I haven’t heard about that happening before.

I just wanted to point out that I don’t think the reader to comment ratio that you mentioned is right. I would think it would be much higher, maybe 1:10 or similiar

@Mike - In spite of his other flaws, Chow is pretty straight forward about admitting when he does ‘evil’ things even if he doesn’t always give all the details. Most of it is stuff out of the basic blackhat playbook anyway. Some of it is so commonplace it could hardly be considered truly blackhat anymore.

@Dale - Things like this happen all the time in the publishing business, music industry and others. Those who’re greedy and/or stupid get at it get caught. Those who’re discrete and smart rarely get exposed.

No, John Chow SPAMMED his own feed to get his feed count that high! (Hehe…)

Frank C; we still can’t assume things even when it really seems like it is true.

CatherineL; Yup, I also ask for e-mail subscriptions too. I mean it’s pretty much fine to do that, but not when there are tons of e-mails that are the same.

Interesting - I wondered why so many bloggers urge you to sign up to their RSS via email. So, now I know.

Hi Mike,

That was the point of my Secrets of Social Blogging Success series, to point out what was going on behind the scenes but without naming names.

But as for the RSS counts, John Chow and Shoemoney did certainly resort to automated methods to greatly inflated their counts in a short amount of time.

Tehe… <—-Wasn’t that a gay thing to say?

Yes, I did attend school, but then promptly dropped out, then I returned… Now, I’m taking a quarter off, to… realign my perceptions.

Oh, and I was right, because nobody uses older versions now do they? Even if a version number wasn’t mentioned, you should still know what you’re talking about before you press submit
Mike, ..uh, both of you, learn something. Read my post Horrible Content = Horrible Results.

Lol. Fun times in the comment form of Blogging-ads.com
