		<description>I agree with your statement

Just because you write your opinion on something doesn’t make your controversy something that will draw thousands of hits and hundreds of comments to your blog. If that was true, we’d all be blogging superstars by now.

You wanna be a superstar just be an actor hahaha</description>

		<description>99 comments is great, but it doesn&#039;t mean crap for conversion and ROI. Those people likely aren&#039;t going to be customers, which is why I&#039;m wary of that as a tactic.

However, Nick&#039;s post was just him stating a belief, which is great. I just wouldn&#039;t count on the traffic to stick.</description>

		<description>controversy can swing in 2 direction: for or against you..i do not really believe in controversy,i believe (like Nick )if you have an opinion about something(even if it is controversial and against popular believe) share it. 
some people will love you for it ,some people will hate you for it..it is the price to pay..but that should not scare you from saying...

		<description>Alex, 

You will see me around more. Although I have always read blogs, I only recently decided to start joining the conversations. I figure since I do it offline, why not online?!

		<description>Yes, I would also leave a friend if they choose to do something that was morally wrong (like cheat, kill, etc.).

As for the thesis discussion (or any discussion), a disagreement should not lead &#039;fighting&#039;. I like the example of you and Alex. I too am a thesis user, and love the theme. Therefore, I disagree with you, too.

Looking forward to more of both your and Alex&#039;s posts.

		<description>I think that a good controversial topic is a necessity for a good blogger. I have the number one site for &#039;Judo Book Reviews&#039;, and everywhere I go people comment on my &#039;Osotogari&#039; article. (Obviously, this is meaningless to most people reading this). But I took a completely controversial stance, and provided the evidence for it, and surprisingly, I&#039;ve ended up with a page one listing for that article.

Controversial posts will put you ahead of the pack, and make you memorable... how many here recognize &quot;Grizz&quot; for example? When it comes to IM, &quot;Grizz&quot; upsets everyone, and gets a load of traffic for his trouble.

On the other hand, if you post something controversial *JUST* to be obnoxious, I doubt if it would work. That&#039;s my opinion, anyway...
