Fahed;

I think a one time acknowledgement would be fine if they did not check
the box. That would be it however.

Hey Walt;

Thanks for your comment. However, you are dead wrong on this one. Another paper I wrote gets about 15,000 registrations per year. From that, I get almost one inquiry per day from folks to hire.

I think it all comes down to objective and content. In both cases, I had really excellent content. And in both cases I come up in top 4 on Google for the related keywords.

HOWEVER, in the case where I ask for a registration, I always get better results.

When I ran my tests, the file did not render at all in a web browser on a Mac. And the problem also occurred in FireFox for Windows (pretty sure on that, but my memory might be corrupted). With Apple's huge role in the mobile world, that is a huge issue.

There are actually a LOT of reasons not to use Docmetrics. Perhaps the biggest is that it does not render readable PDF files in Firefox or Safari on the Mac.

Hey Britton;

I think the DocMetrics model is interesting. However, it is not ready for prime time.

I analyzed it for possible use when releasing the Social Media Marketing Industry Report and it just had way too many shortcomings. I know it will be a while before that option is viable.

Re: Following Up On The Auto-Follow Fiasco

Michael A. Stelzner — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 18:07:05 -0000

Hey Michel;

I think this should be fully up to YOU or anyone for that matter.

I do autofollow generally.

But I do respect those who do not.

I think there's just multiple schools of thought on the matter.

As Rodney King said, "Can't we all just get along." :)

Thanks for a healthy debate.

Re: White Papers No Longer Than 3 Pages??

Paul;

I think we are in agreement.

The only issue is 3 pages or less.

Katie;

White papers are more formal (not necessarily technical).

Not sure I would suggest this opening story for any white paper.

It goes back to what I said about not having a captive audience.

Hey Mike;

I am so captured by people that can say things with word pictures.

It is a gift.

Not everyone has it.
