Some blogs do sponsored posts and do them really well - they fit in so nicely with what they usually write about, you hardly notice it's an ad of some sort. But the blogs that do it ALL THE TIME for the most random things? Ugh. I delete those from my feed! I feel bad about it but then again, I don't. I don't have much time to read blogs as it is, I don't want to be reading ads for things I'll never buy! I also don't really understand all the blogs that have other blogs sponsoring them. What happened to old fashioned link sharing? Button swapping? Does everything have to be about money?

I just don't see why anyone would read them. It's an ad!Leeann @ Join the Gossiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09003557241706804723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014159947426625440.post-43270041478693422412014-02-06T10:13:02.712-05:002014-02-06T10:13:02.712-05:00I SO feel you here.

Money is hard to say no to, whether it's $10 to put a button in your sidebar or $250 from a big company, but enough is enough. Those companies look at stats and readers like us are what is giving bloggers those opportunities. Every once in a while is one thing, but if a blog or twitter account turns into a commercial, then buh-bye. There are too many other great writers out there for me to waste time even marking posts as read. You aren't alone in this line of thought!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01625993635674294934noreply@blogger.com
