stopping blind promotion

are, i am not talking about spam, i am saying dont let people promote more than 1 posts per day on indiblogger

How it harms: Well if suppose you write a good post and maybe 10 pepple promote it to start with and

someone with a network of 1000 people goes ahead and promotes the post of all 1000, for sure atleast 100 will come back and promote his/her blog irrespective of how bad it might be out of courtesy.Your post is lost in  wilderness, you basically will not stand a chance of being on home page ever or amongst the top rated?

Its more like fooling the system, someone with enough time on their hands can actually do that easily.

Why good does promote serve indiblogger then?Maybe can be added to list of features future versions of indiblogger could have :)

The number of promotions a day is not equal to number of visits from Indiblogger on that day. People just going with I oat your back, you pat mine mindset. 

i beleve restrictions will serve no purpose, some are real busy bodies, they would like to scan and go through the posts summary which one posts.  Anyways i am not for restriction even though it might amount to spamming according to you 

I also feel that blogger of month/week could be a good start.

Why I suggested limiting no of recommendations is because I feel it can bring out the importance of recommendations

This limiting thing is done by many sites ,for eg some picture blogs allow you to upload 1 picture per day, forcing you to select the best one. SImilarly if you do to much of vote downs in reditt, you are marked as spammer.

Its like voting, people should not have unlimited votes,its absurd to me :).

Why i say this is because, getting more recommendations does have its advantages, you cannot simply ignore it. A home page feauture on indiblogger can give you good exposure

Another suggestion:

I saw this on another blogging community where evey week one blogger is selected as blogger of week, this person sets a theme for next week and also judges the next blogger of the week based on submissions ,and the chain continues. No prizes ,just feature on home page. I know the bloggers may not be very fair but would be very open, and they will be forced to select 1 entry . If people are a little mature it could be a really nice way to promote good bloggers ,plus the topics could be really creative not tied to any company.

In the end i do agree with sorcerer that SEO is the way to go but still :). ..

I found it annoying too . Blind promotion of posts   and i agree with @Purnendu

Well, thats life. It is a good idea. But it is like a game. People will try to strategize and maximize the votes they themselves get. There aren't people who have time to go through 25-30 posts a day and identify the top 10. I think SEO is one strategy.

Other way I think is each of us will have at atleast 10-15 dedicated readers who enjoy reading but do not write. So we introduce other good bloggers to them and they in turn introduce you to their 10-15 readers. So the writers and readers benefit. But there is a catch here. If you introduce a sub-par writer to your readers, readers will lose trust and the strategy will fail.

I agree with Ani, The Food, and others here. 

Its entirely a human tendency, and you cannot find fault with it. These days, I see more bloggers only concerned about going to other blogs just for the sake of a visit back instead of the content. I have got 13 votes for my latest post and only one comment (by Deepak Kartik). 

ITs a flaw that would be very hard to fix.
