This is a great post John.

Too many of the "gurus" tell authors to try to scam search engines with the blog.. not good.

For long term reputation, and a REAL connection with real human beings, it's much better to get involved with good projects.

The publicity is best when it's not the main event.

Frankly, I don't think millions of blog entries will change anything about the enviroment in one day.. but I appauld them for the effort. Years ago, I owned a company that did recycling and found that any Earth Day type activity was good publicity... rarely a huge spike in sales, but always positive.. with lasting reputation effect.

I'm going to encourange authors on my mailing list and blog to join in on Oct. 15th.

Thanks for the idea, I'll link to you on this one.
