[...] During the blog monetization session over at the currently-running WordCamp 2006, Kevin Burton of TailRank raised (yet again) the issue of Text Link Ads (TLA) being a form of domain spam, a.k.a. black hat SEO. [...]

Darren,
It was a great session. You can catch my notes over on The Blog Herald. I didn’t do Pat justice but he did an awesome job. Thanks again Pat had a great time yaking with you about some of these things.

I would love to snag an invite to your system btw.

I was presenting at the same time Pat was so I missed the session. Sorry, Pat!

Darren, thanks for the mention. I’m about to start speaking in an hour, and you’re missing out on a good Wordcamp.

Elby, I actually wrote that post last night straight out of my own experiences with blogging and working for a company that works with bloggers and web site publishers.

I do read Problogger when I can and I’m a big fan of Darren’s, but I didn’t intend to copy his post. I probably read it in December, but I wrote mine late last night in a rush to prepare myself for my discussion at Wordcamp. Those were the top 10 things on my mind.

I’ll add a link to Darren’s post in mine, it’s good stuff. Time to go speak.

This is the first I have heard of WordCamp but would love to go. Unfortunately this is not a good time for me to pickup and go anywhere since I just got married. But I hope that it is a great time for all who can attend and I would love to hear from some bloggers that had a chance to go.

Elby – I don’t know Pat but I wouldn’t have thought anyone would have needed to read my post to come up with what he wrote. It’s a good basic list of things that I’m sure many people have written about.

I appreciate your concern and for looking out for me though but I’m sure Pat’s written this out of his own experience on the topic of making money from blogs.

Darren I would say that that post of Pat’s is a lot more than ’similar’ to yours. When I read it half an hour ago before reading your post I immediately thought of your post. Coincidence? I’m not convinced.

It looks to me like it’s in almost the same structure and even a similar order. I found it a little strange and wondered whether he had used your article as a base for his and was surprised that he didn’t at least link to you as someone writing on the topic that they are presenting on.
