It’s my BLOG!
I get comments from people via my contact form fairly frequently… and I’d like to thank those that take time out to send me their thoughts.
One of the most frequent questions I get is asking why I don’t allow comments. Well, that’s actually a very easy question. First, this is my BLOG, and it represents my thoughts — if you want to tell the world about your thoughts, start you own BLOG (there are many BLOG sites, and you can certainly look on my BLOG for suggestions). Second, by not allowing comments I totally avoid the problem of SPAMmers putting up comments that are really nothing but advertisements or scams.
I sadly get an incredible number of people trying to sell me SEO (Search Engine Optimization) services — at a ranking of roughly 2 million and many searches that return my sites on the first page I’m quite happy with my web site and BLOG; and I seriously doubt you know much more than I do about SEO services; so please feel free to try and scam someone more gullible and waste less of my inbox.
I also get a fair number of companies contacting me about taking a look at their product and writing a post (generally they have a similar or competing product to one that I’ve written a post on) — and I assure you that I keep all of those messages in a folder and will get around to looking at most of the products.
I get a few corrections to what I’ve said in my posts — and those I will look at right away and figure out if I’ve in fact made a mistake or I’ve simply been mis-understood. In either case it’s likely that I’ll correct the post. While I don’t guarantee the accuracy of anything on my web site or BLOG, I do try very hard to be credible.
And, of course, I get some hate messages — but interestingly enough I get way more people saying something along the lines of “right on” or “thanks” than I do people telling me to go f^(& myself. You’re welcome to send message of either kind, but I’m not looking for others to validate the way I feel or think (I do recommend if you’re going to send a critical message that you consider at least spell checking it — while that won’t necessarily improve the quality of the content of your rambling… it certainly won’t hurt [though some of the spelling errors are down right hilarious]).
