I mentioned blogging is in decline because people who don't want to take the time to build a quality &lt;b&gt;site&lt;/b&gt;, whether its a blog or not, quit.  Blogging just happens to be the easiest way to create a website these days and people are glomming on to it by the millions, finding out success takes work, and go back to their day jobs considering what we do a scam - or worse - they blame an inanimate object like the code that runs a site (blog software) for their failure.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Notice how Andy said "blogging sucks."  Knowing the value of a good title doesn't mean he truly thinks that the way he publishes online sucks because he'd be gone already.  Why wouldn't this be his farewell post if he thought software was to blame?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Would you write differently or interact differently with your market simply because you were using Dreamweaver to publish instead of your blog?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You still have to connect with readers.  The information still has to get out there on SOME platform.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2.  People making comments about how social sites only have other bloggers on them, so why spend time on social marketing, are missing the point entirely.  Being on the social sites gets you into the engines.  The traffic you get from the ENGINES is largely outside the social networks where the heavy-duty geeks live.  These are people looking for information you have and they have nothing to do with blogging, blogs, or social networks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Whatever traffic you do skim off the network itself that produces for you, great.  But don't discount the fact that your main site plus several of your satellite blogs and profiles from social sites should also be getting into the SERPS and bolstering your link popularity and traffic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3.  I wanted to support Andy's position here, but I think it's important to point out that a lot of comments here are tending toward the gloom and doom side and can be seen as very short sighted when it comes to the power of blogging.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;So my position is:&lt;/b&gt;  Blogging as a traffic generation and sales tool doesn't suck.  Blogs are a way of communicating on the web like any other website platform.  If you suck at communicating, testing your conversation and driving traffic in a profitable direction from your content, then switching to another publishing platform isn't going to help at all.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 06 Oct 2007 13:02:50 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why Blogs Suck</title><link>http://andybeard.disqus.com/why_blogs_suck_96/#comment-12525979</link><description>Busy thread here - good job Andy.  :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Couple clarifications needed:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1.

Is that a bad thing?  No.  Human nature doesn't change, so tapping into it via myriad techniques stays basically the same.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Will Michel run out of things to say about copy writing?  I hope not.  Will he bring new ways to train people the solid, immovable principles of copywriting?  I'm sure he will.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Can he do something fun, off topic with his own blog?  You bet.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Talking about the same thing all the time (I know first hand) gets really old sometimes and you need a break.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All we as educators do is come up with new ways to explain and train about things that never change, along with keeping up with our industry and reporting on new trends.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If it weren't for the new trends, there'd be precious little new things anyone would have to talk about in their professional on a daily basis.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also - you have to market your site.  This is a great Power Linking tactic Michel is taking part in, and, counter to Adam's reaction lots of people like getting to know a bit about the people who's blogs they read everyday.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;About Michel having said everything about copywriting:  If you took just 10% of his best material on this bog and in his membership site and applied it you'd be doing very well right now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have, so I know I don't need to hear about copywriting in every single post he makes.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He's a great guy and we all had bad hair in the 80's.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am off to my blog to confess (but not brave enough to put pics of my parachute pants up from '84.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for the break Michel and Happy Holidays to you and Sylvie!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jack Humphrey</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 19 Dec 2006 14:36:29 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Five Things You Don&amp;#8217;t Know About Me</title><link>http://themichelfortinblog.disqus.com/five_things_you_don8217t_know_about_me/#comment-10714651</link><description>I would hate this blog if all Michel did was come up with content to sell products, which is every magazine's #1 goal whether the products are good, bad, needed, or wanted.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That is what the blogosphere is defiantly opposed to and so few marketers actually understand.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sure Michel could come up with a ton of content every single day without repeating himself exactly.  They have spam bots that do this.  You can churn out 5 pieces of content and have the bot mix it up 100 different ways so nothing is technically the same - except the message.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I lose readers all the time - and customers - because I have chosed to focus on things they aren't interested in and I don't always talk about what they want.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This happens to every blogger in the world.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Chosing to leave Michel's 'sphere over something like this is a detriment only to you.  Michel will be quite fine and doesn't need saving.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 19 Dec 2006 15:25:04 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Key To Getting The Fees You Deserve</title><link>http://themichelfortinblog.disqus.com/the_key_to_getting_the_fees_you_deserve/#comment-10716059</link><description>Awesome post Michel.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think some people assume many copywriters and consultants charge less because they are trying to undersell and compete.

Now that you've done the heavy lifting, I have a place to point FTR readers for this info.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here's another thing you can do to get their attention:  Send them traffic!  If they have a blog, submit some of their posts with StumbleUpon, Digg, etc. and get them ready to hear from you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You will be able to tell when they've registered the extra traffic and where it came from because they are likely to come check out YOUR blog and even comment.  Great time to contact them and ask how they liked the extra traffic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We do that to get  JVs and it works like gangbusters.  We use our product on their sites and then tell them what we did.  Once they "feel" it in action, they're hooked.  Never had anyone turn us down after that.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 06 Feb 2008 17:30:42 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: How I Grow My Blog Organically Using These 5 Tips</title><link>http://themichelfortinblog.disqus.com/how_i_grow_my_blog_organically_using_these_5_tips/#comment-10926628</link><description>Excellent post man!

