I stumbled on Ashley and Me on blogcatalog.com what a strange little site, on the face of it, you’d believe that it’s on mans tales of all the exiting experiences he’s has with his extra-marital affairs started through the Ashley Madison website which specializes as an introduction agency for married people who want to have affairs and ‘”discreet adult fun”.

Now, there’s nothing wrong with that for me (though not my thing). What I really don’t like about this blog is that it’s DISHONEST. Once you start reading the content it seems that this person is simply either writing (or more likely re-hashing) soft porn encounter stories.

So what is it then – it is simply a blog set up to push traffic to the Ashley Madison website based on pure fiction and lies. Somehow I picture a couple of rednecks playing with their boyhood fantasies (and probably themselves) and thinking they are going to make a fortune – maybe they think if they make enough money to join they can get to sleep with people they are not related to.

The reality is more likely that this person is probably someone (male or female) that describes themselves as a professional blogger – who has many such sites specifically written with their “personal experices” (i.e. made up personal experiences) of such affiliate programs – why in the hell can people not be honest. It really is pretty transparent to most readers…

If it is your thing and you have a suitable site – Ashley Madison offer an excellent affiliate program. I’m suprised they let a moron like this drive traffic to them through this type of low value content.

If I could give you any advice in writing a blogs, (be they for the purpose of making money or just for fun) it is this…

• Be honest and truthful – it builds trust and makes you believable
  
• Be yourself (unless you are a really dull character who can’t write – in which case, don’t bother starting a blog!)

This dishonesty is something I loathe about many bloggers – I’m getting laid, I’m making a fortune, I’m achieving everything I want in life because I’m blogging. In 99.9% of cases this is bullshit!
