I can also see where lack of popularity and sharing leads people to loose faith, loose heart, and modify their approach, but then who\u2019s fault is that when they decide to compromise their own principles? Nobody makes another do anything; we all have free will and choice to do as we wish. We can stick to our principles and act in ethical manners, or we can cave in and sell out, and that\u2019s what it\u2019s about in the end.\n\nAlthough social media is a boon for many, it\u2019s not, in my humble opinion, a good idea relying so much on any one means of visibility. Being online and having my first website online since 1997, I don\u2019t see me changing what I do. Since the beginning, I\u2019ve avoided short cuts, because most short cuts, especially relating to SEO, as they eventually wind up being fruitless when search engines change the way they do things. The same goes for copy and paste article marketing, as the recent Panda update killed that as well. Do I need to list out more areas where shortcuts never last the long term and why it\u2019s more important to find base things that stand the test of time?\n\nSince the beginning, I\u2019ve always written content to do something for the reader. I\u2019ve written it in such ways that I provide ethical information, and by the time someone reads something I\u2019ve written, they can actually DO something with it. I\u2019m not going to change what I do or sell out simply because I don\u2019t have dozens of people tweeting or sharing my content. If nothing else, it can be my journal and reminder of what works, and what is ethical so that I never loose my morale compass. I\u2019ll rely on other means to get my content viewed, not just the need of people sharing it.\n\nAs for quality, that\u2019s highly subjective. Many think because they have thousands of copies of their content all over the internet that it equates to quality. Some others think because they\u2019ve written a thousand or more articles, that equates to quality. Still others think because they get thousands of hits to something that equates to quality. Volume as a metric for quality is ridiculous. Quality means the reader can actually DO something with what they\u2019ve read. It solved their problem. If we want a real metric of quality then we must submit to places that rely on quality for their livelihood, and article directories and other such places are not the best method. Try a magazine in a niche that honestly must produce quality in order to receive sales. Submit and get published consistently, and THEN MAYBE we have quality. A more accurate answer is that we have the ABILITY to produce quality, but that does not ensure that each thing we produce IS quality.\n\nLastly, the craze of niche marketing is partly at the root of the sharing issue. When someone views a highly focused website, if they wish to keep the secret to themselves, they do not share. Now, the same person viewing a similar website with variable information, might be willing to share other content from the website not violating their secret things. Just like anything else, all things have good and bad points. We can either rant about the way things are, or adapt and find ways around the challenges. That\u2019s what makes the difference between success and failure.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jim Sanders","url":"http:\/\/www.howtomakemoneyonlines.org\/how-to-make-money-online-blog\/"}}]},{"@type":"BlogPosting","@id":"https:\/\/www.adamriemer.me\/blogging\/tips-on-pitching-people-to-guest-blog-or-get-an-article-posted\/","headline":"Tips On Pitching People To Guest Blog or Get an Article Posted.","url":"https:\/\/www.adamriemer.me\/blogging\/tips-on-pitching-people-to-guest-blog-or-get-an-article-posted\/","datePublished":"2011-02-05","dateModified":"2011-02-05","mainEntityOfPage":"https:\/\/www.adamriemer.me\/blogging\/tips-on-pitching-people-to-guest-blog-or-get-an-article-posted\/","author":{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.adamriemer.me\/author\/adamriemer\/#Person","name":"Adam Riemer","url":"https:\/\/www.adamriemer.me\/author\/adamriemer\/","identifier":2,"description":"Adam Riemer<\/a> is a two-time Affiliate Summit Pinnacle Award winner and marketing veteran who has appeared in the NYTimes.com, Forbes, SearchEngineJournal, MarketingLand, Feedfront and more for his knowledge and experience in affiliate marketing, SEO, PPC, monetization strategy and conversion rate optimization.
