First of all let me say this. You are a very brave man. A blog about Web hosting is an incredibly brave thing to do. Why? because it is so boring.
I'm thinking what on earth is there to say about web hosting companies? Ok, some are Good and some are bad some charge you a realistic price for services and others trick you into thinking you have a good deal, when the reality is that, they are ripping you of big time. So after you share your personal experiences with these companies then what? what could you possibly say to keep your blog relevant and focused?
If this blog were mine. I would have burned up all my reserves by the time I wrote my 5th post.However, this is no ordinary blogger that runs this blog. Its the Turnip of power! (drum roll) tan...tan...tanaa!
This turnip guy is one of the most consistent Entrecarders on the Entrecard network, and he was blogging when some of us still thought owning a PC was a waste of time and money.
Truth be told, I would never in the real world actively read bluetrick.com everyday. And I don't believe that is what the Author set out to achieve.
Bluetrick.com is Affiliate marketing in its sleekest most sublime form. The website is not designed for daily readership ( in my opinion) but is rather optimised to pick up ordinary Joe's who are looking for a web host. I believe bluetrick.co m is trying to pick up organic traffic from search engines. Next time I'm looking for a host I will certainly return to read this one.
Blogging about web hosts is boring. Its as boring as being forced to watch reruns of Agatha Christies Poirot. However, for all I know its probably an affiliate marketing Gold mine. For what other reason would the almighty Turnip of Power poke his nose into such murky waters? its all about the money. Are you freakin kidding me.!

Actually, it's not top's blog. he wrote an article for me, which he promptly turned around and republished on his site. i just haven't had the chance to change everything around it yet. i'm actually pissed off at him.....grrrrrrr...
sorry to hear that. If i had that information your review would have been much more interesting.
When I stop laughing I should be able to compose my thoughts again. The blog owner approached me to write an article and throw in my affiliate links. Something I was more than happy to do. He then butchered my article with his ideas of what a good article should be. Seeing as he had written 2 blog posts in his entire life, I was already regretting having agreed to his request. Once he posted my article, he proceeded to buy a bunch of stumbles for his site. Then for some unexplained reason he went to my site and clicked on my adsense ad 16 times. Why? I don't know. I think he wanted to impress me with his traffic. 2 weeks later I reposted my original article because I had a medical emergency and couldn't write any new content. Suddenly Mr Internet expert started sending me messages about how we were all doomed and that google would send us all to hell for duplicate content, even though the two articles differer significantly.
In the end I signed up 2 people from running the article on my site. Zero people from Bluetricks fantastic advertising blitz. I've now learned my lesson about backlink offers that are too good to be true. BTW, a simple "whois" would show my domains are all hosted on Bluehost. Usually you can find them in my blogroll as well.
thanks for the insight into blue trick
