		<description>I am seeing #1 all to much in my industry. I see real estate blogs that appear to be geared toward the consumer with posts tossed in for other agents. Very odd from a consumer perspective. - Ashley</description>

		<description>It would never happen, however, I would think it would be so cool to see a financially successful blogging list.
Now, topping that list would be a prize indeed!</description>

		<description>Hello Christine

An update for Plan B! We have made 2 really good connections through blogging thus far and within the next 24 hours, we will be having our advertisement put up on the political grind network :)

In addition, we even hooked up with a new affiliate management program click2sell (http://jewelryguy.join.click2sell.eu/)

BTW... all good points you make in this post. #4 is especially challenging for Carol &amp; I... the artist is the worst candidate for selling their work&#039;s so I find I have to balance the artist and the &quot;pt barnum act&quot; into something that is uniquely &quot;us&quot;...

(at least until professional help comes our way)

Thanks for the mention:)</description>

		<description>A lot of my readers are non-bloggers which is actually what I want. It is discouraging because, as you say, very few of them leave comments. I just have to keep plugging along.</description>
