Are You an Annoying Social Media Promoter?

One thing that always grinds my gears a bit is when a person reverts to over the top annoyance just to have their story seen and forget the rules of humanity in the meantime. To really help identify these users and why they are annoying, I wrote a post over at Search Engine Land entitled The 6 Types of Annoying Social Media Promoters.

Here is a snapshot for my own internal names to these social annoyances:

  • The Impersonal Users
  • The Crazed Cross Promoters
  • The One Way Streeters
  • The Always an Emergency Users
  • The Convenient Users
  • The Total Spammers

Think you might be one of them? Well, head on over to Search Engine Land to read the full article and find out!

    Using social media to promoter yourself needs careful consideration. Its ok to shout when you have something relevant and purposeful to shout about. Constantly ranting and pushing the same message down peoples throats will have an adverse effect!

    Now a days social media is a good way to attract traffic and potential visitors to our sites..
    So everyone is exploiting it for their own good that is very bad!
