Interesting survey. I checked quite a few boxes, heh. My big ones tend to be "boring," although I don't really like that word, but I like to keep my list manageable and I also like being genuine. It's difficult for me to post genuine comments or give genuine support to blogs that just don't interest me. Ties in to that whole "fake" deal. I don't want to be a jerk to nice people, but I don't want to be a big fake either.
The other one was offensiveness. Yeah. Don't tolerate it much these days.
I would have added "too long" if I thought of it before I voted. I was guilty of that crime for a while, until I realized how hard it was for me to keep up when I was reading multiple long posts. When I started blogging, I thought 750 words was good, now I try to keep them under 500. Posts that took too long to get to the point dragged me down. Keep it succinct folks.
My biggest problem is time. I will start reading and if it is too long I bail on the post. If it is consistently too long, I bail on the blogger. I hate the technical problems with the comments. If I have to spend more time trying to post my comment, I bail on the comment and the blogger.
It appears, EJ, that you may have attracted a spammeritis irritatingus annoyingus in the comment above... I suspect our anonymous commenter probably copies and pastes the same comment into dozens of blogs.

You can vote for more than one, by the way. (And more than once for that matter, so feel free to skew the data!)
ReplyDeleteResults next week.
ReplyDeleteGood, because I voted for a couple.

Extraordinary posting! I'm just getting started in social media marketing and wanting to learn how to fully capitalize on SMO for business.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info!
I voted on the boring aspect of a blog.
