The concept is similar to Alex Tew's Million Dollar website but is exclusively forblogs. Dr Amjad Rafiq who is behind the website explained that despite many attemptsby others to mimic the success of Tew's website, none of them have brought anyoriginality. He stated that there is still a huge scope for this form of advertisingto be utilised to great success. Dr Rafiq explained that a number of well knownsavvy marketers currently offer this same type of advertising on their personalblogs and have met with success.
Blogging has exploded in the past two years and at present there is a very huge,rich and diverse content base.
