Shame on you for accusing the author of ‘blog pimping’’ when the blog owner has done no such thing. Click the link. LOOK clearly at the blog and SEE that the owner removed the prefacing remarks leaving the Hohmann article alone on the page, fully attributed to him as it has been from the beginning.

You even changed the author's title to one of your own choosing and then posted the article in its entirety.

If I am wrong, I will certainly apologize.

"Blog pimping" is when the owner of a blog posts a snippet on FR so he can drive traffic to his blog.

It's bad enough just to drive traffic to a blog, but it is reprehensible when the blog to which traffic is being driven has stolen an article from another author's website in its entirety.

That's not kosher...and it's probably illegal (copyright violation).

And it doesn't make it any better just because other people do it. Yo momma would have some choice words for that.
