 Can anyone say sell out?
This post amuses me. I started promoting AGLOCO a bit on my blog months ago, and one thing that made me question if it was a good idea or not was the fact that Steve didn't do anything like that on his blog. I thought maybe I'd be better off staying "above" this sort thing.
Now that I see this I wonder, why the heck did he wait so long? If he was gonna sell out, he might as well have gone John Chow style and started hawking in hard from the very beginning.
Why did he wait so long to get in the game? At this point his missed out on thousands of referrals and still looks like a money grubber. Of course I don't blame the man for trying to make a living, but this post is puzzling. Especially because the post itself is so lame and contains a referral link in every paragraph.
If I was him I wouldn't have done it. AGLOCO is far from a sure thing. Most of the other big bloggers are staying away from it. Especially at this point, is it worth pissing off a lot readers, especially when he already makes a ton from Adsense?
