I did try the Google AdSense once, but they don't send a check until you reach $100, and I was somewhere up around $80 when they informed me I had somehow broken their rules, so I never received a penny for having them on my sidebar for nearly a year. I don't know what I supposedly did, I just put their ad in the blog like they said. I did put a link to a seed company once, because they sent me a bunch of free seeds. I'm OK with that, as long as the company is reputable and garden or kitchen related.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-25934000733063463852011-03-10T07:07:08.764-08:002011-03-10T07:07:08.764-08:00It's funny because the way you write about it ...It's funny because the way you write about it makes it funny. I'm sitting here grinning right now. <br />Yet, it's not at all amusing that people will do anything to benefit themselves or their companies. Another blogger mentioned getting hacked last week. She had 5 days with no access to her blog and in that time, her blog was filled with ads that she did not put there. It's not the right thing to do.dianefaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07229979968118248563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-29539259925372612162011-03-09T20:49:21.469-08:002011-03-09T20:49:21.469-08:00Dan, how could we forget peppers?

Ummm... obviously someone was assigned to look at it and went on one day and read only one post and extrapolated from there. I had a similar but different experience with an online magazine that asked me to do reviews of another blog for a feature article and that my blog was intended to be featured next. I did a thorough visit of the other blog, read many current and older blog posts, read the bios and side info sheets, emailed and did a interview by questions of the site owner, and then wrote a lengthy and complete article - complete with links etc. Fast forward two months later when my blog was to be featured....no contact at all, and when the article came out boy was I surprised! It was a cut and past of my sites intro paragraph - not even the whole thing so it really made no sense - and amazingly for an article featuring a blog site - no link to the site. None. Unfortunately my experience was not even funny like yours - just dissappointing. Oh well, I got to learn about another fun garden blog in the process that I had not heard of prior to that. <br /><br />Overdid it myself last weekend and am just now starting to move freely again.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-40024298657823820212011-03-08T22:37:26.411-08:002011-03-08T22:37:26.411-08:00Haha, that was pretty funny.Haha, that was pretty funny.meemsnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584936035577822444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-24142064570969197312011-03-08T13:46:15.438-08:002011-03-08T13:46:15.438-08:00Daphne, I think there will be many, many of us wit...Daphne, I think there will be many, many of us with regrets.
