Topics: im not a spammer
I'm a little disappointed as I have a lot of integrity and most people that visit here regularly know that I contribute and encourage others and do my best to make people laugh.
I went to send Jeff a message to tell him about the joke I was having with google and he's blocked me as a spammer.
It was a joke as I get virtually no guitar related traffic from Blogcatalog, most of my stuff comes from elsewwhere.

Jeff Thompkins: Have you got anything without spam?
Acousticguitarist: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Jeff Thompkins: I don't want ANY spam! -
I don't want spam, I have heard that people have eaten it. I'm a vego and I don't think my parents would have allowed me to eat as a kid.
-
Besides, aren't you from more of a Veggimite region?
-
Funny...my wife won't let my kids eat it...and I'm going hey this is Australia not Poland...she freaks out so much if I buy it, I just don't bother anymore
she didn't speak English til she went to school -
Was this ever resolved ?

Hey, stop spamming the forums Panda boy
-
thanks I needed that
I'm in the middle of trying to move house...I need comic relief -
I can hear the Vikings chanting:
Spam Spam Spam Spam -
OK, that made me snort....

We know you're not a spammer...
by the way, nice John McLaughlin post-
It's great isn't it. I have a recent Shakti DVD, I liked his work with Shakti in the 70's, saw him live. Scarry guitar player.
My guitar teacher and friend (Ike Isaacs) apparantly taught him early in McLaughlins career, although Ike denies any contribution to his development I think Ike was being humble. A great player, he also taught Martin Taylor

come on, I've been on this board a combined seventeen minutes since last week, and I KNOW you're not a spammer... yeesh.
Hey, so I have a question. What is a spammer?
(j/k, that wasn't a real question, strictly for comic relief...)-
It was comic relief!!!
-
I feel relieved.
Well, that and I just went to the bathroom. -
seat down mate, the ladies get upset
-
Damn!! That explains why I'm single

I should do a 10 tips on how to pick up women.
You only need 1 though.
Go to a Yoga Class, it's real easy
Everyone's going to the pub and all the wrong places -
I had a stand up act on all the wrong things to say to a woman. It was freaking hilarious.
So, you're saying the women in Yoga are easy? Hey, you said it, not me -
Oh I'm in trouble here.
There are a lot of women out there that prefer men that are 'thinking' about their development, they don't visit pubs etc.
Health food stores are good, new age workshops, Guru Joe Bloggs comes to town seminar, the 'I think I'm from Pleidies' Society... the list is long.
It's a variation on niche marketing, no competition.
But hey, I'd love to see a video on how to do all the wrong things'

I guess, a person that has no integrity, is prepared to put themselves first and have no respect for others space and bombard them with information that is irrelevant. They do not build a relationship at all and only use 'push' marketing.
So for me to be called a spammer is a bit offensive. My sites have the best possible content and I give the stuff freely-
Coincidentally the Planet Earth Peace Party has written a post that has nothing to do with this particular discussion...

Thanks for a total relevant link :-)

Who's Jeff Thompkins? Is there another thread that more or less explains what this thread is about?-
Hi PetLvr.
Simply. I found out that one of my posts had had over 1000 views and I got rally excited about it. So I posted mad post to the discussions because I thought it was a funny way to celebrate. The traffic had come straight of google and will probably continue. In the poat the guy referred to my post as a spam thread, which it was not because I don't consider traffic from BC as anything more than social traffic by friends here. I then went to his shoutbox to explain the joke that I was having and he'd blocked me as a spammer. In an effort to explain myself and try and catch his eye I posted to the boards but he'd disappeared. Nothing serious really I guess but panda's do not spam

A friend of mine has a blog with a bunch of youtube stuff on it too. Gets tons of hits because of it. It's not original material but people go to his site anyway.
www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/help-google-keeps-sending-me-visitors-ser...
Well, personally I never see the need for people to take it 'privately' to the shoutbox for something they can't discuss out in the open, so he has the right to block your comments and keep his shoutbox clean i.m.h.o. I've done that a few times myself.
Although....
jefftompkins71
I'm just saying that my friend has a site with youtube videos all over it, with some text references what the videos are (so there are major keywords there) and he gets hits based on those keywords, as can be seen through sitemeter for example.
So grabbing a bunch of material that people are looking for anyway, and which he didn't create, he's getting hits.
His other blog, with original material gets fewer hits, even though it's linked to the youtube collection blog. I find his original blog more interesting.

and
jefftompkins71
Or grab some youtube vids that don't work!
OK, enough of this spam thread.
www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/help-google-keeps-sending-me-visitors-ser...
I thought your thread and a few answers (especially @timethief) were funny .. not spam! I guess jefftomkins71 thought otherwise. -
thanks ...yeah I shouldn't take stuff personally, I'm going through a shake up at the moment, am packing up my house and getting closer to moving to a new life.
True he has a right. But he said it was spam and it is my right to respond as I notice he had dis appeared. Someone else may come along latr and say it was spam also and then I have a reputation as a spammer. To send a one line message to someone to clarify something seems reasonably valid to me. Thanks for your comments.
I thought it was starting to get funny and I was ready to really go for it
Cheers Tony

Anniepooh: Rules!
acousticguitarist: you should read my blog entry
with the title: Have you ever seen a stressed dog?
Go to:
www.RioTheYorkiePoo.com
and then tell me what you think:-)
It's the right moment, you need it!
Jeff Thompkins: We know he is not a spammer!
We don't like spam over here! -
Smart little doggie
A ragtime blues
By the way it's a bit busy on that blog but I like it -
That other post should have been in shameless -
Yes it is a shame they don't se the humour.
But the truth is my best traffic comes of google
-
-
Shaleless?
i told you I'd try and do something funny with it -
The warmth, wit and intelligence of AcousticGuitarist will be sorely missed by this writer...
Kindest wishes...-
Gosh darn it, Gerry! You got my hopes up. Well, he still has his blogs and he's on twitter, if not real active there.
-
-
removed - did not notice the date and necro posted --- sheesh
-
@TimeThief: Have you seen the date on this thread? Gerry is causing chaos. He digs up old threads like this once in a while. With him I have learned to *always* check the date.
-
I didn't see that date yesterday but in the end that was no problem. I posted Gerry's hypocrisy for T to see and he read it before I deleted it.
-
-
Why would you start a thread like this? I don't get it. If you're using the guys real name, I don't think that's right, he has the right to block who ever he wants. I'm starting to think you are a tad sensitive.-
DrowseyMonkey, have you seen the date on this thread?
-
yep. still think it's a silly thread. And why someone would resurrect it is beyond me. Doesn't put him in the best light.
-
-
@DrowseyMonkey: Welcome to Gerry. He uses Ghandi's head as an avatar and thinks that is perfectly okay too. But I've kind of got used to him.
-
I don't get why people activate old threads, and who is gerry? If he liked the guy why activate this thread? Better yet, why do I care? LOL
-
You're asking questions that cannot be answered with logic. So I'll spare you the pain.
-
@Mark & Drowsey
I'm thinking I might try on either a Mother Theresa head or a Mary with the flaming heart as an avatar. What say you to those two?

In years to come, someone at Spam is going to change the recipe so that it's all vegetarian, same taste, same consistency. And still no one will eat it.

Most importantly I am happy that AcousticGuitarist is back on the blogcatalog discussion boards...Welcome Back....
