≡ 10 Ways to Make Your Fellow Bloggers Hate You
- Make an account at MyBlogLog and start spamming everyone by leaving a message that says: “great site, visit mine http://www.yourblog.com/”
- Go on every blog you find and post a comment that says “great entry, visit my blog http://www.yourblog.com/”
- Join forums and add your wise comments to each thread “I agree, visit my blog http://www.yourblog.com/”
- Join Blogging to Fame and beg for fames: “loved your site, fame mine”
- Make a video of yourself blabbing about the weather and don’t forget to say “visit my blog http://www.yourblog.com/”
- Submit your entry every day to every social bookmarking site you know and don’t forget to ask for votes from the members at MyBlogLog: “pls. digg http://www.yourblog.com/entry/”
- Collect contact information from all the authority bloggers and email them every day. It doesn’t matter what you say. Just don’t forget to tell them “visit my blog http://www.yourblog.com/”
- Request links from everyone like: “I like your blog, link to mine http://www.yourblog.com/”
- Copy content from everyone without giving credit, but link to the original source so that the author knows that you’ve copied the article. Eventually say at the end of the article “you are not allowed to republish this without my permission.”
- To make the picture complete, make every link you ever place in every entry you ever write a link to one of your affiliate programs that make you money.
Bonus point: tag your blogger friends to complete the list with their ideas.
Yvonne, Lisa, Pearl, Laura, Lillie, Ilker, Phil, Liz, Alina, David, Ian, Dio, Sue, Laketrees, Deborah, Saboma, and if I am forgetting anyone, I strongly encourage you to spam them with my link.

OMG, I thought I was the most loved blogger on the planet, but now I know why my 6 different IM services do not always respond! Perhaps some other bad habbits should go on this list?
11. Get in such a hurry promoting posts that you fail to send the link
12. Stumble message the wrong link or send to the same person 4 times
13. Leave a string of activity on twitter that takes up a whole page
14. Use the word innovation in every single post your write
15. Add fellow bloggers to endless lists of startups and sites
16. Make at least one typo in every post
17. Guest author on every major blog and drive the owner nuts editing
18. Ask a scout on Netscape to submit and article for you
19. Always suggest something similar or better in post comments
20. Asking fellow bloggers to Digg straight spam sites - RRRRRR

Great post! It pretty much hits all my blogging pet peeves in one blow. Don’t forget to visit my blog at… oh, wait. Shoot.

September 19th, 2007 at 4:06 pm
Hi Mig!
This post made me laugh, despite the fact that you tagged me to add to your evil advice.
Oh, and don’t forget to visit me at: http://www.myblogname.com/
September 19th, 2007 at 4:14 pm
I agree. Great post. Now, is this where I leave my link? LOL.
I had to smile when reading this. It is so true.
I had a lot of fun writing my post in response to your tag. Thanks
Yvonne

I am feeling like a little devil here, and you all know I am an angel.
So this is how a bored Wednesday morning converts into a funny day, with great follow-up (read Yvonne’s blog response)
So keep them flowing because at the end, your entries and your comments we’ll become an eBook called: “Blogging Tips: How to be Cocky and Vexatious”
Smooth…
September 19th, 2007 at 5:13 pm
I love the title of this ebook and the concept of the project. Count me in.
September 19th, 2007 at 5:30 pm
Great! Then we can spam people to buy the e-book too.
September 19th, 2007 at 5:41 pm
I thought I should add some alternate titles here: 1) 10 things you should do to bolster your blog(admit it you know you did it) 2) 10 things we all did with our blog before someone let us know uhhhhh that that ain’t cool 3) 10 things that everyone does and no one admits 4) 10 things we keep trying because we heard they work but we’re still not sure 5) 10 things that people did to us and now I do to them…
September 19th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
Well, we need to come up with something new on an already supra-saturated market of “how to” become rich, how to make money, etc. What about “how to be a loser and be proud of it?” He he…

haha thanks for giving smiles today - I soo needed to laugh
have been over worked and half sleepy and need 24 hours of nap straight 
with so many people writing so many things we hate about blogging, who would wanna blog? 
I love that title of the ebook too…

