When that occurs, I really feel as I require to comment using the hope it may be interesting to some individuals. Because you will find lots of blogs and forums with many points of view, they question your comprehension. It is at these moments when you have important insignt other people may not have had, together using the blogger him/herself. I find myself coming back again to to your writings only simply because you have a number of very good insights and also you have been at this a really long time, that is really inspiring and tells me you understand your stuff. Keep triggering imagination in others! What I love about blogs is that they spark an idea in my brain.

As for myself, I do use "we" sometimes but not to appear that we are a team of people but if I am selling my own product, I do not feel comfortable to use "I" as it sounds kind of self-centered, as if I am proud or something. So "we" sounds more appropriate. Maybe its like the Queen will "we" to refer to herself. :) <a href="http://www.blogpost.ezine4success.com/">For Bloggers Who want to Stop Writers' Block</a> I am sure there a lot of funny things people do to appear more ‘guru’-like.

You correctly point out that readers look for social proof when weighing up a site. Are lots of people commenting, does the author seem to be respected, do they know what they are talking about, etc? Anyone who is Internet savvy can spot the fakers but Joe reader is probably not going to. So yes, faking it might annoy people like us who are already established, it doesn't seem quite fair so trying to humiliate such people by laughing at them seems an effective way of trying to discourage it. But the reality is I would argue that these techniques give you a better chance of getting somewhere and getting there quicker. The one that always stand out to me is fake RSS feed counts that use a static feedburner image stored locally! The feed count says 70k yet the blog just doesn't look all that great! I'd always recommend that bloggers try and make their site looks active, don't try to fake millions of readers, you'll look silly and will lose trust, but you don't want the site to look dead either. .-= BLOGERCISE´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.blogercise.com/seo/the-adsense-seo-guide" rel="nofollow">The Adsense SEO Guide</a> =-.

Yes about their “we” as they say, there is power in numbers, even if it’s a bunch of idiots. As is the whole network thing, makes you seem more powerful. It’s all about power, and showing it off even if you really don’t have it.
