		<description>These goofballs just paid me another $50 for another link. At least they finally secured their spreadsheet. Luckily I made &lt;a href=&quot;https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tvULUA9GCsaog4iiH_K69mA&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;a copy of the original&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>Yes, I was fully aware at the time I posted it that it might cost me next year&#039;s $50. To lower the probability of that happening, I intentionally didn&#039;t mention the word I was paid for nor link to their site in this post, which would generate the same kind of referrer trail that led me to their spreadsheet.</description>

		<description>You&#039;d better look out with this post, Erik. I know people who sold text links, made a post about it, and then the person that had bought the link cancelled the deal because they didn&#039;t want all the publicity. They were just looking for a link and didn&#039;t want people to know about it.</description>

		<description>Hi, I found your blog a few weeks back while doing a search on chin dimples - my second daughter who is now 9 weeks has a dimple on her chin that surprised us because neither me or my husband have one. I got curious and googled around, and among the various links I ran into, I landed on the post where you had your picture along with your newborn baby&#039;s, comparing the identical chins (very cute). I liked your blog and stayed. I suddenly feel compelled to say &quot;hi&quot;, maybe because this post of yours amused me so much - with the google spreadsheet being public! That&#039;s funny. Anyway, take care, and congrats on the beautiful family and gorgeous baby girl.</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://erikras.com/2008/03/29/blog-whoring/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;I might&lt;/a&gt;, yeah.  However, notice I didn&#039;t put any links at all in this post.

Yes, I also noticed that Zoë only got offered $35. Luckily I spent $15 on her album, so I think we&#039;re even.</description>

		<description>I found the link in your Bishop&#039;s Gambit post. Are you tempted to offer them other links to the same word where it appears in other posts you have written? Hell, for $100, won&#039;t you sell your soul and write a whole blog entry on their product?

And I noticed poor Zoë Keating only got $35.</description>
