Yes Des, transparency is at the heart of everything now, whether or not you want to be transparent. As long as that’s in place, I see no problem people shilling for others. We can all make our own judgments on what we pay attention to…

Great to have these comments Ross – and thanks for your chairing of the blogging group. With the greatest respect to Mark and others who share the purist view, I think there are so many bloggers now being paid for blogging that a focus on transparency is a more helpful approach. And it is possible to write entertaining advertorial, as those of us old enough and living in Sydney at the time can testify about the famous Pettit and Sevitt “conversation” ads for their houses. Everyone read them, everyone enjoyed them, we all knew that P & S did them to get us to buy their houses.
Wanted to read RapidWeb’s comments but IE7 would not open the blog – the website yes, but not the blog.
