At first I thought it was cuz I'm a free user so those were paid stumbles. THen I realized that's the "send" function. IMHO, that spammy behaviour is far worse and more annoying than ads that aim - shock! horror! - to make a buck. I agreed in the TOS to see ads. I didn't agree to get sent the same page repeatedly by some egomaniacal jerk. Not to mention that his posts are court-jesterish for the most part. So? So the court spammer lost me as a friend.

Sometimes it really has bite if it is bad publicity. Well put. @Trisha: sure, I check out Copyblogger sometimes, yet don't recall which post you're talking about. @Mark: Getting away with it makes it sound so dirty :) The point I was trying to get across is to try to make was to make the content the as social friendly as possible. Good marketing is when people don't notice and/or care that they are being marketed to anymore. They are uplifted, entertained, and may even start to think about things differently. @Barbara Ling: publicity can be a tricky thing. Sometimes it really has bite if it is bad publicity. Well put.

But what you should ever keep in mind is that you should only participate in as many networks as you can spare time for. It is better to be really active in 5 networks then being half inactive in 10.

Ultimately here at Collective Thoughts its down to the individual author or in this case editor (me) to determine which links should or should not be nofollowed, given the post was from Ann the priority is not seomoz or SEJ both of which have enough inbound links.
