The IndiBlogger forum is now a read-only archive. Every public discussion is still here to read, but new topics and replies are closed.

I have almost around 50 bloggers who are in my gTalk list, and everytime I sign into it, atleast 10 ppl wud come up with me asking for a  Digg , Retweet or a Delicious save. I have no idea why people would do such an act, aiming for high traffic.

Good content whatever be it, will get you better traffic, but things like these are really annoying, even if I put my status like -" No LInks- Busy", they still do ask me for Digg. All I do in such cases is to ignore those ppl and carry on with my work.

What do you guys feel about this?

Well i believe blogging is the next level of social networking now with the presence of forums like indiblogger. . Bloggers read each others posts and share their views. . I think if a blogger likes what he reads, he should not act lazy and do his part in sharing the links. But simultaneously, it has to be kept in mind that no one should force someone to share these links. .

Sharing good links is ok, but one person can tolerate getting links at a regular interval asking for digg, retweet. I hardly digg my own articles., I guess people must be educated about this ,. they must maintain a level of self respect, rather than asking each and every person in their list for digg and retweets.

- It is not always the case. You can't just write a good content and think traffic will come on its own. There are too many good content floating in web that you need to do a bit of homework to make people see you.

- This happens when you randomly add everyone to your list. And if you know someone and have a friendly relation, tell him not to pester him like this. If he is annoying and just behind your back for tweets/digg and nothing much to talk about, just delete from your list.  If you are tolerating someone just cos he will read your blog back, then tolerate.The power is with you. simple.
