Jim,
Really a good point. I share blog items when they are filled with content or are enjoyable to read. It has to be an easy process to share. If it is too time consuming, I don’t bother.

Great article, and I agree. Being on Ehow and a member that comments on others articles really magnifies YOUR point.

I have about 42 pages of comments I’ve left on other’s articles. From that I see EXACTLY what you are talking about. The authors that offer the most unique, quality information are returned to again and again by others.

The same is true in blogging websites.

Thanks for another wonderful article and chance to get a wonderful do follow!

Jeremiah,

There’s no need for websites or blogs to be complicated – yet many of them place hurdles between Internet users and their content.

I personally REALLY, REALLY dislike those pop-up boxes some people use, which ask you to sign-up for a newsletter. I see that on a site and not only will I not enter the site, I won’t recommend it to anyone either.

Nice and easy!

Internet users are apathetic. They don’t want to work. So I think “Make it easy to share” is a great point, considering that the easier it is for someone to share your content, the more apt they will be to do so, if you take into consideration Internet user’s being apathetic. Great tip!

paul dont get it. The stuff hes talking about is what makes blogs seem to impersonal. Filling a blog or website with generic ’special reports’ and such is a waste of time. People want quality.

Gerry,

I’m assuming you are referring Paul’s product mention / link?

I was happy to let it through, because Paul made a valid point.

Spam is an emotive word and a bit over-the-top for that comment.

Paul. That sounds spammy.

Just to add a quick thought. “Content” doesn’t always need to be articles. For example, in my case, I offer viral Twitter software for free.

Hopefully the software is useful for helping people to generate traffic and “buzz”, which will in turn get more people coming to my site.

In other words, “content” can also be reports, ebooks, software and tools.

I appreciate your tips. I would much rather read a blog that has something of value on it than a blog that is updated daily just to look busy and important! Quality is always better than quantity.

Gebadia,

I’m not sure what you disagree with here. Was your comment intended for my previous post? Trust is key, more so in times like these; where people are having to think hard before making a buying decision.
