Why am I blogging about Panama hotels?
Saturday, January 9, 2010
This is another one of those pay per post deals, where I get a couple of bucks for mentioning a product. But this is a weird one, because I'm not supposed to mention the actual company name or any of their competitors. I'm just supposed to use the phrase Panama hotels. And I just did, so my work here is essentially done... Although this post is also supposed to be 200 words long, and doing a quick word count I see that I'm only up to 86. Oh, dear. How do we stretch this baby out? What am I supposed to say to pad this post, to make it reach the required minimum word count so that I can get a couple of bucks for mentioning Panama hotels?
Well, now we're up to 132. Still a ways to go. Jeez, this is harder than it looks. I could use a relaxing trip to Panama. Ah, Panama! So lovely this time of year. At least, I assume it is. I've never actually been to Panama and frankly I don't know diddly about Panama hotels. But I don't have to know anything about Panama hotels, I just have to mention them in this post and then keep writing for 200 words. And I have.

I've been reading P.G. Wodehouse lately, and there was something vaguely reminiscent about his style in that post. In other words, I could imagine something like that coming out of the mouth of Bertie Wooster. And I mean that in a good way.
And if you need proof of the effectiveness of your efforts in order to attract potential sponsors, please feel free to cut and paste the following:
Reading this post made me more interested in Panama hotels than I have ever been before.
Well, that's just about the nicest way anybody could interpret my half-assed attempt to sell out! Thank you. Expect more Woosterish rambling the next time I get one of these offers.
