"Free Home Inspection"

I noticed an ad on the ActiveRain real estate network for "Free Home Inspection" a couple of days ago. Can home inspectors afford to do home inspections for free?

How?

BOGO? (it's a shoe thing... but shouldn't it be BOGOF?) Buy One Get One Free.

Find out Here <- a broken link

I clicked on the link and went to a page that says

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah we've all seen these before…

I found the company, the home inspector is a new member on ActiveRain, Steve Radabaugh of Preferred Property Inspection.

I sent Steve an email saying the link in the ad is not working. I wondered if his website was overwhelmed with traffic or just a bad link. Intrigued I had to look further… here's the Free Home Inspection Offer on Steve's website - Free Home Inspection The rest of the story! I don't know Steve., so I am not recommending Steve… (just because I don't know him) just bringing this offer to your attention. It seems to be a monthly offer.

It turned out the ActiveRain just had a bad link!

The ad is eye catching. "Free"

I thought I had bad links! in my post

Then I got it and laughed. No FCK editor on ActiveRain, He'd ended up with an extra http:// It happens to the best of us occasionally.

I was hiding links and links to images in private comments for awhile after the FCK editor fiasco on RT blogs but I pre write a lot of posts and I can't add a comment until it's published. Or I don't think I can.
