Hey, who the f**k are you, Jack? And what kind of lazy-*ss comment is that? Think you can do better? Then show it! If not, get the f*ck out of cyberspace! If you do post a comment, at least say something substantial and meaningful rather than just spout your frustration!

Andrew, nice job, like the article! Kudos! I’ll be checking back!

Excellent advice, which I’m passing on to my authors.

(Some of those commenters above just don’t get it do they.)

Keep blogging,

Thanks for the comment Lazy Girl, and I’m glad you got the joke!
Posts don’t have to be boring – that was sort of my point. It’s easy to put out dry, navel-gazing content – but you shouldn’t settle for the easy way out. If you give people what they want, they’re more likely to stick around.

Cheers Jack,

That’s the sort of slightly irate “I’m on the internet so don’t have to fake politeness, you arse kisser” comment that makes me want to keep on blogging.
I’m sorry you think my post is garbage (I’d have gone for “utter shite” myself, really twisted that knife), and I’ll definitely steer clear from posting advice in anything other than a clearly bullet pointed list in future.
I mean, what was I thinking? A light hearted way of making the point that if you’re going to stand out from the crowd, you’ll need eye-catching, user-focussed and tightly-edited content? Get a grip man!
If you want to quote me for the time you wasted reading this, I’ll gladly pay you for the time you so unfairly squandered on the elementary student garbage of an experienced writer.

I think he’d sell it to you for about a fiver.

Blogs don’t necessarily need to be self-indulgent. Look at things like Copyblogger for example, it’s just sound and solid advice portrayed in a new way – very little chest thumping and banner waving there.

This was a pretty funny read.

I’m very new to blogging (my site isn’t even listed on Google yet) so I’ve been reading a lot of SEO articles today and… yep, clicking out fairly fast on most!

I figured it’s because most of the posts are too technical for noobs like me, but some are a bit boring aren’t they?

This is the type of mindless drivel that makes me want to comment.

I’m tired of all the zero class, overly sensitive, elementary students hoisting their crap out into the world.

Good luck selling your garbage to the next brown nosing “arse” kisser.

I want your friend’s T-shirt.

By the by, I like posting the odd picture with my posts. But a wall of text is only really a wall of text if your first line’s crap.

I also think blogs are inherently self-indulgent. Course, you’re looking after an active SEO blog, with an active community around it. No room for tittle-tattle there, which is why you’re doing a good job.

So keep doing that and don’t worry about those I, I, I ones — it’s only Livejournal’s afterbirth.
