My Feed reader showed a promising title: The 11 Biggest Mistakes Small Business Bloggers Make. Hm … I normally prefer to read full feeds,
but the title looks promising, let’s read it. Click, load, here we are:
Business Blog Consulting. But wait … this is just a pitch
to take the reader to his other site, where after registration one can
actually download the article.
Well, Rich, you just taught me
what the 12th biggest mistake bloggers make is: writing teaser
posts and sending your readers to a site without warning them it’s by
registration only:-(

Zoli,
I appreciate the feedback. I had posted the article to my own company’s blog first, but then been asked by Business Blog Consulting’s owner to add the post to the BBC site as well. I’m guessing that’s the feed you got because that feed offers only a snippet and my own is the full post.
I actually was on the fence on whether or not to mention that you needed to subscribe to our free email newsletter to get the article or not.
I guess I just see so many other organizations that post white papers or articles for download that require some sort of sign in that I decided against it.
Sounds like maybe I made a mistake. Thanks for calling me on it!
(On the plus side, for people who do register, there are two other articles available for download there as well.)
Take care,
Rich
