There are posts that I don't expect to receive a ton of comments on (such as market reports). Then there are posts I'd expect more comments on and don't get them and posts I don't expect many comments on and get swamped with comments. I've stopped worrying about it and just post what I want and let it roll... comments always appreciated, but I don't feel neglected if I don't receive them.

I purposely ignore that activity. It is selfish and rude as it pushes others thoughtful posts right off the front page.

Yes the points.  I am surprised how many post and do not allow comments. 

Roger D. Mucci I don't think it makes much sense.

Love the A's you are receiving Roger D. Mucci 

Points? I thought posts were to provide quality information to prospective clients. Google doesn't care when we post. Sunday evening posts for me are to complete my goal of marketing for the week that I didn't have time to do during the week. 

Stuff happens.

I'm not posting for the comments here.  I'm hoping the general public finds the posts.  I do like it when I get interesting comments though.

The only other thing could be they are hoping for ranking in their titled purpose ?

the points.

There is no good reason for anyone to be a robo poster. Most often they dont know what the heck they are doing when it comes to blogging and how to get results from it, in simple words.

When I see that tactic used, I usually scroll past all of them without reading or commenting.

People are saying that G eats this up even though I am in the camp that it is spam.

Reasoning of doing it on Sunday is less people to offend (their words).

I do not see a reason for marathon blogging other than the points.

Points, Roger, you know that

I'm too busy to think about points.

D~ 

Sorry I let things get bunched up there a bit last night Roger, hopefully G wont be upset too.

I get very few comments and even fewer features.  I like to do my investor market reports when I have the time.  If they are all in one day that is the way it goes.  If they stoped the point system it would not affect my participation.

I think I get the point.  

Nope, not my strategy and never will be

Roger,

Yes, we see those, and that is a clue of how they live and handle things.  It is just another job on their to do list.  A

Too bad it's not like Facebook or Twitter where you can mute those.

well, I don't need to say anything except "ditto to what Nina Hollander said"

OK, Roger; I resemble that remark (question).   I did something like this several weeks ago.   It  WAS NOT  about the points !

My SEO folks said I needed to set a "baseline" in my marketplace.   Some communities in my area had NEVER  been mentioned in my blog posts.   I needed to have at least one post referring to each of the towns and counties I am responsible for with the bank.   I did a short bio piece and sent it out.

I was courteous enough to send out a blog post, IN ADVANCE, apologizing for any inconvenience it caused my readers.   I also did it on a weekend to avoid clogging inboxes on a week day.   I was being respectful.

Truth is, I  DID NOT  get points for ANY  of those !   I told "Support" what I was doing and I ONLY received points for my regular daily posting that I did for that day.

It  WAS NOT a points grab, it was a calculated move to help folks find ME when they are looking for a Virginia mortgage loan or a Virginia Mortgage Loan Originator !   Apology accepted.

Some write the posts for consumers to read and do not mind not receiving comments.

It's much better to use the scheduling function.

Good morning Roger. It is probably being done of some Google juice, SEO purposes and AR points.

Roger D. Mucci - well, you got a point.....!

I do 7 market reports on Sundays for the week. And I am okay with no comments on that. (It does take time - almost 2-4 hours to complete them so I believe there are some faces inbetween...lol!)

I have about 500+ views on many of them and some crossed 1000  views mark, too.

The point for me is - I have to do 'that' kind of blogging for my business!

(And not defending my action...may be, I should do one every day.)

Yep, that's me!  I post them in a row because I do them all at once.  It's much easier to get them done when you're in a groove.  I budget 45 minutes to get them done, sometimes over two days with the way my calendar has been lately!

And to the comments, I post market reports and event listings.  I don't expect comments on those.  Listings to some extent I do.  When I write about something, I hope to get comments, but I won't cry myself to sleep if I don't get them.

I can't get 10 posts written all at one time. But if I did I would schedule them to publish at varied times.

Ten? I've seen members post 50 per time. I think one time I've seen 100+/day.

That's fine if that's the way you want to treat your blog. You will still have the information out there for the consumer to find. That is my ultimate goal...to have the buyers and sellers find me and see me as the local expert. Although I don't blog this way. I'm lucky if I even get ten posts in a week. 

Bingo, Bongo!

Many are not posting for points just SEO

Roger D. Mucci Sometimes, I don't expect to receive comments from some of my posts.

I see that with folks re-blogging as well.  Why not scatter them throughout the day ... and week?  

What about the public, which usually doesn't comment?

What point?

I know from personally being on AR daily, that you do not always have time to view and comment on everyone's post, even those that you Follow.  It can be days later than you get back to leaving a reply, so people should not be discouraged if they don't hear the same day.  That being said, there are multiple posts by the same author (robo posts) that I do not comment on nor read.  I've never done that myself, Roger D. Mucci.  Maybe it's part of their 'weekly quota' and that can be either business-wise or personal-wise - I do not know . . .  you are correct in that it does take up Front Page space!!  

It is a good time for a spring cleaning for the points system.

Roger, great question and comments. I am lucky to get five posts a week nowadays.  I'm with you, get rid of the points systems.

I do market reports on Monday and Wednesday. I never dump 10 at a time. 

And those ten in a row posts are typically not worth commenting on...

I don't care as much about comments or likes as I do about clicks.  It's nice to know I'm being read.

The serial posters do not get many comments, and usually listings or the same market report, different area.

Some people do market posts for different areas.  SEO is another reason.
