I am a splogger!

I was called a SPLOGGER yesterday. I signed up with another website that brag about the earn-money-while-you-blog concept. And I found it okay. And so I posted my recent blog and got comments. The next day I thought it's cool so I went over my collections of blogs and thought I wanted to post them there too. In other words, I over-do it. I posted 7 posts in a day. That afternoon I received this reaction... "you are a splogger, you are not welcome here" from a person (who happens to be the top member on the list, she is the highest earner I supposed to be on the top list) and who was also the first one to welcome me on the website. I also received another reaction like that from another member but her comment was more subtle and constructive. She just gave me pointers to be more effective there so I can get the attention of more readers. She is on the top list too. Two comments... two different impact... two different effects on me. I don't mean to be a splogger. I was just carried away and since I was blogging for a long time in another website I just wanted to share my write-ups. I wrote them back and said sorry. So for now I will stick around here and forget about that other website. I FEEL HURT. YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU SAY... BUT HOW YOU SAY IT. SOME PEOPLE ARE SENSITIVE. I DIDN'T MEAN IT TO BE THAT WAY.

Don't worry so much about what people on the internet think. We all have more and less enthusiastic days, and that top blogger should have applauded you for your efforts instead of acting insensitively, and perhaps on the basis of jealousy. I would continue on that website. She can't kick you off can she? If she can't, put her in her place by continuing to write, and maybe eventually taking her top spot. Study her blogs as an example of what it takes to be the top blogger and do your best. No one can ask you for more than that.
