I assure you I'm no spammer and if a site thinks I am because of my KW/URL then I just don't post there. I'm a writer at AgentGenius, here's today's post: http://agentgenius.com/real-estate-technology-new-media/turning-leads-into-clients/ Again, since MANY people hosting blogs and out there blogging are SEO people, it's really preaching to the choir to advise them that they are wasting a lot of backlinks by anchoring them with their NAME. Now if one has a KW as their name (like me) and their "posts" look like: "Interesting ideas" Then THIS is SPAM. :) Rob Jim:

What's your view on the negative impact it has, on the way people view your comments; knowing that you are loading the hyper link for seo? It doesn't bother me, but I know many people refuse to publish comments loaded that way. Rob,

I've run three very successful software sales companies in my career and I've always somthered my customers with support. It's ironice because then you leave your ofice, go out into the world, and get crappy service from EVERYWHERE! I'm now a Realtor and about a year ago I really helped out a client of mine, moving from Rhode Island to Atlanta. Picked them up from the airport, completely took care of them, taking him into truly good places to live as if I was going to be moving. Worked out great and he was super happy. Last month, they called me and said their parents were moving down and I sold them a townhome in a weekend! Now this proves that providing the royal treatment made it possible for them to recommend me even to their parents! And that providing good service pays dividends. RM And yes, I use a KW for my name because if I'm goijng to create links back to my site, there's NO USE having the anchor text be my own name. SEO 101. I am also against SPAM, which is easily spotted. Rob Jim:
