Thanks for stopping by! Hey, why don't you do what all the cool kids are doing and subscribe to my RSS feed? You know you want to, so go ahead, be bad, be very very bad... :) Thanks.
Is it me or does it seem like there has been a lot of fights between bloggers lately? The most recent one involves Andy Beal vs. Jeremy Zawodny. Jeremy posted a story complaining about how Andy was running a contest for people to join Andy’s MyBlogLog community. A winner would win a Microsoft Zune. Jeremy who works at Yahoo and who also now owns MyBlogLog believed Andy was spamming. Andy fired back with a story of his own where he was unhappy to say the least. I also recommend reading the comments on both stories as they are interesting and tells even more of the story.
I think there are points on both sides of this issue to tell you the truth. Though I think what Andy was most upset about was how Jeremy went about posting his story without contacting Andy and discussing this issue before he posted the story. I do not know Jeremy personally, but I did have the opportunity to work with Andy for a couple of years. There is no-one I know in the SEO industry who is a bigger advocate of doing SEO the right way and to even accuse Andy of spamming is just absolutely out of character.
Either Jeremy broke the golden rule which was don’t write angry or he was just looking to get some attention in the community. I hope you are enjoying the attention, Jeremy.

Thanks for your support Cord!
No thanks necessary Andy.. I feel like there is a piece of this story that is missing. I have read Jeremy for a while and this seems a bit out of character.
