The Unspoken Pact of the Blogger
As bloggers, we have an unspoken pact. No, it isn't anything as cool as the Harry Potter one -- though that would be cool -- it's far more sinister (evil laugh)!!!
You see, as bloggers we have a sacred duty, a solemn task , an awesome power, a duty and a calling, a whole wheat on rye . . .
Guess what it is yet? No?
We click on each others ads!!!
Why would one do this, may you ask. After all, isn't that cheating? And, after all, what do I want with a soy cappuccino machine or a blog selling comic books anyway?
My son (or daughter) let me tell you a little story.
You see, once upon a time, there was a company named Google. When they first started out, they provided a valuable service to the internet at large. Because of them, no one had to look in a magazine or use the useless Webcrawler enginefor their website address anymore. Instead, they could just type it into the amazing google engine. All the children were happy now because they could now google their names or look at asian porn to their hearts content.
But, one day, an evil witch called capitalism came and infected good Google with a virus called "greed". Instead of providing a valuable service to internet users everywhere, Google began to advertise. And, instead of being good, helpful advertisements about things people might want to buy, they posted useless worthless crap nobody wanted. All of the people were sad.
One day, future twits came by and told the people how to be happy again. Google, in order to push their worthless crap, had decided to start posting their advertisements on their users blogs -- in exchange for a small "royalty" every time someone clicked one of the ads. The evil thing about it (and why Google is so evil in general) is that nobody clicked on the ads because nobody wanted the crap in the ads. So, Google got rich while the peasants starved.
That's where future twits comes in.
The only way to fight against the Google monster is to click on other people's ads -- kind of like a cooperative. See, if I click on your ads, and you click on my ads, eventually we'll get to 100$ and stupid Google will have to actually send us a check, as opposed to all of us working like fools for free.
If you didn't read all this, I don't blame you. Allow me to summarize.
Click on my ads (and I will click on yours in return next time I visit your blog)
Together, we can defeat the Google empire and make them spend the 14 billion or so they have in cash right now! Don't believe me? See for yourself
The end!!!
On a serious note: I actually always do click on at least one ad every time (or every other time) that I visit someone's blog that has ads. I appreciate the effort that you put into your writing, and I want to support it. And, I want to screw with Google a bit :) Everyone needs latte (or cocoa) money.
