Blogpimping is when someone uses an aggregator site like FR to promote their own musings.

I don't have blog, nor do I have an affiliation or financial interest in the articles I post on FR.

But I do believe that authors whose work I share on FR - because I think they have something interesting to say - should be able to reap the benefits of their work by having FR traffic directed to the site where their work was originally posted, as some of those authors are compensated by how much traffic their articles generate.

Polite and responsible people excerpt and link.

And they don't hijack threads.

The very fact you posted an unnecessary excerpt is why this thread was hijacked.

Had you posted correctly, this thread might have had promise. Had I not questioned you, this thread would be at 1 - maybe two replies.

See post #9 - JR, the owner of this site, is explicitly against excerpting for the purpose of driving hits to the original site. His house, his rules.
