Now, it’s like striking below the belt! All these days, we have taken criticism from the Blogging Community - whether in good taste or otherwise - in stride. We rather accepted them as valuable pieces of advice that an infant organisation must learn instead of reacting to them blindly. But now it’s too much? Brushing aside all gentlemanly blogsphere norms, a blogger, Elliott Back, has put our blogs in the spam category of his site! - SPAM CATEGORY.
We didn’t find it too wrong when a blogger, described our script as “old- fashioned”, we didn’t say anything to people calling us “cheap content providers“, and we maintained our cool even when people found fault with the design of our blogs. Again, you will appreciate that we went to the extent of offering public apology on knowing that there were some plagiaristic stuff in one of our blogs. But how do we react to the conduct of Elliott?
On Sunday, when we went through the Post title Instablogs Sucks again, looking for “gems of Elliott’s advice“, we discovered that out postings were filed under SPAM!. Now, how the hell are we spammers? We may be short on content, both quantity- and quality-wise. But, that doesn’t make one a spammer. If we were spammers, we would have put tonnes and tonnes of data on all our pages. After all, creating a quality Editorial setup does take some time. We may be generating anything, but SPAM!
Why This Unfair Treatment?

If it isnt: Ruzz is right. If I were you Id focus on content, content and more content. Preferrably quality content. Who cares what the blogosphere thinks of you? All this bitching and bickering related to your launch will be forgotten in a couple of weeks when something new comes up that people in the blogosphere can rant about.
If you start taking everything thats being said in the blogosphere personally you might as well give it up because it will make your life hell. Theres nothing personal, its just people writing rants on their blogs.
If you still want to do something useful with all this criticism just use it to fuel your desire to do better, write better content and improve InstaBlogs in order to make sure its YOU whos laughing in the end.
Good luck! :)
