Anti-blogger Gives Aaron Some Stick

The fool must have read Aaron's stuff way back when and decided to try the contraversy angle to get a little link love. It will be interesting to see when and where he trys to point the juice.

is he gonna send the boys in, or what?

Gotta admire it - wonder where the $$$'s come in? Could be just for kicks, and that's ok by me too - this stuff is just too easy...

I'm scared. I don't like it when people are anti-blogged. Will Aaron's organs melt?

Well, I did retract like 9 hours after I posted.

Plus, it's not like jens site, womans-finance.com , doesn't look like a spammyer verson of the scraper sites we throw up 5 times a day. It was an honest mistake.

Try reading this without thinking about Aarons blog:

Who the fuck thinks that merely linking to stuff makes you authoritative (maybe authoritative on posting links to crap) and credible? You are just like all the other wanker bloggers out there that has made the “Blogosphere” a big incestuous love fest.

All your doing is saying “This guy wrote this shit and heres a link to it, look how cool I am!!!”, Good work mate, you can copy and paste [...]

If we forget for a moment that Aarons blog is the target here, that guy/girl actually makes perfect sense in my book. Sorry Aaron, that's not minted on you - I haven't even read your new blog (didn't know it existed before I saw this thread), but I'm sure it's interesting.

Anyway, if you just read the above "as is" it seems pretty okay to me. It's no use just linking out for the sake of it, there's got to be some kind of judgement involved. Otherwise it's just like this thread.

The quote does, however, apply to a whole lot of blogs, and it's totally okay to assume that linking to cr*p does not improve your authority on any specific issue but that particular one.

Disclaimers:
Again, I don't know if the quote applies to Aarons blog. I have not read that blog, but I assume that it's okay, unless it's some experiment Aaron is carrying out, in which case it might or might not be. Oh, and I don't know the person(s) behind that anti-blog either. [I feel totally stupid posting this many disclaimers, but English is my second language so I have to make sure that you people don't think I'm after Aarons blog: I'm not - I haven't even read it. All I'm saying is that the quote from the "anti-blog" makes perfect sense to me - if you forget for a moment that it's Aarons blog it's mentioning (assuming, of course, that Aarons new blog does not suck, which, of course it would not, unless Aaron intended it to, which could be the case).] Hope I made my point clear that the quote is perfectly okay in it's own right, but that I don't know if it applies to Aarons new blog or not.

"Who the fuck thinks that merely linking to stuff makes you authoritative "

Google, actually.

The registration details for the domain are dodgy, although he does seem to live in Western Australia (Perth is where the host is based). Any one want to pay me to take a 2 hour drive north and sort it out :-)
