I see no problem with that.

It happens with Hotair, Malkin, Brietbart and many other sites that are posted here.

I haven't noticed that, that's good.

I have seen some that have changed their ways, and they still are vilified.

Usually for posting an excerpt instead of the full article.

One was chastized for posting an excerpt, when the article was 4 pages long.

Personally I don't like super long articles in the thread body, I'd rather click on the site if I am interested in the rest of the article.

Like I do with Coulter and others.
