This is a two year old post and they didn’t have a bad BBB ranking when I wrote the post. If you were a follower back when I was promoting them regularly you would know that the credits I earned through their program were used to “buy” products that I gave away on my blog. I promoted them because I liked them but you don’t have to believe me. I DO make money from my blog and I’m open about that but I can promise you I didn’t make my “millions” from NoMoreRack.

Ahh I just looked up your advertising for them in which you encourage people to buy from them and refer them to their friends. So counting if you have a following that actually reads your blog and clicks on the link then you have made money from them.

Hmmm….. Again I stand by the comment that most blogger have a bias and a personal interest (financial gain) in promoting the company. I also researched where the company has did this deceitful type of practice before under assumed names. This is sad that this practice continues and undermines the confidence people have in supposedly independent bloggers. Maybe more blogger should be more concern about their readers then promoting companies that rate a D- from the BBB. They would find that when people see through them, they lose people confidence as well as their interest in their blogs.

An intensive advertisement? lol I wish I got paid what you think I did. Maybe I should update this post because I’m currently waiting on a Christmas gift to arrive that I ordered months and months ago. I should contact them to follow up but I haven’t yet.

Your reputation get tarnished because so many companies pay bloggers in incentives and advertisements to put in positive reviews about the company. In fact, NoMoreRack has done an intensive advertisement on your site. This could be construed as being bias toward a advertiser. Rather or not you fall into that category, you open yourself up to criticism when you endorse a company that has so many problems. I would be hesitant to give you any credibility of having an unbiased opinion when you are being supported by the company in question. It is almost is in the range of a paid celebrity spouting praises for a company in a infomercial.
As for checking with the BBB, they have been given a D- rating terms of their service and consumer complaints.

I didn’t realize I was staking my entire reputation on my opinion of this company. These are my legitimate, honest thoughts and experiences with this company. To say anything other wise would be lying. “Take a few minutes to check it out” means just that. Check it out and do your own research for yourself. See? I’m not telling you to invest your money or buy stock, I’m saying to see for yourself if it’s something you want to take part in. Research it on the BBB and read reviews. It’s ultimately your decision, I was just sharing about a good experience I had. I’m sorry that you feel I’ve tarnished my reputation because of it.
