When Do You Stop Fighting Blog Comment Spam
We get hundreds and sometimes thousands of blog spam comments per week. It is extremely annoying, despite the fact that everything is cleared up after just a few clicks. It’s the principle of the matter.
We’ve been talking about completely disabling comments on IMsimple.com, which I think is drastic. However, it might be the only way to fight blog comment spam.
We could install plugin to make it more difficult for spammers. But really, is it worth the hassle? I’m not sure.
There are some Rhodes Brothers customers that like to comment. However, for every 1 real comment, we get 100 that are complete rubbish. We’re just not sure if it’s worth it.
Were going to look into to some spam killing tools. Will that be enough? We’re not sure. Honestly, it’s probably going to be easiest to fight blog spam by eliminating the ability to comment completely.
Simple Ways to Fight Slow Sales Days
We had a slow sales day today. This comes after a crazy weekend of insane sales for all kinds of products. For example, we had a lot of very high level of sales for both Adsense Judo and Author Bio Box Domination.
But today was a little slower. Lot’s of free time to get work done. And that’s the way to fight slow sales…
Do lot’s and lot’s of work. If you’re not happy with your sales, then do something about it. Fight the depresssion with serious work. Really dig into your sales and marketing.
A similar approach is to conduct a strategic review. Analyze sales for the week, month, and year. Look for trends. Look for success stories as well as serious weakness. Take the break as an opportunity to improve your operations too. Review your processes.
If you work as hard as we do, also consider taking a break. Sometimes you’re not making progress because you’re working too hard. That does happen. You start making mistakes because you’re too focused or perhaps too tired. Relax and take some time to enjoy life.
Don’t worry about slow sales days. It happens to all business. Use the “problem” as an opportunity. Don’t get down, don’t get depressed…
Where Do People Spend Time Online?
The answer is quite simple: Not on your web site.
Unless you have an amazing web site or you’re a billionaire, it is very unlikely that people spend much time on your site. Sorry, but people are spending their time other places.
What this means is that their experience is shaped by other web sites. How does your web site compare? Are you making the same design decisions? How about the same design mistakes? You’re just a tiny little grain of sand…
So, where do people spend time online these days. Here’s the answer (top 6):
- MySpace
