Just do it while giving back to the community as well. Have you read The New Community Rules ? The thing is that Google has a great memory, but people are forgiving.

For your blog, any URL will do, and if you are writing for a blog with multiple authors, FriendFeed parses through the authors and only features blog posts written by you. Google, Wikipedia and FriendFeed. What I do to filter ALL of the info, is subscribe to specifc FF feeds via Google Reader.

I needed to differentiate Digg from social media because they actually are part of a distinctive community (and as you know, I’m very passionate about Digg so it really did deserve its own category). I get fixated on one community and ditch the last, yet I still have my profiles on them and they usually get outdated within minutes.

Conclusion Remember that social media communities are real relationships, real conversations, and as such, they should be treated like they are real.

These scenarios come to fruition in spontaneous communities, on social networks, and other self-service tools – all thanks to the availability of low cost technology and access to the world wide web. You can also not use the tools correctly or not behave appropriately within communities around the tools and market poorly.

Incidentally, this is why Google is so afraid of Facebook. Google has made a couple of dollars by reading and ranking Web pages.
