		<description>Hi Pedro. After our correspondence, and some further thought, I decided to remove the links to some of my affiliate stores that were on my blog. Unfortunately I think you are right about affiliate &quot;copiers&quot; - sad, isn&#039;t it? But that&#039;s how it goes these days, and especially in the anonymous world of the Internet. The last paragraph of your post has it just right.</description>

		<description>Hi Pedro, and thanks for the mention in your post! You are truly spot-on about revealing too much about yourself, your work, or your sites on your blog!

I have a few markets that I have 20+ sites in the same niche, which compete with each other for rankings. Once you mention them in a post... there are suddenly 100 new sites within a week! :-)

Aside from the competition factor, Googlers and other company folks from the search engines also read these blogs to get a pulse on what the community is doing to get ahead with affiliate sites. I posted a few times in June 08 about how well 2 specific sites were doing in Google search... within 2 weeks, they were both deindexed in G. It was that point that I decided to be very sparing with my mention of domains.

Anyhow... thanks again for the mention in the post... I read through several and have subscribed to your feed! Great work.

		<description>I always walk away learning something I didn&#039;t already know. That goes for whatever subject you&#039;re wriitng about, even when it&#039;s a personal blog, like about You. You&#039;ve even got me interested in reading others&#039; blogs daily. I like how careful you are with your words. Sentences always flow &amp; I like how aggressive that last sentence was :)</description>
