However, I should note, since authoring this post, I've disabled the plugin that sends the thank you note, just in case.

It's a fine line, but I think the difference is that with spam, you're trying to sell something. With this personal email, it should be more of a very brief thanks and no pitch whatsoever.

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:02:51 +0000 http://weblogbetter.com/?p=254#comment-282 I completely agree with all above except e-mailing. A commenter doesn't expect to get a personal e-mail just because he commented, in my opinion and experience it would seem weird to him. And auto-responders are kind of not very far from spam. .-= Eugen R.´s last blog ..<a href="http://anime2.kokidokom.net/the-appereance-of-nagahara-aiko-and-our-meido-syndrome/">The appereance of Nagahara Aiko and our meido syndrome</a> =-.

I've tried all the others you listed here and they are indeed very effective. I'd like to mention that it is also a great idea to Stumble someone's post and give it a thumbs up on StumbleUpon - or add it to Digg. It is a nice treat for someone, especially if they are not a regular Stumbler, they will appreciate getting the unexpected new traffic. I'm using Diigo to save my bookmarks instead of Delicious. With Diigo you get the added benefit of being able to highlight important text and leave sticky notes on the page that anyone who goes to your bookmark can see.
