Technorati tags: professional bloggers , affiliate marketingAs I delve deeper and deeper into marketing I was bound to keep stumbling on some really interesting sites that have turned me upside down. On ProBlogger , Darren Rowse discusses how he has made some pretty good coin off of his blog by partnering with an e-book publisher and using affiliate marketing. Interesting stuff but does this cross the lines of what blogging should really be? The mreo we get into ad-related blogs, aren't we taking away a key component of blogging? guess that is long gone.
