Are you basing those counts just on the blog entry titles?

Because both of those blogs have gotten very clever about publishing a title and a couple paragraphs about an issue whose solution and/or conclusion is that a credit card sign up is the answer...and here is my affiliate link.

Eg,

Why Delta Miles Haven’t Suddenly Become ‘Great’ – But I Still Work Hard to Earn Them| 2014/08/28 (really a commercial for his DL Amex card affiliate link)

Great Deals Using British Airways Points for Short Flights All Over the World| 2014/08/27 (really a commercial for his BA Visa affiliate link)

Etc.
