- jay4r0, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Are you kidding me why is this even get diggs? This is ***** - no substance!
- jgreene777, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7this guy definitely needs to work on his quality now that he has the whole quantity thing down... he needs to take a few writing courses or something and get that grammar under control before he puts an eye out with it.
- lordatlas, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7If that dude had a better-designed site, I'd bet he'd get a lot more visitors. That sickly yellow, those weird font choices... all scream 1998.
- fnaqzna, on 10/12/2007, -0/+38. Write a blog titled, "How to Generate High Quantities of Content for Your Blog" and submit to Digg.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Are these blogging marketers and seos just a bunch of ***** looking for a quick buck? Sure seems like it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Exactly. Why even read an article based on such a ***** premise? "Generate" content? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WRITE CONTENT, *****.
And blogs ARE mostly garbage, a ***** fad that does little more than exemplify what most of us already know: The Internet is a pageant of the human condition, and that condition is best summed up as "stupid." - raindog469, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I agree.... buried as "wrong topic."
And if there is no search engine gaming/blog promotion topic.... so much the better. Digg me down if you must, but I'm really tired of that stuff. - DAC1138, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's called "satire." Look it up if you don't know it.
- DAC1138, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Since it was removed, I'll give you seven tips on how to generate high quantities of content for your blog :)
1: Write about what you ate for breakfast. Then describe what you were thinking about when you were eating it.
2: Write about the idiot in the car in front of you on the interstate while you were driving to work. Unleash your anger!
3: Write about what you ate for lunch. Then describe what you were thinking about when you were eating it.
4: Write another entry about how you're slacking off at work writing your blog when you should be working.
5: Write about the idiot in front of you on the interstate on the way home from work.
6: Dinner is always a good topic. Write about what you ate, how your overall day was, and then go visit digg.
7: Write about how jealous you are that so many other blogs are getting more and more attention than you, and then go to bed in frusturation.
I hope this helps. Do this daily and you'll surely have 7 great articles for people to read daily. - finite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Flagged as spam. It's ***** like this guy who actually make all the blog-haters have a valid point about blogs being mostly crap.
- bs3arch, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4It's back up
- netferret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0- Waffle on about your day and try to make it interesting by putting tons of bloated text on there
- Try to make out that you are really cool when in reality you are a sad hermit geek
- Make false claims
- Make false comparisons
- Copy content from other websites
- Add stupid pictures on it so users will comment
- Start silly debates like IE7 vs Firefox - VictorCheng, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Looks fine to me
- oscar72, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Typical Digg snark in the last couple of comments. The article we're talking about is written by one of the top bloggers going around (top 50 on Tehnorati from memory). I guess grammar isn't everything when it comes to 'quality' and it is more about the ideas being communicated (which if you read the post and the links in it you'll find show he knows what he's talking about - despite the design and grammar).
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3^ Bury that comment, it's not true anymore. See a few threads down.
- loleve81, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2worked for me, thanks for sharing.
- Glenn, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4Link works fine now..?
- shmatt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1If you read that stuff, you have only yourself to blame. I see crappy blogs all the time and guess what, I go somewhere else.
What's with you people anyway? When exactly did you start expecting the Internet to be full of 'quality content?' It's always had tons of junk, blog or not. Let the boring people write their boring blog, while you can go read something more intertesting... and stop bitching! - shmatt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2wrong. anyone can have a blog and you don't have to read it. When you start spamming people with links to your crappy blog, then there's a problem. Fortunately that's very few of us.
- CristianMezei, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Yeah, I just spoke with him and he said they had some server problems. All are fixed now, and the article's all good now.
- shmatt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1um, not. It screams CSS. not very pretty but way beyond 1998.
- CoolSilver, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2That sucks.
- kensavage, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3Oops
- nexthoudini, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0Please do not dig this article anymore. It has exactly 42 diggs, no more, no less.
- CristianMezei, on 10/12/2007, -19/+4Please do not digg this article anymore. Problogger removed the article (or renamed the URL) after I posted the Digg story.
