Intra marketing
I have followed with interest favorable comments left at widely spaced intervals on my featured designs in the last 24. And yes, that person is leaving favorable comments on all featured designs, and it is a perfectly legitimate form of marketing.
However, being insecure, I am less than convinced of that person’s sincerity in praising my genius.

Of course they will love your wonderful work- I tihnk some people discover work through watchlist feeds, some from the daily listings and some from competitions and features.
I’m happy however they get to my page, and yes there are regulars and some who just pop by. Enjoy sweetie, try not to think to much of it- You ROCK !! xxxx

Hmm, yes I have noticed someone doing this too. They seem to leave very brief one word comments in capital letters. They even bmailed me a similar comment. Either they are not well equipped in the english language or as you say they just want people to look at their work too.
I guess it doesn’t hurt anyone does it? But I’m not a big fan of insincerity.

I almost have meaningless comment on ALL of my tees. Four in a row this morning. Oddly, I have no urge to return the favour.

It’s something I may be hyper-sensitive about, as I’m also in the blogosphere. The thing is, the “winning” paradigm doesn’t work on redbubble – connecting, which involves taking in the work (even looking at the entire body of work) and then commenting, does. Ultimately, opting for the “winning” model, in this sphere, is like trying to use a screwdriver to hammer a nail (substitute metaphor of your choice).
