I came to Apsense this morning and to complete my tasks I was asked to Comment on a Blog.

That is something I do everyday after perusing my Google Alerts on Blogs within in my Many Niches of Interest. I spend about 1/2 hour day commenting on relevant Blogs with quality comments. The cheapest way to build a list of Like minded persons, I know.

What an utter disappointment here at Apsense when I went to categories and pulled up a couple of Favorites and Found Useless Blog after Blog, totally irrelevant to the Category Topic.

If anyone practicing these ridiculous habits would like to LEARN HOW TO effectively Market On-line and generate QUALITY business relationships, contact me and I will Set up a FREE Webinar.

I left Apsense for a couple of years because of the incessant bombardment of specious Opportunities. I was please to see progress lately, but we all need to learn HOW TO utilize the Blog system

I appreciate the comments form everyone. I may set up a "webinar" to review On-line etiquette, especially in Social Media.
One of my associates , Brad Parler, just posted on our Business Building Blog regarding Social networking. He also post a previous missive on What SN Is Not!.
I know he would appreciate Comments.

Hi Chuck
You are absolute right about it. But not only blogs are the problems so many million dollar deals out there and 90% don't work except for the owner of the site. Peoples inviting just anybody to join without testing to see if really work the system. I think that also on the border of spamming.
About the free seminar good idea but I;m afraid the ?bad guys? will ignore or will don't get it tha purpose of it.

Good Point Dawie. Having a minimum number of characters won't do a thing to deter the 'TimberJordan Jerseyers'.

@Paula, i recommended that as well, but some of these posts are long posts that is pure CRAP. The blog section needs a big cleanup, that's why i leave crappy comments on some Blogs but like Cheryl stated most of this posts is autoposts, and the poster never sees the comments and those that do simply ignore it.
There is no cure for idiotism, once an idiot always an idiot.

@Cheryl.. never thought of spam bots good to know
I was being done in my timberland boots and air jordan.

Sounds like a great Webinar , I would attend
But... I would bet Paula is right the ones who need it will be to lazy to attend.
Isn't that the way it goes
Those who things are intended for are the ones that don't show up.

I've come to the conclusion that those are spambots that just randomly insert links into articles written by someone else and post them. I've started reporting those to Wincer as soon as I see them. Had about 20 of those accounts deleted recently.

lol Paula I think you are right - Look how hard it is for some to add a photo!
When it comes to those type of blogs I am convinced those are the World Of Warcraft Blog posters with their Gucci handbags and Air Jordans hyper links contained therein. They post intentionally in wrong category as it is part of that game!

Hi Chuck. It annoys me too all the empty blogs. I send a message to Wincer with the suggestion to make it so that new blogs must have a minimum number of characters before it can be published. he replied this was not a bad idea so maybe there is hope.
Reading the post from Cheryl I think maybe we should start another free webinar "stop being lazy and ignorant". Better not, they will be probably will too lazy to attend.

Unfortunately some people will never do things the right way without 'motivation'. I have this problem with eZineSpace. People create eZine and instead of correctly placing them in the category where they belong, they lazily create the eZine in the category of Arts & Entertainment. Or they do not enter the brief eZine description.

I'm sure that practice is about to come to a screeching halt. Because I did give them time to understand what needed to be done. I went along behind them and
