Am I Having a Bad Dream?
Posted Sep 8, 2007 @ 4:36 am, Viewed by 298 Visitors, Read 303 Times.Can anybody confirm this? I've been extremely busy with some things and I jumped on Active Rain to post a quick blog and noticed all kinds of advertising including a HomesbyOwner.com banner directly to the right of the very blog that I was posting.
Are they seriously taking the chance of corrupting their system and becoming another R.com?

I've been corrected -- Advertising will not appear on the actual members blogs but in the community areas. The post was an initial reaction to logging in and seeing what appeared to be an ad for FSBO's to sell their own home --- which in reality is a service that advertises this and then provides the leads to agents who pay for the service. http://activerain.com/blogsview/197957/Please-Tell-ME-I I really have no problem with the creators of AR making some money just as long as it is done responsibly which it appears they are making an effort to do so. You have to admit, they have done a very good job and deserve to be rewarded.

It is true the Active Rain has made a decision to show advertising on their site, you should never be shown an ad on your own blog, did I read that right? The sections they show ads on are supposed to be public type sections, not individual users blogs.
