Creating a Shit Storm – The Next Marketing Wave?
"Thanks for your thoughts, Jackie. As a moderator, I personally lost several hours of sleep several days in a row - for well over a week - due to the utter stupidity of the "author". For me (alone), the best thing is for it just to "go away" - so I can again sleep. The whole mess sickens me.

"What a co-inky-dink! I "protected" my tweets Friday so I have to approve who follows (like FB). This afternoon (before seeing this) I spent 5 hours going through my twitter follows/followers. I carefully eliminated them 1-by-1 based on too many tweets dominating my page (only 5, because I'd been keeping them off in the 1st place), and more importantly on who They followed (about 150 eliminated). If they followed weirdos, idiots, spammers, or porno - they were gone (regardless of their personal reputation). I started w/slightly over 200 of each, and now have 50 left - manageable. A couple weeks ago I saw that I was "following" a marijuana site, which alerted me to the fact that these people morphed AFTER I followed them. The shining example was a big-shot businessman with 155,000 followers who only followed 43 people - friends, family & business associates? NO, of 43 people he chose to follow, one was Snooki!! (He was gone just from the disparity in numbers anyway). Those following over 10K were all suspect - they carefully checked each & every one?? NO, they auto-followed, and then forgot - or they bought 'em. My reason? My picture & My name are on my twitter page, and I don't want to be dragged through the mud with those that don't do their due diligence. Duncan"What is nofollow?
"Hi Barney. I know less about this than anyone, but there definitely are several reasons why do-follow can present SEO problems - this was articulated by Alastair of SiteStreamSEO some 236 days ago in this article: "NoFollow vs DoFollow Blogs and Your SEO" If you type this in the search bar it'll come up. It's definitely worth your time - the reasons may surprise you. Duncan"Friday Tips for Keeps: How to Entice Your Readers to Retweet Your Content
"Hi Ana. I saw this re-tweet box once before during the still ongoing blogging traffic contest - It seems to want me to share all my followers instead of actually just re-tweeting this one single post. Kind of gives me the heebee-jeebees! Duncan "5 Deadliest Blogging Mistakes You Should Avoid at All Costs
"Hi Wong. I especially like #3, disagreeing with yourself. Years ago, I used to watch "The People's Court" late at night. In a span of less than 10 days, she did a complete "180" in her ruling. I figure if a judge can't have a clear-cut set of values, something's really wrong somewhere. I never watched it again. Duncan"Subscribe
