So yeseterday I thought I'd pulled off quite a coup. I went to another blog yesterday; the author of which was someone I had just met. I was curoious about her blog. One post discussed the kinds of emails she hated to receive. One kind of email she hated to receive was from someone trying to get her to write something for them for free; a way to get free content under the guise of providing her with amazing exposure.
So, I commented, sharing my blog post about the nastiness of some blog strategies used for marketing.
I figured this amazing tactic, linking my blog post to hers, was so clever that, in our little blog strategy world, it should at least count as much as an original blog post.
You see, we have blog post quotas. And our Blog Nazi keeps her Blog Nazi Boot planted firmly in our collective behinds in order to make sure we all perform at least to quota.
Well guess what? Blog Nazi, while acknowledging that what I did was positive, would not budge on my quota. Not an inch! So here I am, making stuff up again! What good is that!?!??
On second thought, if B.N. DIDN'T have a large boot, and DIDN'T exercise it's influence, and just left us bloggers alone, you would be alot less informed about indoor air quality!
Maybe we should get paid per post. Maybe that would be a better motivater than a boot!
Maybe not.
