You fail to understand: Pimps try to force traffic FROM FR to THEIR link for hits.
Service has NOTHING to do with it.
You know how many idiots with blogs show up and claim they have a “service”?
The response is “Yeah, so does a funeral home.”
No, I understand completely. But you’re not getting the analogy. The would-be johns would be the equivalent of the users of FR, correct?
FreeRepublic would be analogous to, say, a convention site where hookers hang around. You’re with me here?
A PIMP would be someone who hangs around the convention to encourage a would-be john to purchase the services of a prostitute aka ANOTHER PERSON. A blogpimp would, for a fee, hang around FR and then get a cut of the blogger (analogous to the prostitue)’s revenue.
As opposed to a STREETWALKER/INDEPENDENT PROSTITUTE, who would be analogous to both the person on FreeRepublic driving traffic and the blogger.
