KindleLately I’m having people leave promotional comments on my blog.
Things like… “Oh, hey…that’s great…now why don’t you come check out my blog and my books.”
FYI. This is rude.
If you’re a writer, you should be able to figure out a clever way to catch attention, which will then entice people to click on your name. If you can’t do it that way…well, you’re not going to do it the other way, not on my blog. Sorry. It annoys me.
So I’m pondering a new comment policy. If people leave promotional comments, I think I might reserve the right to edit them as I see fit…things like
“come check out my blog…”
They will become…
“come check out my boogers…”
Childish on my part? Hey, maybe. I can own my childishness. But, you know… it’s kind of childish and unprofessional to spam somebody else’s blog.
Besides, you want attention, otherwise you wouldn’t be leaving promo comments on my blog…and this will get you attention. Really. It WILL catch people’s interest. Except I’ll also remove all links when I do it, so they won’t be clicking right through.
Writers, come on. Be polite. Don’t spam other people’s blogs. It’s rude.
They will become…
“come check out my boogers…”

*sigh*
I hate that.
Think of the editing I could do with my dirrrrrty erotic self.
LOL!!!!
I can’t believe someone would do that to another blogger/writer! Some people are just so ignorant. And I like your “editing” policy, it will make for some very interesting comments!
Ohhh that was funny! I say do it.
LOL Yes, I’m completely with you on this. Although, I’m now kind of hoping that some writers will not see this & still post links to their stuff so we can see your contributions to their comments. Should make for even more entertaining reading!
I totally agree…and yes I think you should be able to edit them…could make for some interesting reading!!!
Oooh… comedy gold, Shiloh! Yes, please do edit them!
I totally agree! BTW you should come visit my blog today…
I too have started getting a rash of spam. They have some generic nonsensical comment and then a LIST of links.
I now moderate comments for posts more than 4 days old as the spammers seem to be targeting older posts on my blog. I hope it helps.
This made my day… I totally think you should. Its your blog have some fun.
Haha, love it
First in all seriousness…yes, totally agree.
The childish side of me? I want to start talking about my blog, so you put boogers
I totally agree. I find it annoying to have to read those kind of comments. I say edit away!
Um….. katiebabs… why… so i can see the perverted sheep, or so are you just saying that so I’ll fiddle with your comment…
Because I want all your attention on me. Must get it in before you leave for RT.
Oh, good grief.
you guys shouldn’t encourage my childishness…
This is a very sad development indeed. I was only reading your blogs for the ads by other authors…
Damn, Mr. Parke… it’s a sad day for you… LOL
Well, I say I only read it for the articles, but, who would believe me?
I have pretty pictures, though, too.
Come check out my boogers? Oh, I’ve GOT to use that in a sentence today. Er, I guess tomorrow.
