Shalom!

Thanks to all those of you who have been reading my blogs. Today I'd like to share with you a review of this wonderful article about responsible blogging, written by Daniel Scocco. Very soon you may be writing for your own blog as well so its important to know about this. It will also be important to have reviews of your blog overall and your posts. You can invite persons to write reviews of you can Buy Reviews

Daniel shares a bit about the history ob blogs as personal online diaries or journals- but they later took on a much more professional nature, so much so that blogs are as important as mainstream sites. This historical beginning however has caused many to suspect blogs and dismiss them as bing unreliable since they are posted by individuals with no necessary credentials. Today however this is far from true. Notwithstanding there still needs to be some ground rules that govern blogging. He shares ten such guidelines.

1. Check your facts- always seek to verify the veracity of the info you post. This is quite easy to do using the power of the internet. But this is quite important. Its can save you from embarrassment and harming others.
2 and 3 deal with copyright laws. These should be respected and the implications of not doing so carefully considered. There are moral, ethical and legal issues at stake here. This is excellent in terms of a guide as too many internet users glibly take info and reuse without batting an eyelid.
4 deals with the need to control the comments. Most blog sites allow you to select whether you want to moderate comments or not. Its in your best interest to moderate as your blog becomes your responsibility. Don't allow some stranger to brand you or spoil your reputation. 5. Speaks to intellectual honesty, give credit where it is due. This is only fair and reasonable. 6, It is only fair and reasonable as well to disclose your professional relationships and place necessary disclaimers where the views you express are yours and not representative of the organization. This is great advice as people tend to associate by groups. Respect your colleagues and protect them. 7. Deals with disclosing when you are doing a sponsored review ( as I am doing now). 8. Your blog is a good place to advertise your affiliate links but its best not to cloak them here as the visitor may feel deceived. Allow him to make the choice that way you won't lose a visitor, which may mean the potential loss of many more visitors. 9. Respect for tax laws- your earnings should be properly reported according to the tax laws. 10. Encourages bloggers to play fair and not employ the tricks used to deceive search engines etc. These may bring temporary results but can hurt your site or your credibility in the long run. The writer goes a step further by providing a link to 25 ways to legitimately optimize your blog ( I clicked on that link of course).

This is a timely and fantastic article. I am glad that I came across it, though this is a sponsored review the information gained is invaluable.
