Spammer?!?? I read this article before it was pulled. AnaTheSpaCoach is a consultant. I went to the article, and found that she was trying to share some concepts by referencing a long article she wrote on the topic of "ideas to turn around your business for the New Year."
AnaTheSpaCoach is NOT a spammer.
I agree, her original post did seem a bit "sales-ish," but she was giving away a free article. I feel the article was too long to post in its entirety on this forum, so I'm guessing she felt the same way, and was merely trying to make it available to readers by referencing it. How is that spam?
It seems to me, that this list and its participants could benefit by the information consultants desire to post on this blog. Instead of chasing them away, calling them spammers, perhaps we could be a bit more helpful and instruct these esteemed folks on how we would like information posted.
My suggestion is: Please keep the GREAT content coming, and please feel free to reference articles (especially if they are free). However, consider putting the salient points and/or substance in your post, so I don't have to click to your article to really understand the information you're trying to convey. If I want to learn more, because it's of interest to me, I'll click on your link.
