It will be interesting to see how this plays out. It may even be a winning strategy that the rest of us have to adopt in order to get some readership.
As we say in NZ 'It's worth a crack Nigel'.
I'll continue to comment on your posts as I get time, but count me out of your reward pool. You don't need to pay me to read your stuff. I already get a kick-back from the system when I upvote your posts. I'm happy with that.
Good luck with driving your real person readership up. Do you have any metrics of where you stand at the moment so you can compare in a months time or so?
