Advertising Agency industry Veteran George Parker has officially declared war on MediaBistro. The title of the post is called “Is MediaBistro a bigger scam than Draft/FCB!”
The comments that follow are enormously embarrassing. The problem we have here is that personally we feel that MediaBistro is the problem, not the individual bloggers.
For the longest time we have offered to fix the site, SEO it properly, and add proper Social Media aspects to the site, ensure an easy comment system….. at one point we offered to help them virtually for free.
The individual bloggers there were 100% on board, management however was not. They seem to think that they can do it alone, leveraging their other bloggers within their network to do inter-promotion between blogs. Sort of like taking two broken cars, and hoping to cobble together one that works.
It’s not a valid solution, but what do we know…. we’re just a bunch of tech marketing geeks that code for a living…
Trying to turn a dime on that network of sites with advertising during the great depression is going to be difficult to say the least…
