Blogspam + Expecting a BABY!!!

    Hi all,

    Over the past month, posts from my blog ( http://www.SayNoToCrack.com/ ) have been front-paged on Digg and reddit. In all cases, I've received comments that my site was filled with "blogspam" (and they weren't referring to comments as I don't allow spam to go through). Anyone know what they mean?

    Should I change something on my site to make it look less 'spammy'? I've averaged 15,000 UVs per day this month (10,000 if you take out Digg and Reddit), so I've considered my site to be relatively successful and maybe these were just isolated comments? I'm not sure why it's bugging me so much ... I never expected to write the New York Times, just something to make people smile a little each day.

    ALSO, I'm excited to announce that I'm expecting a baby in September! #2 is on its way, woohoo!

    Anita :)

    Diggers consider blogspam blogs that have ads on them or blogs that try to get dugg just for the point of being dugg, I would say ignore them. If your getting dugg you must be doing something right.

    Btw, how about a link? :)

    A link to what? Sorry, not sure what you mean (I can be slow at times).

    I don't have any ads on my site, and have never dugg my own articles ... which is why I was confused. Thanks!

    Diggers are not nice people. For some reason they consider your blog spam. I dont know why as you dont have ads as you said.

    Btw I was talking about a link on your site for free, it was a joke :)

    A lot of diggers are miserable human beings, just ignore them.

    I think your blog is fine. And congratulations on the baby. :)
