I read in a forum that a blogger received threats from a reader that she will be dropped from the RSS Feed reader if she published too many blog posts in a day. Oh dear, what has the world become of that a reader dictates how many posts a blogger can publish in a day?

If you have any of my blogs in your feed reader, you will notice that on some good days, I will be publishing more than ten posts in one day in a single blog. And nobody minds, luckily.

I just want to say that we should not allow others to dictate when we post, how we post and the times we post them. Why? Because it is our own blog and we are the ones paying for our hosting, you know?

So, write as many or as little as you like in a day. People would get used to it!

A couple of weeks ago, I received an email asking me to remove one of my old sponsored posts so I did it at once. Later, I understand that a group of people who also received this same email did not act at once so the sponsor got worried and offered these people $100 each just to remove the post.

I think this is very unfair that people who acted at once were deprived of this bonus and left in the cold while those who dilly dallied were given a pat on the back. Well done for not listening to instructions.

Feeling sour, yea, of course you would feel the same too if you think of the value of $100 and the things it could do especially at this point when the ranks have tanked to the bottom.

We could, of course, just place the post back since it’s in draft mode and not deleted and then $100 will not be enough. So you gotta play fair, you know?

I follow (pun intended) with interest fellow bloggers’ discussion about adding the No Follow attribute to links are not paid for, links that we normally place in any of our posts so that readers will know what we are referring to in our post.

However, I don’t see why I should place No Follow when I have been linking to so many different sites for free since the day I started blogging.

I have a blog that I link out every single post and why do I have to change the way I have been blogging, paid or otherwise? One thing I hate is to be dictated on how I should do something especially when it comes to blogging, which should not be made into a chore.

I am aghast at the thought that some people even think that they should go back on their archives and add this attribute to all their old links. My goodness, surely people have better things to do with their time?

I think that if a blogger is not comfortable linking to a site for the first time then it probably is a wrong link on a wrong blog.

I got to know of this blogger’s call card called Entrecard which I think it s a good way for us to network and take our blog out to more people on the internet. I have not read through the benefits of having an Entrecard yet, or perhaps my brain has yet to digest how good this is but from what I understand, Entrecards are only open to bloggers who run an English blog and not a splog or spam blog.

After getting our blog approved, we will have to place a widget on our blog where other Entrecard holders get to drop off their cards.

I think this is a pretty neat concept and will take the blog sphere by storm if enough marketing efforts are made. I think once I can make time, I will also get a card for myself provided my blogs are approved. Some people may think that I run spam blogs. Heh!

My friend told me that of all the places that she is a blogger with, only one place is perpetually giving trouble. Well, I know what she means but I have good vibes for this particular company mainly because I have been pretty fortunate with them until my ranks tanked.

The other day, I received a rejection from them. Now, if you are one of their many bloggers caught in the recent spanking, you would know how important it is NOT to receive a rejection because a rejected post may not be able to be resubmitted due to the shortfall in requirements.

To cut the story short, my rejection was because that I submitted more than three posts for the day. Now, I am a very meticulous person and I keep track of all my posts pretty well having been in the game for more than a year now and would you think that I would have such a lapse in judgement that I would submit over my quota and not get paid for whatever extra work I did?

Anyway, I have reason to believe that besides a name change, this company has outsourced their review work to India. If you noticed, you most probably have also received approval notices in the evenings, our time. No sane American would do review work in the middle of the night, I tell you!

So, outsourcing to India is fine but not when they were not briefed that we accept opportunities based on American time, specifically Eastern Standard Time.

This particular reviewer checked my archives for the whole day Malaysian time from 12am onwards and then told me that I submitted more than my limit. Sure, as it was over a TWO day period over in America. Moreover, this person picked out other opportunities supposedly from this marketplace when they were not.

I am just lucky that I still managed to resubmit my post so let’s see how things go.

I have a couple of friends, local full time bloggers who have a string of blogs. Honestly, I have even lost count the number of blogs that they have. The previous time I heard that one has more than two dozen blogs and the other has more than a dozen. She is catching up, I tell you!

And the scary thing is that they are not stopping at that! They start new niche blogs every month that I wonder how they could keep up. Frankly, speaking from experience, maintaining more than seven blogs myself, I am so hard pressed for time just to fill them up with content that I no longer have the time to network.

Most of us semi-probloggers are putting in as many hours as we do in our regular work and it is exhausting but I am amazed that these two ladies are still going on with setting up new blogs at full steam.

Even if I have the time to set up new blogs, I would have run out of ideas already. Niche blogs? I have had enough of them right up to my nose. I really take my hat off to them!
