The 2th Apology Letter By ShangNing


This entry was posted on Thursday, November 22nd, 2007.

I have to say sorry first, I've spammed recently and be punished for these evil actions. Many friends asked me that why they recieved the spam email, I told them I don't know. As a matter of fact, I have sent the spams.

My disgusting conduct has come in for much blame, and my Bloglines' account and Feedburner's account has been banned. I bloging this apology letter for three purposes:

  • Make a public apology in expiation of my error;
  • How to remove the spam email;
  • Promise not to do anything like that again.

Now, please allow me to introduce the event, there two paragraphs describing of the accident.

The content of bloglines' blog by Eric Engleman:

Over the weekend, a few individuals, including some of us who work on Bloglines, reported receiving Spam from Bloglines. It was a surprise for us and the few other Blogliners who also received the emails. While the total number of emails sent appear to be small less than 1,000, we think it’s serious enough to address because the spammer impersonated official Bloglines correspondence.

Emails were sent recommending several posts on a Chinese Blog via the “send a post to a friend” feature on Bloglines. The email ended with a signature from “The Bloglines Team.” The emails were not sent by anyone associated with the Bloglines Team.

The email I recieved from feedburner by Joseph Kottke:

We've gotten several complaints from our users saying that they are getting unsolicited feed subscription requests from you. This is against our terms of service.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

I know I was wrong, I should not do evil. So, please accept my apologies for what I did recently. At least, I will write the guide of how to remove the spam from your index box.

There are two types of spam, one sent from Bloglines, title is "Bloglines Recommendations", and another send from FeedBurner, the title is "Activate your Email Subscription to: shangning.net Blog".

The email from Bloglines just a common email, deleting it directly. Then, you won't recieve any email from my blog.

The email from FeedBurner is a RSS email, if you clicked the link in the email, you will recieving my updates everyday, so if you not want to read it, clicking the "unsubscribe now" link below the email, then you won't recieve any email from my blog.

Please accept my apologies again. This is not the first error I did, last time, I posted a link exchange request on Digg , then friends said that is an evil action, so I published an apology, I am just a blogger, there is no virus, no worm, and no trojan. I hope making more friends to help me improve my English, I meant no harm. Simply because I don't know the good way to get traffic.

I will work harder to get more traffic for my blog, but never spamming, I promise.

Wow, I can’t believe you posted a picture of yourself in a Chinese apology pose. Sweet!

But seriously, there are better ways to get traffic then spamming. And even if your SEO sucks. My blog explains many ways to increase your traffic counts besides SEO.

I’m telling you this because you said you don’t know a good way to get traffic. I can show many good ways. Follow me.

I certainly appreciate the fact that you took the time to apologize. We all work hard to promote our own work, and sometimes we fail in that.

Thanks for visiting my blog recently, and good luck to you in the future.

To succeed, you must only continue to do what you are doing, writing and developing your English vocabulary. Everyone makes mistakes, don’t let this discourage you.

Just keep blogging .. and blogging … and blogging … it will happen :)
