blogHelper Is Really Awesome
… or is it? But whatever it is, I’ve been sucked into the latest viral fad, where for US$1, you can buy an online certificate that says you’re really awesome stuff. blogHelper’s certificate is right here, but you’d be more interested in some of the blogosphere’s bigger fish they’ve managed to catch.
The advantages of parting with some hard earned dough? Nothing tangible. Unless you get the “upgraded page” for US$5. For that, you get to put up a pic and an outgoing link of your choice. Yeah, it’s a “clean” link without the almost useless rel=”nofollow” tag.
So, if for some reason this catches on, that’s free PR from the inbound link. And US$5 for two years is much, much cheaper, though no less “spammy” (by Kevin Burton’s definition that is), compared to Text Link Ads (aff link), eh?

Hey there, thanks for the write up. I hope you enjoy your page. If it made you smile at least for one second that’s all we care about
Oh, and the link to your page in the post above is broken.
Cheers,
