You’re dragging me down, man

Seems like every idea I have lately has either already been done, draws an adverse response or is prohibitively difficult to do.

My latest combined a bit of both. There exist services on the web where people who are starting new forums can purchase posts. These come from real human participants and help to stimulate a conversation so that when real users find the site there’s something for them to join in.

Well I figured a similar service for people who are attempting to start a blog would be useful. Generate blog comments to stimulate a conversation with your readers. Unfortunately someone already started something similar but from a different approach. They’re selling blog comment posts to people who want to get back links out of them. Essentially spamming people’s blogs.

I’m not sure that this really negates what I think is the benefits of my own idea. That is blog promotion by stimulating conversation on your blog vs blog promotion via spamming your backlinks across other peoples blogs.

Still I think at the very least I’ll be putting this on the back burner for now.
