Business and Blogging Satire:
.
The New Blog Commenting App Hits the Market!!!
.
.
It’s becoming all the rage in Business and blogging circles…commenting on as many blogs as possible in order to provide back-links to your own blog and website.
.
Yes, I have read countless articles in the past few months by bloggers expounding the virtues of this practice. Some by bloggers and businesspeople who comment on 50 posts a day. Some 75. And one guy? 100! Let’s figure 2 minutes to read each post and another to comment. That’s five hours a day! A full-time job in and of itself!
.
Yup, according to these writers and gurus of all things blogging and Biz, commenting on blogs is no longer something to do out of interest, congratulating a blogger on a job-well-done or providing opinion or feedback.
.
Nope, blog commenting is now a full-blown…
.
STRATEGY!
.
But ohhh you say with an audible groan. And you would be right. Yup, you want to comment on as many blogs as possible, but who in their right minds wants to read all of those pesky articles that others have spent their valuable time writing, carefully crafting, and injecting their acumen, knowledge, insight, tips and advice.
.
The good news? Now you don’t have to read them!
.
.
The New Blog Commenting App:
.

Man oh man! Am I glad I found your blog! Hell of an article! I mean what wisdom and insight! You are to be lauded and praised for your wisdom, and congratulations to your parents for having the foresight to bring a person of such exceptional wisdom as you into this world! PRAISE the day that your parents united in love and conveived you!
Your article has changed my life…no, "transformed" is a much better word…in ways I can’t even begin to explain or fathom. The way that you introduced the subject and spoke about it? I have no words to describe how I feel. Nope, no words. Only THANKS!

Thank you sir. One man’s insanity can oftentimes be another man’s logic.
Hope I made my point!

Nail on the head Heidi,
If it’s not genuine what is it worth? Any writer knows when a comment is just being used for strategic purposes. They usually look something like this;
“Great job!”
“Nice post!”
and
“Super!”
Thanks for reading and for commenting!

Rebecca,
I guess it is a matter of reading the articles. It is also true on Social Media sites that involve voting for blog posts. So many people vote but do people actually read the articles? Many cast votes en-mass in the hope that others will vote for them. Same principle I guess.

Ben,
It’s the thing about anti-Semitic comments and emails. If the person were right in front of you, you could throttle them. When they do it by email, there’s not much recourse except to close comments so things don’t get too nasty.
