When writing as blogger you need to keep your blogging image clean. You never know if today or tomorrow your blog could take off and start receiving lots of traffic. Yet month later rumors starts around blogsphere, that you are actually some bad guy/girl. On many occasions I told you to start commenting on other blogs just so you let other bloggers know “your blog does exist too”. Some people when they comment can be very rude and annoying and lets just hope that is not you.
Why?
I understand that sometimes your opinions need to be expressed and you just had to leave rude comment. Well don’t! Sooner or later somebody will pick on you and could eventually crash you with only one move by blogging about you and your personality. What happens next?
Your visitors might see that blog post and do not see the other side of you. Soon enough you are going to start losing respect, loyalty and most important your image affront of your friends and family.
What to do then?
Don’t comment in way that could hunt you back, don’t comment personal stuff because you never know how somebody is going to take that. Some people take it positive some in negative way.
If somebody writes about you on their blog, just ignore it. Unless you really really have to clarify and can make things better by saying “It’s not true, That’s a lie here is the proof.
Why am I writing this?
Because I see big bloggers bashing one another constantly online, take TechCrunch (Michael Arrington) and Robert Scoble for example. Two most tech known people on internet, talking against each other now and then. After each post I read all the comments, some people liked what Michael or Robert said , yet more people see it as “How is this post related to tech news”?
Now you know! If you are angry with some other blogger because of , this and that, try to make things private via email or even better call each other via Skype.
Keep your online image clean..
Horaayy..there are 2 comment(s) for me so far ;)
I used to have a blog that wasn’t getting much traffic, so whenever I would get a comment, any comment (even spam), I would just let it pass. Then, a few months later, traffic was booming, but I still had the bad comments. That’s when I had to go thru and delete all of them. So keeping your blog clean is great advice for anyone.
I agree, keep the comments you write and the ones you allow on your blog clean. Some disagreement is fine, but don’t cross the line and be rude or just plain mean with comments.
