I have gained a few readers that I can confirm from the meme. Yet I don’t think my time was warranted. I think it’s just a good learning experience. You make a good point.

If you haven't popped by to fave me, I wouldn't know about you :) So in a way, the technorati exchange to me to more than just driving traffic but an opportunity for me to know more bloggers. The networking bit came as a bonus and I'm thankful. I wouldn't say it is a waste of time cos in a short course of time, many came by and know you exist. Though they may not be regular readers but this blog stays in their memory archive for a while. Thanks for dropping by, I'll be back! Hey D, know what?

They only measure traffic <i>potential</i>. So you have a million links. There might be many more millions clicking through those links. More often, there no one at all clicks through. Especially meaningless link farm memes or bogus blog networks or blog rings or who knows what new trick people will think up next. I don't think people expect these tricks to be tricks. I'm not questioning anyone's motives here. I'm just trying to remember that the best inbound links come from a carefully targeted market. Since I can't control these links, they are the most valid.

The thing no one mentioned though is theme. Memes are fun, but typically they distract a blog from its thematic purpose. Blogs are all about community, true, but that blogger plays host to that community. When I get meme links, I never know what to do. My blog is about editing. Like you, I address the ones that interest me. The ones that fit my theme... more or less. Dawud, I’m late to this conversation, but it’s a fascinating one.

I see no reason for people to take that tact with Darren - of all people. He freely gives great advice. And from what I know, he's forthright with everything he's done to be successful. People only need to read his blog and follow what he's done and they have a great chance at success themselves. Negativity never amounts to anything except negativity. Never a solution. Never a change in opinion. So it's sad. And it's sad to see how easily people flame Darren just for being honest. You'd think with his success people would think, "oh, he has a point. perhaps I should take it into account and not waste my time with fruitless endeavors," and then thank him for it. Personally, I've never met nor spoken with Darren Rowse. But I do know a few bloggers well who know him more than just in passing. And they always speak of Darren in the highest regard and with the utmost respect. When the time comes that I meet Darren, I expect that I'll the Darren I hear about from my blogging friends. And then I'll thank him for continuing to give so freely and openly at <a href="http://problogger.com" rel="nofollow">ProBlogger</a>. Armen,

What people don't realise is, by being nasty to one of the most respected bloggers around, you're upsetting thousands of others. In turn, you're all but guaranteeing that it'll be a <b>loooonng</b> time before you ever receive a link-back from those you've upset. Not good for the community.
