But I know some of the more well-known blogger who had set up numerous accounts in order to get the exposure they have today. To me, it's not a huge deal and I don't see it to be unethical or anything.<BR/><BR/>Bottom line, blogging is like any other industry; there's a lot of competition out there, and to be successful it can be sink or swim. So if it gets more people to your fine blog, then what's the harm in it really? Like I said, some of the really successful bloggers do much worse than that!<BR/><BR/>Shine on,<BR/>AaronAaron Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487831830753964681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17209363.post-74206652716446273222007-08-27T16:26:00.000-04:002007-08-27T16:26:00.000-04:00I have some guilty about point #3. its so nice tha...I have some guilty about point #3. its so nice that you bought up this point and I'm going to avoid it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17209363.post-11699875748873632292007-08-23T19:34:00.000-04:002007-08-23T19:34:00.000-04:00Why thanks Ann!

And judging by the other comments on the subject, that appears to be the overall consensus.<BR/><BR/>I think there's a clear distinction between being desperate (for lack of a better term) and unethical. Utilizing a few little tricks here and there for some needed results is okay, however, doing something that is unethical in order to achieve them is not.<BR/><BR/>Desperate at times? Yes, and that's OK. Unethical? Never. And that's never OK.<BR/><BR/>Shine on,<BR/>AaronAaron Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487831830753964681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17209363.post-3943208869152706212007-08-19T22:44:00.000-04:002007-08-19T22:44:00.000-04:00Guilty at times of some minor indiscretions but no...Guilty at times of some minor indiscretions but nothing I would be too ashamed to mention.
