Using a Blog for Advertising. Not a Good Idea?

I've been told that I need to give this idea up. But I want to state that I would rather try and fail than not try at all.

I've had an individual, who will remain unnamed, ask me to give up this idea of another free UL advertising site. Now the way I see it is that putting anything up for sale and selling it quick requires exposure. So, the more places you can post it for sale without any cost the better.

Also, in our correspondence I refered to me being competition for another well known site. The truth is that I will only be complimenting them by giving people a place to get more exposure for their ultralight plane items.

I know what you're saying, "How can you give as much coverage as this unnamed site?" I don't have to. I'm adding to it for no more cost. People do come here to read and as time comes along more will and those ads will get exposure. Eventually I will launch a separate page just for the ads with a link to this one.

Well, that is my take on this situation.