I wrote a comment before but don’t remember if I hit the submit button
and I wrote that I was REALLY tired and sleepy so thank you for giving me a chuckle with this post :)) and a good post idea …..:)
September 20th, 2007 at 5:54 am
Bwahahahahaha! You ain’t right, reddog! But I love how you made some very valid points and those points are hysterically all true — every single one of them! AND since you brought it up, let me ask, how the heck does one get removed from these social network things? I’ve gotten far away from the BTF thing. I want nothing to do with it. I’ve deleted my acct at MyBlogLog at least once and MyBlogLog thought I was just kidding around. I refuse to respond to anyone at BlogCatalog, especially after today’s spamming invitation attempt by the funny boy from his Tech site. I’ve had all the fun that I can stand with more than I care to admit. It’s above and beyond anything in my wildest nightmares.
AND now you’re seriously trying to be funny but I’d like to know what you did with the money cuz it sure didn’t go towards your entrance into comedian school, did it? :P~~ ^5!
September 20th, 2007 at 9:55 am
Thank you all for your comments, and thank you swany for the spam link: we seriously needed it.
Saboma I have no idea how to get removed from the social network thing. BTF was a nightmare. MyBlogLog is fine so far - I’ve met many great bloggers there and I keep it for contact. BlogCatalog is not something I enjoy, but it doesn’t bother me right now.
Woof. Woof.
September 20th, 2007 at 10:09 am
I’ve been spammed endlessly at MyBlogLog, Mig. And while I am a social creature but this online stuff is something else. It’s been a real lesson, to say the very least but as they say, live and let live. I just don’t have the time for it but that’s just me.
*Hugs Girly!*
September 20th, 2007 at 10:20 am
He he… bloggers at MyBlogLove must be in love with you.
Seriously now, you can change the settings in your MyBlogLog account to receive messages solely from contacts. This will allow only people you actually added as your friends spam you.
September 20th, 2007 at 10:48 am
OMG, Mig, this made me laugh so loudly that my colleagues are now wondering if I am crazy or not!
There’s another one: leave your comments on incredibly old posts (at least one year) and change Great post to Great Blog!
Or, get to visit anyone in a certain bloggers blogroll and comment on the posts he/she commented, eventually stating the same idea
September 20th, 2007 at 10:58 am
Very good point. Boy this list is getting bigger and bigger. I see a lot of potential in our eBook.
September 20th, 2007 at 12:09 pm
Bloody hilarious! Love the e-book idea too
I’ll come back when I have my wits about me to add … I was just shutting down when I noticed your link and came to investigate. Right now my eyes are 2 pee holes in the snow, I can’t keep them open
September 20th, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Welcome in the Yard, Deborah. Do come back with your list, or write it on your blog. Whatever you choose, I’ll get you in the book.
We will. We are in this together.
September 20th, 2007 at 5:02 pm
I love it! I was cracking up all the way through, and count me in on the eBook! I bet it really WOULD be a success.
September 20th, 2007 at 6:22 pm
Ooh! start a contest and never deliver on the prize, or worse award the prize to yourself.
September 21st, 2007 at 9:42 am
Great idea, Ian, or be just like the BBC where you trick someone else into pretending they are a finalist and get them to win to save the show. (The real grotty thing about this was the “someone else” in this case was a child. Oh, yes, the world is an evil place and you’ve gotta learn early, don’t you?)

September 22nd, 2007 at 8:12 am
I haven’t had a chance to give this much thought yet (been sick the past 2 days) but here’s a few for starters off the top of my head:
Spam every contact that’s joined your community at MyBlogLog on a daily / weekly basis with ‘visit blogspam.com for today’s post on blog spam post’. That’s the fastest way to delisting yourself from my contacts
Become a Troll and write inflaming comments for the hell of it just to get the fires going.
Leave a contrary and forceful comment about something you obviously have no knowledge of that makes you look like a fool. The blog owner will want to delete your comment but may likely leave it just to display your stupidity.

I’m still processing this and so far, this is about all that I can add to the mix. We too have our moments.
September 26th, 2007 at 9:04 pm
This has set my mind racing. I am happy to take part in this and any ebook/pdf you create. Where to begin is the question although my main cringe inducing topics relate to spam, obvious link baiting and making money online.
September 26th, 2007 at 10:33 pm
I certainly hope you WILL! Please. You know all the background: BTW! And more…
September 30th, 2007 at 6:10 am
The post is done and what fun I had doing so. I have also given you an award - which was my slightly evil way of highlighting your recent post on Link Love, Baiting and Carelessness. As I say in the post it comes with no conditions or requirements. I have also passed the baton on to some others who I think can add value to this thread.

Wow, this is so neat, and so true! But… I found it via Facebook! From a ‘friend’ who wasn’t my ‘friend’ until I joined Facebook! Regardless, this is viral. I’m posting on it at my blog… and I’m so mad I didn’t think of it first.

My Blogger Friends Love Me Because……
Ok, I joined Facebook because I was curious. Had to find out what it was all about. Now, I’m connected to some really interesting, thoughtful, smart people…male and female, that I would never have met on my own. And, I’m learning how to turn Facebo…

Hello, Yvonne! Welcome to The Dog Yard. We are glad to see you here.
Thank you for the comment. You can bet I will go see your blog and spam you with my links in the future.
October 11th, 2007 at 3:24 am
I’ve seen a lot of this stuff since I’ve entered the blogosphere. I shudder to think I could be one of them!
Relating to each other, i.e. cooperation, is in my opinion, more important than the competition among men and women, that will be around forever without any great effort on our parts!
