					<description>As noted by my continued comments, I think very highly of your blog.  Heck, its my 1st stop of the day!  It has very good suggestions in an easy to read manner.  Keep up the good work.  If you think that you have reached the limit with free promotions, I say, by all means, go for it!

I fully plan on paying for exposure for my blog when it eventually gets out of its newbie stage and my writing style and content settle down.</description>

					<description>Hi Sunny,
                In my opinion if the goal of the blogger is to make money from the blog then at some point of time it is right to pay for Exposure.
I would pay for an exposure when my blog has significant amount of content and is relevant to the users from whom I want exposure.

Note: you should listen to one of the podcasts from shoemoney where he mentions about investing $40k and got back roughly $128k.

Let me know if you want I will give it you (podcast)

					<description>@Shawn: thanks, I'm flattered.  I do try to make this site enjoyable.  This one review is going to cost a lot of money but let's see if it's worth it.

@Vijay: I know what you mean.  The good thing about blogging is if you get traffic from your investments, you get more money out of what you put in if you play your cards right.  Also, I would like to hear the podcast, please give me the URL, thanks.</description>

					<description>I definitely think that paid reviews are beneficially.  I am definitely looking towards going that route.</description>

					<description>I think if you have a good enough product, and if you have confidence enough in yourself, to sustain the increase in traffic you receive from a review that paying for that review is a sound investment.</description>

					<description>@Pearl: thanks, just keep blogging and it'll slowly gain momentum.  But money talks and the more money you invest in your blog the greater it'll get.

@Matt: very true, right now I'm tweaking this site before I submit the request for that review.</description>
