At the end of the day, we know most people are active on social networks because they have some reason for being there (be it to make a sale or to establish authority, for example), but through your regular interactions, you need to recognize that these are byproducts of your genuine and authentic involvement.

Todd Defren and Dell have both shared excellent examples to build from. Marketers have a responsibility to ensure that bloggers are providing disclosure and that statements are not misleading or unsubstantiated.

Your fellow blogger does not want you to see this because these simple tactics are guaranteed to help you make more money from blogging, and (possibly) reduce the potential income they can make themselves.
