It links to "Laurel's Blogg" and then times thorough to the actual article.

And I've got to say, the article seems a really thin filler to justify a google ad well. :-/

I regret to say that I'm not sure the post will last because the article it links to is from 2006 and is kind of thin for a fpp.

NB. Susan, this is the second time you've linked to weird SEO-obsessed 'earn money by writing from home' sites. The last one was deleted & I expect this one will be too. You're starting to look like a spammer.

You said in your post to metatalk on the topic

All right, thanks for all your help. I have had enough. I want to start a project about freelance writing. May I have the opportunity to do anything like that? I was frustrated to see many writers getting too low wages for their hard work, and this post had summed it up pretty well; that's the reason why I tried to let the world know of it. Why else would I do that? It's sad MeFi doesn't recognize content creators like us. You are all about politics, weird stories, comics, and stuff like that? It's sad.

Metafilter is not the place to promote your pet project, whatever it happens to be. If you want to mention your own blog, post to projects.

If you have something substantive to post about writing from home, then you'll need to do a lot better than this: a single link post to a SEO site just isn't acceptable.

Susan, if you're wanting to craft posts about freelance writing, you're going to have to do so in a way that doesn't scream "SPAMMER!"... I've seen your previous deleted posts and your MetaTalk post, and you come across as someone who is sincere but confused about how Metafilter works. I hope you'll be able to find your way.

Metafilter is in my clips file. I have earned $0 as a freelancer, just so you can put those together.
