How Jason Fladlien Became A Household Word or A List Building Product Review

I just started working full time on establishing an online marketing business. I was a CEO in the plastics injection molding business making parts for cars for over 30 years. So having hired many sales and marketing people I sort of know the ropes. The first thing I decided to do is to get my name out there to establish an internet identity. I Joined Twitter, Facebook, and started a website to develop a niche. I bought some information online to help speed up the learning process. So yesterday I was watching a Jason Fladlien tutorial and got to video number nine on "pinging your blog". Very informative section. I do understand the point.

Unfortunately for me the term yanked me off task and became a nagging distraction. I have to get this off my chest so I can go back to learning internet marketing methods. So instead of a meaningful post adding some value to a topic, I humbly introduce myself to this group in the form of the following. Please don't hold it against me.

Maybe it's because I grew up a street kid north of Detroit but does this term "pinging your blog" just beg for double meanings? It just rolls off your tongue; sort of begs to be repeated. Pinging your blog, pinging my blog, pinging their blog. Something to add to the noise level having a beer with friends "I had my blog pinged today". Does it already hold double meanings to a younger generation and I just never heard of it before? Is it legal? Can you stand in your front yard and ping your blog? Is the term something you can use in casual conversation such as..."the other day while pinging my blog", or "Can you hold on a minute? I'm pinging my blog". I can picture George Carlin saying it.

I remember an old game show called "What's My Line" (you youngsters look it up on YouTube) where the panelists were blindfolded and had to ask up to 10 questions to guess a mystery guest's identity. The questions asked, (often shrouded in double meanings) would be like these: Are you well known for having this ability? Is this something you would do at home? Is it more frequently done in the daytime or at night? Is it something you would have to pay to have done?

Okay, okay enough. In any event, before today I can't remember ever pinging my blog.

Hopefully this will be moderated out of existence, graded for punctuation and never cross a computer screen, but I had to get it off my mind and get back to List Building 101. I am soaking up this stuff as fast as I can, am enjoying Jason's straight forward open approach and will forever be his loyal follower.
