I have been posting reviews in blogger as well as in different forums since long and iam getting much appreciable hits on the reviews but still iam some confusion and have a very serious question for you guys that what you would like to go for as there are so many blogs and forums for different categories like i have a interest on cell phone, Gadgets, and other IT stuff and so i like to go for cell phone reviews (http://fonicaupdating.blogspot.com) blog and so there are so many forums which giving much interesting news updates. So after reviewing the above cell phone blog and other cell phone forums, what do u suggest that where you will get much stuff for your category?

This is called subtle spamming and if you post it again you know which way the door is.

Well it stank like spam because the headline / title of the thread shows you lack the understanding to be able to differentiate between a blog and a forum.

Surely most users in this day and age are able to work out the difference between a blog and a forum.

If you seriously don't know the difference I'll say a blog is a personal publishing platform that lets you 'broadcast' your thoughts in a way where other users can comment and a forum is somewhere where the discussion of topics is conducted by members.

So, in my eyes, even though I am not a mod:

1) The title stinks of spam and ignorance
2) Your poor use of the English language reads like something my spam checker would filter out and bin so it never bothers me. Apologies, I understand it's not your native language but if you want to be understood you need a better command of the language.
3) Keyword optimised link
4) Cell phone reviews are not relevant here.
5) You bumped your own minute old post

So to answer your question: It's to discuss mobility, not mobile phones and not for noobie link dropping spam either.

If you want a link it would be a better idea to set it in your signature which you can do under the User CP link at the top of the site.

I've wasted too much time on you already.

I don't mind this kind of 'spamming'. To be honest...I've no problem with his blog and his articles in it. Good read..

Ofcourse the main purpose is trying to get people to your site..but hey..aren't we trying that all ourselves ?

This is really not a fair justification, how could you consider this a spam, the only reason you have seen that iam only writing a couple of lines and make a link to my blog. Then every person is doing the same thing
