Do You ‘Nang’ Your Own Post? Yes! Why not?

This entry was posted on Apr 17 2008

Hello to all, this post is a respond to a post by one of the nuffnangers. I’m not trying to insult or start a flame war or what so ever. But I just want to express my own view and opinion from my own perspective. At first I know Nuffnang, I didn’t really know how to get such an immediate traffic to my blog. Before this I’m just hope that my blog will be listed on the first page of the search result which somehow sound impossible such for a new comer in this blogsphere. But after Nuffnang introduced a system called Innit, everything changed. At least, I still got an amount of visitors in a day even I didn’t post anything new on my blog. It’s better than no visitor right?



At first Nuffnang introduced Innit, users only allowed to submit their blog post url. After that, Innit comes more popular for those blogger who want to get an immediate traffic to their blog. And after a while, Innit comes with a new system which allowed users to vote aka ‘Nang’ which post they find interesting. Next, Innit comes with ‘Dang’ button which I can said it somehow a button to decrease the vote of the blog post. This 2 system becomes more interesting when Innit now shows which posts are most popular, which means got more vote from the nuffnangers and also which post got the top ‘Nang’ by the nuffnangers. Ok, that’s is Innit. So, to get your post to be listed on the most popular and top post, you’ll need to get ‘Nang’ by other nuffnangers. And of course you need to write something interesting so that peoples will ‘Nang’ or vote your post. But the question now, do you ‘Nang’ or vote your own post? Before I continue, lets have some screenshot here.. hehe

'Nang' your post!

maybe this post didn’t get much ‘Nang’, how about this?

'Nang' your post!

and this..hehe

'Nang' your post!

Huuhu.. see that? They also ‘Nang’ and vote for their own post. Is it ok to ‘Nang’ or vote your own post? My answer is, it’s all up to you. Ok why you should ‘Nang’ your own post?

  • Because it is your post. You write it heartedly with your own passion to write.
  • In fact it is your post, off course you like your post and you know it was interesting.
  • In fact it was an interesting post….
  • Off course you’ll and should ‘Nang’ it! :D
  • and you should be proud to be the first to ‘Nang’ your own post before others. :)

I don’t think it’s such a big deal for someone or blogger to ‘Nang’ for their own post. It’s only one vote or only one ‘Nang’. And you only allow to ‘Nang’ your own post once. Not two, not three etc. LOL.. It just one vote anyway. Otherwise you really love to see that number zero. :) If you think blog writer aka post owner don’t have right to vote or ‘Nang’ for their post, I think Nuffnang should come out with a filter that blog owner can’t ‘Nang’ their own post. *I wish it’ll not happen* :P

But the thing now is this..

I’ve right and been given a chance to vote or ‘Nang’ for my own post just once. Why not I just simply click that yellow button and give my post 1 ‘Nang’? Why not I grab that chance? I find my post interesting because I wrote it. And of course I’ll ‘Nang’ it!

When I got ‘Dang’-ed for the first time, I tried to figure out what’s wrong with my post till I got ‘Dang’-ed. I don’t know what’s wrong with my post. LOL.. lastly, is it only because I ‘Nang’ my own post. LOL again. What ever.

Before I end my post, my answer is, Yes, I’ll ‘Nang’ my own post! Yeah, because I write it and I know it is interesting so I ‘Nang’ it! huhu.. ok.. Chill ya.. don’t get offended. Again, this just my point of view.

P/s: Till now, I didn’t use that orange button aka ‘Dang’ button even once although I found that post is not interesting, because I don’t like to condemn their post like that. So, let it be. :)

  1. In case you haven’t notice, some people ‘dang’ for attention and rarely, it’s really because of your post. I doubt if they really read it before giving it a ‘dang’ either.

    Angie’s last blog post..I’m not “house-less”


  2. some people just dang/nang without reading. Or they read by right-click and don’t even want to nang it.. :(
    Dom.’s last blog post..Homerun for IMU xtra Plan


  3. @Angie, yup.. that’s doubt me too. Maybe they just ‘Nang’ because of the post title itself and not the content. LOL.. :D

    @Dom, do not ‘Nang’ its ok, at least they read what you try to deliver. ‘Nang’ somehow can be such an encouragement to the author to continue blogging and writing. I’m glad if people at least read what I’m trying to say, the numbers of ‘Nang’ doesn’t matter for me.

    and the numbers of ‘Nang’ also doesn’t show the number of people who read your post. One more, if your post don’t get ‘Nang’-ed much, it’s ok. It doesn’t means your post is not interesting. So, relax. Just continue blogging as usual. :)


  4. ya, i nang my own post,
    but wondering is that a stratergy on posting on innit at certain time will be better.
    coz sonetime i post up and wonder do anyone look at it or not…
    coz my ost will brush up to the second and thrid page after a short while…
    too bad…
    and rarely got people nang or dang my post.
    only nang myself…
    paiseh

    joshuatly’s last blog post..Gardenia price increase AGAIN!


  5. Me too. It happen to me most of the time. By the way, it’s depend at what time you submit your post. If you submit during peak hour, of course your post will be brush up to the next page faster. Otherwise your post was interesting enough to attract Nuffnangers to ‘Nang’ your post. And I wonder if there are anyone who are willing to discover till 7 pages at Innit. But, me sometimes did it. :)

    As I said, ‘Nang’ or ‘Dang’ is not an evaluation of how good or how bad your post. As long as you’re enjoy writing about it. It’s enough already. :)


  6. Haha. I used the big orange button before!
    Mostly used on broken links…

    3POINT8’s last blog post..[Tag] 5 random facts - assassin


  7. Agree!If you youself don’t feel it’s worth a nang why bother posting it?And you’re so much nicer than me,I would have wrote a whole blog post cursing all alone if I were to write on that same person(cough).heeheehee

    Sometimes when I don’t have much people ‘nang’ing me,I comfort myself by ‘nang’ing it.lol
