As my blog post grows in number, I received e-mails of inquiry from different people wanting to post on my blog. As I thought it will be a good sign to gain more traffic to my blog, I allowed them to post on my blog. Later, I realized that I should not let them post for free in my blog. I found out that they should have been paying me instead because their blog post have do follow links to their company. One of my blogger friends told me that I was cheated because I should receive payment for the traffic that they have been getting from my site and for the exposure. Those things make me more careful now when people ask something to me when it comes to my website.

I am sorry that happened. But people nowadays will always take advantage of your kindness as long as they can profit from it.

I think you have control of your blogs and could delete those.
