I recently talked about
bait and switch tactics using blog badges or the 125 x 125 pixel graphic used by many bloggers for advertising their blogs. Yesterday I came across a bait and switch that was enough to make my head spin. The 125 x 125 badge indicates home improvement or at least someone painting so the assumption it would have something to do with home improvement. Wait though it gets more interesting. The blog itself is called
Home Improvement!
The last five posts on this blog were:
- book rental plans at booksfree.com
- why shop for car repair tools at Eris Automotive Tools
- you need a social media expert to promote your business
- search engine optimization
- learning about website optimization
Excuse me what do any of the above posts have to do with home improvement? Talk about a massive bait and switch! Adding insult to injury all of the posts appeared to be
paid posts! I thought this rather interesting given the blog is advertising through one of the blog advertising networks that frowns on every post being a paid post.
