This is so sad….People don’t really care anymore. Where are the ethics and morals in this world!

[...] Anyone that reads this blog knows that I hold Jim Boykin in the highest of regards and think is flat out the “jedi master ninja” when it comes to link building and link authority information. Earlier this week Jim posted about a smear campaign against him, and it really got me thinking about the downsides to really becoming an “authority”. So why would someone want to trash his name? Is it link baiting with bad ethics? In his post he talks about not being able to please everyone all the time and I totally agree, but why smear a good name because you don’t agree? Aaron Wall has posted before about critics of his spelling abilities, and more recently about ego’s, and had this to say about this attack on Jim: [...]

The irony is, you probably have way more resources and know-how to outspam and destroy this guy’s net cred, but being held accountable, as well as being a nice guy, you won’t stoop to his level. Bravo for you.

We aren’t all like that, honest

That’s messed up.

A seldom-discussed slant on reputation management…

Yep,

The net is the wild west…..

I’ve had this same crud happen to me before.

There’s nothing worse then your name being smeared in front of the entire internet.

but it’s true…. the more your name gets seen the more bound you are to piss someone off.

Good job on keeping your temper Jim.

If it makes you feel better someone called one of my blog posts “pathetic” today. ..

and Jeremy sure did hit Andy with a hard uppercut with his “MyBlogLog spam” comment.

Cheers Mate!

Jim

aprox 1,5 years ago Aaron Wall told me sth like this…

Christoph, if people start bitching about you, put up hate sites and stuff, then you must be doing something right - that’s what I learnt

(cannot recall exact wording, but you get the message)

There’s the power of a brand in action, Jim.

I saw that comment and immediately thought “Nope, that wouldn’t be Jim. Someone’s trying to cause some trouble.”

And moved on.

Even though I’ve never met you and my entire ‘relationship’ with you is via reading your blog, your brand (to me at least) is good and decent, etc.

Cheers
