Top 10 Ways to Piss Off Bloggers (Including Me)
As a blogger I am amazed sometimes how easily we (bloggers) get offended. Let’s be honest - being a well-known blogger has a celebrity feel to it, but many of us take it way too seriously. With that in mind, let’s review my list of “Top 10 Ways To Piss Off Bloggers.”
10. Disagree with the blogger.
9. Point out spelling errors.
8. Write comment spam.
7. Comment about something completely irrelevant.
6. Comment for the sole purpose of dropping a link.
5. Heckle the blogger (i.e., your blog sucks.)
4. Make a case that ALEXA Rankings are false and unreliable.
3. Google the person until you digg up something questionable, then blog or comment it
2. Tell the blogger that his blog celeb is getting to his head
AND THE #1 WAY TO PISS OF A BLOGGER:
1. Claim that the blogger censors his / her comments.
Can you think of any other ways to piss off bloggers?

I would say the lack of commenting when you could have something relevant to say that would add to the quality of the blogger and blog readers would piss a blogger off quite a bit.
(Do I get a prize for being the first to do so
)

haha - well, I think that’s normally the case. I’m guessing less than 5% of blog readers post comments.

It’s always annoying when people steal your content, post your ideas as their own or reference you without a link or using nofollow.

I can’t stand it when I get solicitations from clueless people wanting me to review their stuff or help them sell their products. I mean the kind that paste a 3 page pitch into my contact form that isn’t personalized, nor offers me any compelling reason to want to review their stuff in the first place. The real good ones don’t even have anything to do with what I blog about!

Both you and your blogs really suck, sorry to confess man, you even have PR0. Oh and…keep it lower with all this SE spamming, you’re getting nowhere. And that’s a sure fact i heard from my sources.
Also, now that you have 2-3 readers you think you have the right to tell them what not to do to piss you off ?
I’m quite sure you’ll censor my comment…but at least you’ll get my point.

I get quite mad when no one comments on my posts, makes me feel like i need to come up with a better story??

sandossu - you successfully offended me about 5 times in your comment - brilliant!

Kris, you set yourself up on this entry as a wide-open target for comments like sandossu’s. Someone was bound to do it just to be a prick, lol.

Daehee - oh ya….that was to be expected. I think I surprised some readers with the post, but I figured I would create a bit of controversy and have a little fun.

[…] * On the blogging front, Brian has 5 ways to look like an idiot. English was never my forte, but hopefully I don’t make those very often. For all you readers out there, Kris at Pepperjam lets you know how to piss off a blogger. I don’t really have this problem since I only have like 5 readers and they’re all my friends, but anyway. Hey Kris, you know how to piss off a blog reader? When your navigation links don’t work from inside your posts. […]

Haha Kris!! I love this blog post of yours!! Very true, although there are still TONS of other variables, but nonetheless, you nailed it on the head. I think a lot of people who don’t have their own blogs don’t understand what us bloggers have to go through, and how tough it is to sometimes come up with new content to blog about.

Jon - yeah, I figured I’d mix it up with a racey post (racey for me, anyway) - someone over at Digg commented that in effect I planted a big red bullseye on the Pepperjam Blog with the post, which I think is pretty funny. Hell - if I ever have a problem with hecklers or irate commenters I know who to call - you (Jon from WickedFire.com!)
Controversy creates buzz (and gets links.) Nobody is better at that than you!

Man, i respect you and your work, i just wanted to make a joke, i hope you didn’t mind
Keep up the good work
March 9th, 2007 at 10:24 pm
sandossu - hey - thanks for the compliments!
No - considering the basis of the post, I thought your comments were quite relevant and thoughtful.
I felt that you were playing around, but regardless you made my point of my post. As a blogger we take our work very seriously, often too serious.
We are lucky to have readers who are willing to read our stuff, especially when it’s useful to them.
