A Suggestion for Bloggers Who Post at FR

[Admin Moderator]

Your contributions are appreciated but many here correctly assume that when you post an excerpt to your blog that you're looking for hits for financial gain, especially those of you who rarely comment.

A suggestion from this moderator: Post full text from you blog and ask nicely for a hit to your link.

Freepers will treat you much more kindly if you heed this advice.

I don’t have a blog.. or facebook.. all I do is twitter...sighs.

[humblegunner]

At what point do you cross over from being vanity blog to respected source?

It almost never happens. Especially for folks that write "anythig".

I mean, at what point am I more trustworthy than the NYT?

I don't see it happening. Sorry.

I've already answered most of your questions/accusations in my earlier response to this thread but I do take exception to your accusation of my site being virus-laden/disease-laden.

Are you so jealous of those that actually create content instead of criticizing and trying to intimidate those who do that you've advanced to fear mongering with false allegations?

... all I do is twitter ...

They have excellent medications for that malady. I've seen the ads on late night TV.

[humblegunner]

If you posted the full content then the diseases at your blog
would be a complete non-issue, wouldn’t they? But you want
hits from us, don’t you? Need those precious hits, ohhhh preciousssss....

“I mean, at what point am I more trustworthy than the NYT?”

I think the tradition has it the day you turned 7 years old.

Another helpful hint would be to either master the English language or hire a competent translator. I’ve given up trying to read some posts. English is a tough language to learn for non-native speakers and I’m not being critical but there is little point in posting in an unintelligible patois.

[Mmogamer]

What’s wrong with hits?

[Mmogamer]

Do they have creams or pills?

[CaroleL]

More lies about phantom diseases and my wanting hits instead of wanting to protect my original content.

I'll go back to ignoring you now and you can continue your pathetic obsession.

I always post my blog articles in full. But I always excerpt my comments. The reason for that is... Excerpted. Read more at myworthlessblog.com

You do that and more power to you.

The real issue is will you continue using Free Republic as a blog hit farm?

[Larry Lucido]

Wait, what? I thought I was going to Widgets and Peonies! I was hijacked, I tell ya!

[50mm]

And elixirs and potions.

This was a suggestion, not an order. Take it for what it’s worth to you.

[Mmogamer]

LOL!

[BunnySlippers]

Thanks for speaking up on this issue.

[humblegunner]

This was a suggestion, not an order.

Yes, but I've heard there are some folks around here
that get downright pissy about that blogpimping stuff.

Stories and tales I've heard, none of 'em cheery.

[CaroleL]

I understand and I appreciate the opportunity to air the issue outside of a political thread.

When I get the snide comments as responses to my excerpts I just ignore them rather than annoy the people participating in the political discussion with this stuff.

[Col Freeper]

Dang right. With midgets and ponies, you'll never run out of material.

LOL,

When I read this, my mind "pre-read" it as "With midgets and ponies, you'll never run short on material".

Of course, I knew instantly that I was reading it wrong, because you would never sink to the (my) level of making a bad joke about midgets, like say, humblegunner would. He's a really bad boy, bad to the bone.
