One must understand that there aren't any exact rules written in stone when it comes to blog promotion, only best and worst practices. Lol, glad we see eye to eye.

What I meant is, if someone intentionally links to his blog in every comment, that's kinda of spammy IMO. It's nothing wrong if you link to your blog in a comment, if it's relevant.

I mean it is, but I couldn't resist. Great tips though! I've been guilty about just tweeting my blog posts the last couple of days (but just each post, usually 2 or 3 a day). I please innocence because I have sick kids and can't sit at my computer for long. This is great!

I find myself on the receiving end of both of those strategies. One "friend" posts to my Facebook inbox this generic letter each week starting with, "Do you have a blog or website?" I am trying to get to know my friends....then "I like what I saw...yata yata" pretty unauthentic. That type of response is a real turn off and killed my motivation for blogging at all.

I don't totally agree with DO NOT #4 "Sign comments with your blog name instead of your real name." I think it's ok to leave a comment like this, "Rod @ The Success Center." It kind of kills two birds with one stone.<br><br>I do believe that a lot of new bloggers take too much from automation and as you mentioned, that's when it all falls a part for them.

Would a random mixture of twitter user acct names help? What about using a mixture of blog titles for linking back to your blog/site via comments?
