Hey,
it’s August, and you’re still getting readers. After Harvard Business Services featured your blog, I subscribed, and have slowly been catching up on every post of yours for the last two years. I just wanted to post an encouraging note! Even if some people don’t retweet, digg, or comment, it doesn’t mean your stuff isn’t appreciated. My small team (3 owners + 1 employee) are getting lots of value out of your writing already. If we were set up on twitter, I’d be retweeting stuff. We’ll get there…

Hi Julie:

Thanks for taking the time to comment! And I agree about Google. When you watch their three-minute video on “How to Get Your Site Re-Listed,” they make it sound so easy—they tell you to be detailed, and make sure you give them enough background to make a decision. Then when you re-submit, they don’t tell you anything. They don’t tell you if your site was actually penalized, or (if it was) what they plan on doing about it. The entire process was for lack of a better phrase “completely stupid,” and I expected so much more from Google than I got.

Thanks again for taking the time!

Thanks Eric for your honest and humble post. It is refreshing to hear others admit that they have made mistakes too. I had to chuckle at your #4. My Blogger blog was identified as spam – not fun trying to get it back. It isn’t like you can just pick up the phone and call Google. It took about two weeks and when I did get it back, I immediately switched to Wordpress.

Having started my QuickBooks blog at about the same time as you, I completely agree with your thoughts and comments, especially lesson #1!

Hi Eric,

As a matter of fact, last Monday I posted part 1 of a blogpost about competitive intelligence for small and medium business (CI – Think Big, Start Small). I really think CI can be of great importance for small business as well. Please do have a look at the article and let me know what you think. I’ll post the second part next Monday.

Regards,
Jeroen

I just took over the social media marketing and blogging responsibilities for http://newenglandmultimedia.com at the beginning of this year, and this blog is going to save me a lot of wasted time! We have moved from being a production studio for web, audio, and video and branched out into marketing our clients and ourselves using those tools on the web and in other ways.

Internet marketing fascinates and excites me! I’ve bookmarked your site and will be reading all your “Related Posts” later.

Thanks for writing!

Hi Eric,

Very interesting post for a (relatively) junior blogger such as myself. What I like most about it is the obvious honesty, which leverages the tips enormously. I like lesson #1 in particular. I am blogging about a not-so-popular-business-topic(-yet) (competitive intelligence) and sometimes it’s frustrating to write one of your best posts (in all modesty) only to find out your public doesn’t appreciate it as much as you hoped. So I fully agree with you on that one!

Cheers,
Jeroen
