Lest say you have a website that generates income by reviewing hardware, and ad placement.



I am the supplier of your hardware for review, and I give you the hardware for a nominal price and you are free to sell it after, but only as long as you give me a positive review, and only review products I OK.


Now leats say that another company wants to have you review their hardware, I learn of it and tell you that I will give you the hardware for free, and provide a vacation for your family and trips to my events for free. Hell, I will buy you a condo and a new car.

If the other company matches it to a reasonable point, I tell you that if you review their hardware in a favorable light compared to my hardware I will take everything away and put you in a bad light, make you pay full price for your review hardware and trash your name.


Would this be OK with you, after all, I am only trying to keep money in my business.
