Free Blogs

The links at the top of the blog are not in the way of any content that is added to the individual blog. If the links at the top of the blog are too much for you to handle than you should go find another FREE service and make a blog there or better yet you can go buy a domain name and pay whatever that fee is and convert YOUR hard generated traffic into cold hard cash. I'm not forcing anyone to use my service I just offer it to people who would like to use it. Good luck to you.

And you know those little links you add to the top of the blogs are in prime advertising space and that you will get more traffic from those links than any of the other links that are on the page.

Yes, you are offering a service but you are profiting from that service. You are able to profit from that service so don't try to tell me how hard it is to convert that traffic.

I do own my own sites, my own domains and pay for my own hosting. I do know how difficult it is to generate and convert traffic.

I'm just looking for some truth in advertising like I'll host your blog but I get 10% of the traffic for whatever I want. Or I don't want your money, I want your sweat.

Why not explain how someone who uses your service could lose everything they've worked to build because you decide you want out of the business, or to sell the domain or any other business decision you may make about YOUR site.

How many people lost years of work when blogger stopped allowing adult? How much money did people lose when thumbblogger was hacked?

Your service may not cost any out of pocket cash but it is a long way from being FREE.
