You know I really do not have anything too negative against Digital Point. I am a happy member over there, and as well as WickedFire, Warrior Forum, RJ Forum and Self Starters Weekly Tips. I can see a boatload of animosity and maybe even jealousy between the forums and it’s members. Well back up for a second, we can exclude RJ and Self Starters from that list, as either of these forums could give two squirts. As for the other three, it’s alarming how many times I come across a virtual bash or a verbal poke at one or the other.

Now for some people forum bashing and all of that nonsense might be for you. I can say I rather stay out of it, as you can see earlier this past week, I tend to have more personable problems arise than to sit around and bash other forums. The deal is that I like all 3 forums. Of course they all have their perks and there are different things that can upset the “herds” rather quickly. One of them, is that you really do not talk about other forums when your there.

Ok, I can handle WickedFire’s cockiness beacuse they have a ton of cool people that go out of their way to help you and Warrior Forum’s “pact of wolves” that will jump at your throat if you say something even remotely close not to their liking. One thing I cannot really stand is that Digital Point’s Freebie section used to be “FIRE”. I have found countless gems lying about in their freebie section over the past year. But now it’s like a viagra stand for a pack of horny old timers getting paroled from the nursing home. Here’s some of the shit I witnessed today:

• Stumb Unlimited: Unlimilited
• Free Stumblessss
• 1:1 Stumble Upon Exchange
• Stumble + Review 1:1 - Fast
• UNLIMITED Stumbles - NO CATCH!

Alright maybe I am being a little harsh. I just never had the problem of acquiring traffic so maybe I am going a little overboard. I may also be over-reacting because that is the freebie section and anything goes.

But…

Something tells me that the quality of those sites and furthermore the projected traffic plans for them are going down the crapper. Who in the world goes and asks other people to stumble their sites in an Internet Marketing forum? I mean seriously, if your in a marketing forum and asking for the AWESOME (sarcasm) quality of traffic StumleUpon is going to send you, then you have issues and it’s time to go back to the drawing board. Now, I am not just talking about DP’s stumble exchange, I am talking in general.

Spending time in a forum asking for people to stumble you is a waste of time. You might get that influx (well maybe) of traffic right there, and then what are you going to do? Stumble users are very finicky and I truly believe they have some type of system in their minds when they land on a site to properly evaluate it and decide whether they will stumble it too.

Instead of asking people to Stumble you, why don’t you spend time creating something people WILL want to stumble?

Rant over while I sort thru all this DP crap,
