Because if you create content, you want to generate your own traffic.

It's just one click, and there's not even adds on his site.

Leighton has no interest in posting his experiences here on CEO as it would defeat the purpose of him offering links to his own business interests/website - CEO is an absolute gift for him to reap/generate hits. Personally, if I were Leighton, I'd be smart enough to actually contribute just a little content to CEO so as to at least give the impression I'm not completely self serving. Most of us learn early in life relationships regardless their form are most successful when there's an element of reciprocity involved.

I've never looked at his site and won't until he contributes something here.

Me too! Click to another site makes no sense. I only do that for porn.

FTFY.

Warning, very long read, but interesting if you are into reading or writing about food.

Food Porn
By Molly O'Neill
September 1, 2003
On a balmy May evening in 1997, I was at a bookstore in Santa Barbara, California, signing copies of my third cookbook. It wasn’t my best book, and nearly every chapter of it had previously appeared in my food column in The New York Times Magazine. Nevertheless, nearly two hundred people waited to pay me homage — as well as $26.95 for the book.

The magazine was one of the most powerful platforms for food writing in the nation and, to the people in line, I was a rock star. My mother, a sensible Ohioan, was with me that night and she was appalled. She stood near as fans gushed admiration for my prose and recipes.

Finally, as if unable to contain herself another second, my mother interrupted one woman’s compliments and asked: “Do you actually cook that stuff?”

I clicked on your website 15 times to make up for those above who did not click it.

Just caught up with this thread. It's always interesting to see people's responses to shared links. Thanks to the people who contributed to this thread and to those who got in touch to support the site. People really seem to get their knickers in a twist over self promotion. I spend a ludicrous amount of time writing travel articles, which of course I want people to read. I make little money from it, just about enough to cover my costs. I'm not "selling" anything. I'm in this for the right reasons, I just want to produce good travel content. I won't allow adds on the site and, at the end of the day, it's just shared information. I share it exclusively on my own platform so that I have full control over the design of my articles. I also want them to be as visually engaging as possible. People like Kung Fu Hillbilly, whose criticisms come with a tiring sense of inherent superiority complex, get so hung up on the fact that I want people to click on my site. So what? The assumption that I don't want to communicate with people any other way is false. Every day I contribute to various sites, comment threads and forums. I just don't have the time nor inclination to do that on every platform I'm involved with. It's an article, read it or don't read it. If you like it, maybe read some more. If you don't, give me a miss. If an administrator wants to block me from the site, that's their right. In the meantime, I'll just keep chugging away doing what I do. Thanks again everyone.
