Hell hath no fury like a bunch of misguided MilwaukeeMoms

My friend who posts at the mom-oriented blog Charliesaurus made the mistake of following my advice and trying to promote her blog by leaving comments on various sites around the Internet.

(Don’t pretend you haven’t done the same thing. If you haven’t, viagra sale and you probably don’t have much of a readership. ;))

One of the sites she choose was MilwaukeeMoms: a division of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Journal Communications.

By making posts that lead back to her site, discount viagra store she apparently ran afoul of a prohibition against promoting your business on MilwaukeeMoms‘ discussion groups.

Now, Charliesaurus.com is not a business. (She did have some affiliate links on her site, but she immediately removed them to try to be in compliance with MilwaukeeMom’s rules.) But that didn’t save her from a righteous tongue-lashing from sanctimonious moms pissed that she had the nerve to link to her blog from their sacred site.

What I find most amusing, is they did their ranting against her supposed self-promotion on pages filled with banner ads for J.C. Penny, Ford cars, and USA Baby.

I guess they’re too busy protecting their little community from the evils of self-promoting bloggers to notice that the only ones making money off them are the people who own the site they’re trying to protect.
