Ha! Even as a newcomer to the land of blogging, I’m easily drawn to new ideas for blog posts.

If you are in the same boat, you must check out John Scott’s Seven Hot Blog Topics, a brilliant tongue in cheek review of the sketchy tactics (I’ve gone above and beyond and used a modge podge of 4 in the title of this post in case you were wondering :)) people resort to in order to increase their blog traffic and links.

I must say I truly believe that his conclusion OR #7 on the list:

Or, just be legitimately userful and post well thought out posts that help others, make them think, and are truly insightful.

is the way to go. I’m guessing you’ll agree if you actually responded to the title of this post and are now sadly disappointed as to the content! As much as we all wish shortcuts and tricks could swoop down and instantly solve all of our online SEO, traffic, etc. problems, in my opinion, NOTHING will ever replace the value and credibility of direct, informative, intelligent content!

What do you think? Is it ever appropriate to post solely to create your own blogroversy in business blogs? Have you ever used any of these techniques? I’m curious as to how that really works out for online biz folks.
