Same with things like CashCrate & Inbox Dollars and such. That way, you're advertising things that are ways for people to make money and also give you a bonus. <BR/><BR/>Granted, this is from someone who monetizes her blog, so take it all with a grain of salt.<BR/><BR/>I dunno, this is a very personal thing. I don't let my content get influenced by what I think advertisers will go for. That's how I rationalize the ads' presence. Because I definitely use/appreciate the little extra funds that the ads afford me. And it gives me an excuse to keep up this blog-writing hobby. <BR/><BR/>That said, I'm trying to experiment with my blog to make the ads present but not too intrusive. It's a balancing act that I'm sure I'm far from done learning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-16114401556261128832008-10-04T05:32:00.000-07:002008-10-04T05:32:00.000-07:00Cool!

So so...I did have a referral from another blogger. So sorry you didn't have yours up! But, ING is so good that I don't think you'll get plenty of referrals. I will probably add a referral program as well. I dont want my blog to seem slanted or an advertisement, but with ING, I look at it that it's promoting a good thing and the $25 is meant to encourage savings, which is something we as a society could use a lot more of. <BR/><BR/>You have my OK! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-68142097649588991082008-10-04T05:00:00.000-07:002008-10-04T05:00:00.000-07:00I'm so sorry!

I noticed that other bloggers also have this referral bonus on their blogs so I chose not to. I regret that decision now.Shtinkykathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463418160441246011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-45785184359036435812008-10-03T19:43:00.000-07:002008-10-03T19:43:00.000-07:00I admit I do tend to wonder at some of the adverti...I admit I do tend to wonder at some of the advertisements on the PF/Debt blogs - credit cards, payday loans, etc, but I don't think ING falls in the same class. This is something that benefits the account holder, without the potential pitfalls (or, in the case of PDLs - outright rapaciousness), of a questionable service.<BR/><BR/>If you use ING, and are pleased with it, and referrals gain both you and your readers some bonuses, I don't see any conflict at all. Just wish you'd had it up before so I could have passed on some good karma. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
