As "Ben" (Ben Martin) pointed out how to lose his interest in reading a blogs, I would like to add to that list. In addition to every blog in the world going absolutely crazy with advertising and Google ads, my latest annoyance is shameless plugs about your products or services. This just gets very old, very quick. I'll make one compromise: if you are talking about something relevant to your product and/or services and want to make a very subtle plug about what you've done, ok…but do NOT do that in every other post. It is absolutely obnoxious. You will without a doubt lose our readership, as well as many others. Please continue to blog, but without shameless self promotion. It is a definite no, no.
