DISQUS

It's unfortunate that they had to cut back on the very thing that feeds them: content. Taking that out means they must have thought of something "creative" to deal with the problem of no content = no traffic.

So if they went that far, the same creativity will bring them back out of this. Sad that all the networks know how to do to monetize their sites is sell advertising. Really sad.

It's pretty easy to watch the web for your name, products, services, etc. with Google Alerts.

It makes it possible for really busy people to drop by and say hi. Its good business all around to do so and we're no less busy than anyone else online.

So why don't more marketing "experts" do it? Might be an idea for your next piece.

I'll be reading!

As long as your name's not John Smith!! You're 100% right. I visit the site of everyone who comments here and I'm more likely to talk positively about those who take the time to be "real" than someone who leaves a "spammy" comment. I know that's just what you teach - I am listening! And thanks for the thought about the next piece. Mark
