Of course; I am trying to get people to our site. But this is not an advertisement at all. If it was, TYT would take it down in a second. Do you know how huge they are?
The thing is, what does TYT lose from this? I do not earn from the ads here...I do not earn anyway by posting one of my articles here. TYT get free content from us and I get a chance to beg you guys to come to our site.
Let me put it this way, if you want to post articles on my site, be my guest. You can also link it back to your site if you want. I earn the ads from my site and you got your link. If you want to hyperlink it here, no problem too... :) Why? Because I get a free article with tags; all to gain and only to lose if it is very offensive or illegal. Same with me and TYT.
I am like a busker that is begging you guys to come to my concert. Sounds pathetic but true. Happens in blogs and news sites all the time, but it is usually in the form of comments that directly link back to our site. (BBC, CNN, Reuters, etc)
