TOPIC: Rain maker upgrade

Quite a few of us have an ActiveRain account.  I just received a call promoting an upgrade to (I think she called it) Rain Maker account.  It costs $39/month. (The promotion is that the first month is $1.)  Any of you have any experience with this?  Is it worth the money?
Thanks.

Not worth the money. Just blog on your free account and more importantly, on your website.

Thanks Dominic.  A follow up question; Someone from active rain emailed me (among other things) the following: "If you are not a rainmaker, your posts are members only and the search engines see none of the content, and none of links, meaning they don't follow them back to your site and you don't get credit."
Does that make sense?  How is the information hidden from the search engines?

They use no follow tags so the search engines ignore them. Your $40 is better spent getting another site with us named for a specific city and dominating google with it.

Plus, you'd have $15 left to grab lunch with.

That is good advice.  I may not do it right away, or depending how it goes I may not do it at all but this gives me good justification to not have a rainmaker account.  Thank you.
