No worries David, some aren’t even aware and I guess a degree of people mighn’t care too much either, just bear in mind that some do and will delete what you say in a heartbeat!

If you think of in terms of plastering an ad on someones blog, it pulls into focus a little. Be it Viagra, Cheap Flights or some lesser competitive term, for those in the know, its akin to saying I’m using your blog to promote my site. The reality is in most instances if what you are doing is related in some way anyway, and you engage in conversations and what not – then people will talk about and link to you in any case, which is worth far more than any stab at a little link manip in a comment somewhere.

As for the digg and the stumble, you are very welcome

Oh, and thanks for the comment on BlogCatlog

Thanks for getting back to me Rob, and for that tip.

It hadn’t occurred to me that people might find it cheeky, and that’s the last way I want to appear.

That’s great you dugg and stumbled my post! Thank you kindly sir.

Hi David

Nice use of anchor text there – you are learning fast already it seems

A little tip, some people might not take too kindly to anchor texted comments, today I dont mind so much, but just be mindful that others especially those who are really into this stuff might take it to be a little cheeky.

I liked your little comment image tip over at your blog, so dugg and stumbled it.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for visiting my design site, and for publishing this article on SEO.

I’ve been looking into SEO recently, in order to gain some extra clients, but I’ve a long way to go before I understand the main ins and outs.

All the best.

I hear that Brad – Its a difficulty Ive experienced in getting the message acrosss. Some companies, just ‘get it’ right off the bat whereas others are still stuck in traditional marketing trenches highly sceptical of the possibilities and opportunities that online marketing presents.
