Post edited 10:51 am – December 14, 2010 by Buck Inspire
Hey guys,
Just curious where people stand on putting ads or banners for friends for free, just to selflessly help them out. Would it lessen the blow if I mentioned, not getting paid, just helping out a friend? I noticed some cross linking with other personal finance blogs, but what if they were for online businesses?
Thanks! 
Buck

I personally don't think it is a sell out. Part of what makes the blogging community great is bloggers' willingness to help promote one another. That is one of the main goals of Yakezie. I would do. I have offered to do it for a few bloggers who have helped me out with suggestions on my blog.

I have Evan's Pregnancy Pool Badge on my site's homepage for free. I think it's nice to help out where I can.

It's never wrong to help a friend out by advertising for them. As long as you believe in the product, why not?

As long as I like the product, I wouldn't mind advertising, esp. if it is a friend or someone I know.

Everything is an exchange. Just because money wasn't exchanged doesn't mean value wasn't exchanged. I don't mind helping out fellow PFers and Yakeziers because I know that we both benefit from the exchange. :)

Looks like it's an overwhelming yes to help friends with free ads… Thanks everyone!

That's what networking is all about. Contractors recommend paiters who recommend plumbers who recommend mechanics, etc…
A free ad for a friend isn't a sellout.
Taking any ad that comes your way just for the money, even when you don't like the ad and it's morally qestionable – that's selling out.
