Now, in order to increase the response, you can do one of two things:
1) Write an exceptional blog post that helps a large enough group of people (like most of the post featured on the sidebar on stevepavlina.com)
2) Write an inflamatory post that separates your readership in two groups that will never stop arguing with eachother
Option #2 is way easier and can possibly generate even more response than option #1.
It's however very, very dangerous both to the blogger's reputation and to the community (which is now divided in "us" vs "them").
"Modern day nazis" is a classic example of using option#2 to artificially increase forum posts (and ad revenue) |
yes very true, that's what bloggers do.