You get the "news" but with inspired commentary rather than regurgitated, recommended affiliate information.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am taking all the credit for it too.  Simply because Rick asked what I thought before he "launched" this blog and I agreed, which, I am positive, is the whole reason this blog is here today.  :)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 27 May 2008 12:57:56 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Unsubscribe From Whomever Emailed You Stompernet</title><link>http://rickbuttsshow.disqus.com/unsubscribe_from_whomever_emailed_you_stompernet/#comment-12225931</link><description>Sorry - didn't mean to say the Black Book is where the idea for SMARTS came from.

You haven't been inside.  You DON'T know what you're talking about and I'm beginning to see that you don't know me at all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"If you think it's about linking, you're way off the mark."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good - you read the word linking and figure the training is about link building.  I guess I need a big damn Emmy-winning video for you to understand anything about this topic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"If you think it's all "stolen" from you, you're delusional."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Delusional is the man who thinks a great portion of the material a lot of gurus put out is original.  They rip off ideas from all over the damn place.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I wouldn't have cared about SMARTS at all if it weren't POSITIONED as the first best finest damn social marketing training ever.  They positioned it that way.  They have to eat those words unless they expect all of us doing this long before them to just sit back and put up with all this "Almighty Savior" shit.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'd have let it ride if it were positioned in any of 1000 different ways than the way it was.  No, I'm sure nothing was "stolen" in the strictest sense.  We all learn things and apply them and even make them into training sometimes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Everyone is talking about stuff me and a few others were talking about when few people would listen (because they were doing all the Adsense crap trying to figure out why they weren't making anymore money).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Find me out there, ANYWHERE, claiming I invented social marketing.  You won't.  I'm not the guy you so desperately want to paint with that brush.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is the only place I brought this up because I was tired of all the chest beating bullshit about something everyone was led to believe WAS invented by SMARTS people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I didn't invent it, but neither the hell did they.  Watch the videos again and see for yourself how they positioned all of it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don't have any more time for the this history lesson than a lauded Stomper Faculty Member should, so I'll sign off this one.  My words here don't mean squat compared to my track record the last 10 years.  (Google me before you reply to this or you'll keep embarrassing yourself.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you want to win this debate you're up against 10 years of impeccable credentials.  I heard yours are pretty fine, or at least they were until I saw you getting into this mess.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just remember, none of these people are pissed at ME.  You won't find a single spec anywhere on the web containing the kind of venom spewing on this page about my products, services or reputation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I've had 10 years to destroy my reputation and haven't managed to do it yet.  Stomper is in danger of accomplishing the task in virtually no time at all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm not the one on public trial here.  Think about that before you tighten the noose even more by trying to act like somehow everyone else is a pile of scroungy infidels and that your position here is the solid one.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 00:06:53 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Unsubscribe From Whomever Emailed You Stompernet</title><link>http://rickbuttsshow.disqus.com/unsubscribe_from_whomever_emailed_you_stompernet/#comment-12225958</link><description>Fair enough everyone.  I need disclaimers or at least to read my stuff more than twice.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I can see where the only thing anyone got out of my original was that I was some egotistical dumbass claiming first dibs on social marketing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wasn't my intent and everyone who really knows me knows I'm not that guy at all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I honestly don't care anymore and can't remember the last time I let myself get baited like this.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All I was really replying to was one sentence in Dan's reply and on it went.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I feel better now.  Not that I felt that bad before considering I have my own very loving, devoted posse and quite the perfect life.  Only diff here is like Ed said, the big multi million dollar launch.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If we could all agree that the millions of dollars are the MAIN reason for doing any of it, then I'd be happy. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Believe it or not, I honestly like what I do and helping people enough that I choose not to make $18 million in one day at the expense of others.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You see, I can easily round up the same list of characters and do it too.  One thing the gurus can't resist is a hot, pure commodity to profit from, and baby, I got game!  There were talks very recently about turning me into the next Internet Idol with people you all know and "love."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Not gonna happen.  I opted out of the mega-million dollar day.  It doesn't matter to me if people don't believe that.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;People who know me know I'm not crazy.  So search for the real reason I wouldn't do it and you have ANOTHER way of looking at internet marketing instead of what is now almost considered the ONLY way judging by all the launches.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hell we all knew more were coming.  Walker put out a killer course and now we can count on way more than just Stomper doing it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And there WERE big launches well before Walker spilled the beans.  And conversations just like this one.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;10 years of this same exact argument and I still haven't learned to keep my mouth shut and just cash the damn checks.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 02:12:29 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Unsubscribe From Whomever Emailed You Stompernet</title><link>http://rickbuttsshow.disqus.com/unsubscribe_from_whomever_emailed_you_stompernet/#comment-12225963</link><description>Anyway Rick - great job on the linkbait dude!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If I wasn't so embarrassed I got sucked into one of the oldest tricks in the book I'd link to you too!  :)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 02:18:14 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Rick Butts Electrocted By Internet Gets Bizarre Powers</title><link>http://rickbuttsshow.disqus.com/rick_butts_electrocted_by_internet_gets_bizarre_powers/#comment-12226168</link><description>Rick,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How many licks DOES it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Answer that and I will believe you!  :)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 May 2008 13:01:46 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 12 Biggest Whores in Internet Marketing</title><link>http://rickbuttsshow.disqus.com/12_biggest_whores_in_internet_marketing/#comment-12226492</link><description>Rick,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I really wish you wouldn't have put ME in the center of your next hurricane!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For the record, until this post anyway, me and John are buds.  My link for this comment points to one of my TS2 posts on Friday Traffic Report.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think what people need to do to weigh this launch is 2 things:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1.  Look at John's track record and the respect he commands around the web and the material included in this version of Traffic Secrets and decide for themselves, as John wants you to, if the course is right for them and their experience level.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2.  Decide which "whore" is going to get your money for buying if you decide to buy.  This is accomplished, I believe, by going through the affiliate link you think deserves the credit.  I am almost positive John is using "last cookie" which means the last person to send you gets the credit.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Big launches and the value of John's product are two different things and should be considered separately in my opinion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I might have one myself one day!  :)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:54:41 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 12 Biggest Whores in Internet Marketing</title><link>http://rickbuttsshow.disqus.com/12_biggest_whores_in_internet_marketing/#comment-12226547</link><description>I have a new bonus for Traffic Secrets:  no bonus!  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bonuses just get you on another list, so I'm making sure to stick with John's idea of a clean, no backend, no upsell, launch and upping the ante with no BONUS promotion.  :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am off to start a Warrior thread entitled "Who has the worst bonus for TS?"&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm sure it will be picked up in the engines and thousands will be clicking through, lol.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jul 2008 07:23:23 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: I Am Joe&amp;#8217;s Email List &amp;#8211; An Open Letter To Internet Marketers</title><link>http://rickbuttsshow.disqus.com/i_am_joe8217s_email_list_8211_an_open_letter_to_internet_marketers/#comment-12226658</link><description>Brilliant Rick.

