The “trust factor” is important. If I recommend something good, then down
the road when I recommend something else, you'll remember that. Reputation
matters.

Thanks for the lead on what you think is a good product. There are so many products that promise to produce a result that just can't. I never know which one to go with. Personal recommendations seem to always work out better.

Thanks

You're welcome. You can't build a community around your blog if you don't
even respond to comments!

I have read the Technorati report. You are absolutely right. P.S. I like your blog and I appreciate your replies, not everyone is good about that.

LOL, I think it's a little more than three. Like I said, Technorati has
the real numbers.

I don't doubt that there is money to be made and that some people are doing well. The question in my mind is how many are making real money. Even if you told me it was only three I'd still be interested. I have been blogging for almost six years.

It is about time that I started to look into making a buck.

Not at all, Ari. In the first paragraph I clearly state that I'm an
affiliate for the product. They didn't pay me to write this post (sponsored)
but if people buy the product through my link, I'll be compensated via a
commission (affiliate). If the post were sponsored, I would have clearly
stated that.

I like affiliate marketing better than sponsored content. Often, I buy the
products myself, even if I could get a free copy for evaluation. It makes
for a more honest review when I've got skin in the game. And, frankly, it
makes more money. A sponsored post happens once and you get paid once and
that's the end of it. Affiliate links keep making money all the time.

Side note: the links in the post are also "no-followed" which is easily done
using the Headway theme.
