I am writing the above with respect - I do the exact same thing, re-use and re-cycle great content as often as you can, it's a might harder to create the story than to perpetuate it and market it.
yeah, it's been written about before, but I wanted to clarify the exact steps that I took, as the previous articles have been a bit hazy. Per the Pando article "Using a handful of techniques that he still seems to shy away from talking about" and as you highlight, an "adwords hack" is a very bad description.
I haven't read that article from PG, I'll definitely check it out!
I also don't know if it would apply here. As these are "native" ads to LinkedIn. They don't really label them as ads much. I guess if the <div> mentions ads then it might be blocked.
Which is why I qualified it with "within the tech circle", I'd be really surprised if the precentage of Ad block users on this forum was less than 80%.
The story starts in 2012 when it was a "Adwords hack" ->

The basics are covered brilliantly in PG's "The Submarine" if you haven't seen it http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html