One observation that I didn't see was that people really only flock to certain sites for their news.  So at least publishing links to current stories is critical if you are the chosen filter for that news by a large readership.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;People only have so much time and we largely assume regular web users know how to move through as many sites as we monitor on a daily basis, which isn't true.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The view above is like flying over a city in a helicopter.  Not everyone has a helicopter nor would they know how to fly one if they did.  So regular surfers don't get this macro view of the web and need stories to show up on the part of the web they visit the most.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Maybe not total re-posts of stories, but links for sure.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 09 May 2008 13:59:14 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Leaked Reports &amp;#038; Software Demos for Torrent Traffic Generation</title><link>http://michellemacphearson.disqus.com/leaked_reports_038_software_demos_for_torrent_traffic_generation/#comment-13891168</link><description>Badass idea Michelle.

The point is not to be first.&lt;br&gt;The point is to be relevant in your market.  If you are not engaged in the discussion going on in your niche, how relevant can you be?  Being higher in the comments than #145 is better.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2.  The results have been more traffic from blogs I've used it on.  Period.  More traffic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3.  It's not a tool that's for sale, it's neither Michelle's nor my tool, and we are not the kind of people to throw up something junky since we both rely on our reputation for repeat visits.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Its kind of hard to fight with people for their own successful marketing campaigns.

Making your landing pages scan-able is one thing, but writing an article like this and making it scan-able is an art in itself.  The section headings make a huge difference.  I wish all the blogs I read were as focused on scan-ability.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for the tips!</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 27 Sep 2007 18:26:52 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Reader Poll: Podcast Popularity vs Live Streaming Audio</title><link>http://toprankblog.disqus.com/reader_poll_podcast_popularity_vs_live_streaming_audio/#comment-17135240</link><description>While I provide a live stream on BlogTalkRadio show, most of my listeners come through downloads at a later date.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I guess I consider streaming to be live rather than clicking on a pre-recorded audio player to listen.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 06 Apr 2009 12:27:16 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Google Personal Profiles</title><link>http://mariareyesmcdavis.disqus.com/google_personal_profiles/#comment-17280009</link><description>Maria,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think we're already done when it comes to what Google knows and shows about us.  Funny thing is, we all "outed" ourselves just by being online.  Maybe that's not so funny, now that I think about it.  Anyway, no point in worrying about it now.  We'll all be assimilated by the Goog and there's nothing anyone can do about it.  :)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jack Humphrey</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 28 Apr 2009 18:43:08 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Inc Magazine and Twitter&amp;#8217;s Biz Stone, I Stand Corrected</title><link>http://vivavisibility.disqus.com/inc_magazine_and_twitter8217s_biz_stone_i_stand_corrected/#comment-17303416</link><description>I was JUST going to Twitter about this!
