Reddit Shows No Love - and Lots of Love

I watched one of Jay's WAbinars the other day about posting to Reddit and some other sites, which I have not really been doing till now, so thanks Jay for showing me that.

Anyways I posted a few links on Reddit and was very surprised at the extra amount of traffic it sent me. From the time I went to bed to the time I woke up I saw a huge increase in traffic. Well huge for me at least.

Okay now to the main point of this post. I noticed I got my first negative comment about an article I wrote!The comment was on the Reddit link. and now for the comment and my reply.

also for reference this is the post he is referring to:

negative comment:

"How is eating this is any better than NOT eating this?

It's nothing but sugar, and maybe 2 or 3 grams of fiber."

my reply:

"Some sugar is not bad for you. In fact it can help sustain your blood sugar; I am not suggesting using smoothies as a complete dietary replacement. and for reference, 1 cup of say blackberries has 8 grams of dietary fiber, and one medium banana has 3.1 grams of dietary fiber. So try more like 11 grams. and not to mention bananas and berries are chalked full of vitamins and minerals."

Hopefully I didn't come on to strong. I wanted to write a lot more but since it was just a comment I could not really write much. Anyways besides the one negative comment, and about 4 spam post (the spam plugin caught them though) I am very happy with the extra traffic.
