How not to advertise a blogging event

blog advertising

Don’t search for your event topic and spam the blogs you find.

At least make the effort to look up the blog author’s name and send them an email. I would have gladly plugged Kinsale Arts Week if they had been polite. Big Bad Fail.

Wonder what “social media expert” told them it was a good idea?

That and don’t spell Kinsale “Kinslae”

That is one unusual domain for an arts festival. A staging server that got indexed by Google?

Ah, that’s embarrassing.

I’m supposed to be involved in that, but that’s cringeworthy carry-on.

Well, something to add to the discussion then? :)

I might even have gone there except the world wide photowalk is that day too.

Or maybe look down your sidebar far enough to see that you’re not “Entering the blogosphere”. Gotta love the comments that show the person leaving it didn’t spend 30 seconds looking at your blog.
