The real question here should be something like…

Why do most people blog?

If it is mearly to express an opinion then it is really up to the person blogging. If it it to have ads on the blog, then hey why not? The whole point of blogging is to get some idea out there for others to read, for the masses to see what you are thinking about. If you want to put ads on your blog then that is what you should do. If you want to put porn on your blog, then do that, just don’t expect to be taken seriously by anyone other that parverts.

Any thoughts?

A few questions from a blog idiot

How do you keep the spammers from eating you alive? i\’ve seen blogs with nothing but spam postings.

How do you keep some left wing extremist from posting racist or defamatory rhetoric? and if you cant stop them, what are you legally liabel when they do?

can viruses be posted to blogs?

[...] Trackbacks are a pretty nifty way of letting someone else know that you wrote a blog post about their blog post. For example, if I’m reading Ed Lee’s blog, and I see that he made a post about blogger advertising, and I disagree with his statements, rather than filling up Ed’s comments for that post with my argument, I decide to write my own blog post with my two cents, and reference Ed’s original post. Because Ed has enabled trackbacks on his blog, each post shows a list of other bloggers that have written about that article – so how do I get on that list? [...]

Ed and everyone,

Thanks so much for all of your comments and feedback here.

Please keep in mind that this entire project is part of an ongoing experiment for CNW Group. As anyone who knows us well might be aware, we’ve been experimenting quite a bit lately with our marketing efforts. Our goal is simple: to better showcase our expanding services to the people who matter most to us – wherever they may be.

Could we have found another way to reach you? Of course. Has this ad campaign been a mistake? In my opinion, no. (Though offering CNW up like this for open discussion in your blogs has been mildly terrifying.)

The PR game was a delight to develop and I’m glad we did it. More importantly, getting to know the Canadian PR blog community has been well worth any effort. The road to here has been a terrific learning experience. I’m optimistic that our future projects will be better for it.

The long-promised round-table event will occur in early January. If anyone outside of the core group currently hosting our wee ads would like to be a part of the discussion, please let me know. We’re eager to hear what you have to say.

Again – thanks to all.

"On a lighter note, Duran Duran and the Animals quoted in the same discussion - we must be doing something right!" Indeed. Although I actually had the Elvis Costello version running through my head when I was responding. Or was it Nina Simone's original? Or the Popa Chubby version? Or...
