I know I’m not one of the “big name” bloggers, but guess what, I’m not completely stupid. Some people have been trying to come on this blog and (pretty much) get free advertising. If you read my disclaimer, you will see that no advertising is allowed in the comment section. I do not mind people who love a product or website raving about it, but other things have been going on. Sneaky things.
I do not appreciate people coming here and posting, pretending to be a customer of a certain business, when you are the owner of said company/website. I also do not appreciate people pretending to be more than one person to “back up” their viewpoint on issues. Please be an adult. And remember that I can see your IP addresses and emails.
I hate to sound harsh and I like to think that I am a nice person, but stuff like this really gets to me. Especially when I have a business owner series that is pretty much free advertising and showcases businesses.
If you do want to advertise legitimately, contact me. I just recently had to take down my blog from my sig over on LHCF. Do I mind? No…because that is their rule. And I’m going to respect it.
Please respect my wishes.
I am easily approachable and, as I said above, will feature many businesses here. I understand that people are trying to get their “hustle” on, but I don’t appreciate duplicity.

I do appreciate you for the lovely features. Come on cyber world! Please respect this blogging space. She is truly sweet and open to helping our businesses out. That’s what it’s all about Newly! Thanks for all you do!
Wow, that’s not cool @ all…I’m thinking that they DON’T want to use your business owner’s series is because in “their minds” it’ll be much better to fake us THE CONSUMER to believe their products are top if enuff positive reviews are made on it,don’t be deceiving, if you as an owner feel ur products are good, enuff LEGIT word will get around & u will reap the just due benefits of it!!!Don’t be a Loser…
C’mon y’all, don’t mess up a good thing, it is hard enough for us to find good, reliable information re our hair cuz we sho aint gon get it from ABC,CBS or NBC so let’s just respect each other and this site. Thanks.
You tell ‘em, girl!
Oh wow! I’m really surprised someone would do that. To whoever is doing that, you’re better off giving out samples and letting people do real reviews. Those fake reviews are always so obvious and that can backfire.
Being deceitful is not cool. What’s done in the dark always comes to light.
I have had the same thing happen on my blog KCurly. I’ve just been deleting these comments, and adding them to my spam list. It really isn’t cool! I hope this message gets them to stop coming here!
You’re not one of the big name bloggers??? Stop it!!! You’re on every good blogger’s roll…and the information here is PRICELESS!!! You’re definitely at the top of my list!
What is wrong with the world? SMH
I had the same thing happen to me just this past week. I thought it odd, until I saw their signature & e-mail address. It’s definitely not cool…and frankly not smart in my book. So glad you took the time to post about it!!!
I think you are a big-time blogger! No matter if you have 3 or 3,000 followers, as long as the information is helpful and there’s creativity, I’m down.
I don’t think you sound harsh. It needed to be said, go honey.
