Advertising payday loans in a post on blog

[RedGurnard]

AIBU to have been very at a post on a "mummyblog" (god I hate that word) advertising payday loans?

No I would be too but perhaps context?

oh you must link so we can judge

Don't want to link but google cashloans.org.uk and the word baby and the blog is on the first page of hits.

Some bloggers don't have a choice over which company advertises. I refuse to let any company advertise on my blog but that's my choice.

ah, got it

okay, post is clearly labelled as ''sponsored'' so no biggie

I agree with boys. Sponsors are different I thought you meant they were personally advocating and talking about it on their blog

I just don't think I can believe that someone would allow a company like that to post on their blog. To me, she is endorsing them.

um, yes, she IS endorsing them, hence the disclaimer that the post is sponsored

clicky me

But why would you want to advertise a company that targets vulnerable people on your blog?!

Pay day loans are all well and good if you have the money to pay them back. Let's face it, if you're taking out a pay day loan the chances are that you don't. These companies make their money out of charging people extortionate rates of interest and spiralling them further into debt.

It just doesn't sit easy with me. I don't know how she could lower her standards so much.

income stream, that's all

she's making money, praps not how you or I might want to, but is open and honest about it

I do get what you saying, of course I do

You have such a calming influence BoysAreLikeDogs :)
