		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogherald.com/2007/11/20/there-is-nothing-like-a-good-conspiracy/#comment-350164&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Tina Anderson&lt;/a&gt;:

Whether you &quot;buy them&quot; or not, some element of conspiracy attracts attention, thus bloggers use them to motivate click throughs to their blogs.

Not long ago, many bloggers wrote &quot;sensational&quot; articles covering the issue of commercial WordPress Themes called &quot;Premium&quot; versus spam-filled, link abused Themes, grouping them together even though there was no &quot;grouping&quot; as they are two different groups. But titling and filling their posts with accusations created a controversy and suspected conspiracy though few recognized it as such. It was a &quot;debate of interest&quot; even though it was built on misconceptions, assumptions, and no fact nor truth. 

In order to recognize a conspiracy and unnecessary controversy when they appear, we have to know what what looks like. That was the purpose of this article series - as well as offering tips on how to go controversial if that is your goal. It&#039;s an art form - often tainted but still a writing and publishing art.</description>
