Here’s a break from the make money posts to put this poignant question to the blogging community who read my posts.

Why won’t spammers get it into their thick heads that they get nothing from using their spamming methods and posting comments full of links and garbage on blogs? This is all they’ll get for their trouble:

• no backlinks
• no publicity for their sites
• no traffic to their sites
• no credibility
• no business
• no nothing!

When will they learn? If they are promoting pornographic sites, no one reading a blog on how to make money is going to be the least bit interested in them. If they promote viagra or other chemical products that maybe people want, those people will search for their lousy products elsewhere and not go looking for them let alone buy them from links they won’t see on a make money blog!

Maybe this is a lesson to newbies to the online marketing business. If you want to get tons of the above bulleted points (except the last one!) you need to do things the right way from day one. As soon as you start posting useless comments in people’s blogs with a ton of links to your affiliate products or whatever, that blogger is going to mark your comment as spam and everything you post after that will get trapped in the spam filter!

Do it to enough blogs and you’ll find that this particularly lucrative side of internet marketing becomes a closed shop to you.

So get it right and only post in blogs that you have some knowledge of the topic, that relate to your own blog. Post useful comments remarking on the post that it refers to and building a rapport with the blogger you’re commenting on. Do that in enough blogs and your credibility and expertise will grow and you’ll build yourself a nice stream of steady traffic to your own blog or site.

There’s a right way and a wrong way to do most things. If you want to succeed in any business it really helps to do things the right way!
