And this is why (in part) I continue to read you.I think that asking people to stumble/kirtsy/dig/retweet you has its place. "I need your help to save the orphan lemurs! Pls RT!" makes sense. "I wrote a new blog post about Gate Gosselin! Pls RT!" not so much.

It's a hard line to draw. Needing to get the word out but at the same time, not wanting to appear ridiculously self-promotional.Thankfully, there are enough promo-moms out there that whatever you or I do, I don't think we'll make it to that level.

Great post - really nails the ambivalence a lot of us non-Promo-Moms feel about content versus traffic as a priority.4. Adventures In Babywearing

I loved this. I still have never even done a stumbling before, and already planned to forget the blog cards at BlogHer this year. I want people to just remember me. And if they don't, then they probably won't read my blog anyway.5. Leslie

New York Times? Tattoo that URL on your body. Monogram it on a purse. Shout it from the mountain top. It's that awesome.6. Amy Sue Nathan

I agree with all of you - sometimes it's ok - sometimes not. It's the motivation behind it that gets me - it's like junkmail and the 800 phone calls from solicitors. Sometimes you open it and answer and sometimes you're glad - mostly though - not.All of you above whom I know - don't do that. Promo-Moms don't read others content unless they're mentioned - or have something to gain for their own blog.
Preachin' to the choir...again!

You are so true to yourself. You are a passionate, gifted writer who takes her craft seriously. I admire that so much.But I am disappointed that I'm not going to get to see you walking around with "PROMO MOM" on your bottom. That would have been priceless!
