			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Update: 4/6/2009 &#8211; According to Todd Bavol from Integrity Career Transitions this was the case of a volunteer who was posting to bring awareness to the event who was not aware of common posting etiquette &#8211; i.e. posting something RELEVANT to the discussion of the blog.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I&#039;ll give them the benefit of the doubt on that. You can register for the Deleware Job Hunters Group event at this site:</strong></p>
<p><a title="Integrity Career Transitions" href="https://www.integritycareertransitions.com/Default.aspx"><strong>www.IntegrityCareerTransitions.com</strong></a></p>
<p>As usual, I&#039;ve maintained the old post for historical purposes:</p>
<p>I noticed The Delaware Job Hunters Education and Networking Event when I saw a random blog comment from Integrity Career Transitions in the spam section of the WorkAtHomeTruth blog.</p>
<p>Sure enough, The Delaware Job Hunters Education and Networking Event had posted a completely random, unrelated comment at the end of <a title="Zero Fee Home Business Trials" href="http://www.workathometruth.com/blog/2009/03/18/zero-fee-home-business-trials/"><strong>this article about Zero-Fee Home Business Trials</strong></a>. I decided to approve the comment because it&#039;s a great example of how NOT to post in blog discussions and how to get labeled a blog spammer instead of a value-added contributor to a blog discussion.</p>
<p>So let&#039;s see what&#039;s wrong with the post made by The Delaware Job Hunters Education and Networking Event:</p>
<ul>
<li>It is not directly related to the top of the article. Although there may be some overlap in the audience for their site and the topic of the article that&#039;s not enough to prevent it from being considered blog spam. Any comments in a blog discussion must be very tightly related to the topic of the blog post.</li>
<li>It promotes the IntegrityCareerTransitions.com website within the blog post. While posting a link within a blog post isn&#039;t defacto blog spamming, because the post by The Delaware Job Hunters Education and Networking Event is so off-topic, the fact that they also posted a link to another website makes it even more of an example of off-topic spam.</li>
<li>It doesn&#039;t reference the article posted on the page at all. In fact a post like that could easily be made by automated blog-spamming software.</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#039;ll be examing The Delaware Job Hunters Education and Networking Event in more detail, but one question you should ask yourself is whether you want to work with a company that claims to be able to help you in your job search if they don&#039;t even know the basic rules of Net Etiquette.</p>
<p>Also, I&#039;ll show you the CORRECT means by which other business have approached WorkAtHomeTruth to request we mention their websites or events.</p>
<p>I feel a little bad that I removed the Delaware Job Hunters Group phone number from their blog spam comment, so to be fair I&#039;ve generated all possible permutations of their 7 digit phone number  that follows their 302 area code. So now you at least have a fighting chance of getting their correct phone number via the following easy to follow flash slideshow:</p>
<p><object width="550" height="400" data="http://www.workathometruth.com/artwork/302Permutation2.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://www.workathometruth.com/artwork/302Permutation2.swf" /></object><br />
Note: It&#039;s not clear whether IntegrityCareerTransitions had anything to do with this blog-spamming incident or if it was merely a solo act of The Delaware Job Hunters Education and Networking Event.</p>
