Funny Queries by Bloggers

As some of you might know, my job involves a lot of communications with bloggers be it through email, helpdesk replies or even physical communication during events.

Helpdesk replies are very important as most bloggers who encounter problems or not sure of how Nuffnang service works write in to us seeking solution or information. My team and I will no doubt do our best to assist every single blogger who writes in.

However, some bloggers are rather amusing in their queries which carved many smiles and laughter to my team and I. I'm gonna share some of them and how I reply them.

Hi there. Can you let me know why my visitors drop? Yesterday I have 146 visitors and today I only have 133 visitors? I need to know the explanation of this. Is the analytic tool buggy? Please reply me.

Hi [name],

Our analytic tool is working perfectly fine and tracks your visitors accurately. I can't exactly pinpoint any specific reason for your traffic drop, but do bear in mind that all sites/pages/blogs in the Internet do not have a constant value of visitors. Instead, all of them have visitors within a certain range of numbers like between 100-200 daily for example. This is due to the fact that not everyday your blog will have the same amount of people reading it.

I hope this information is helpful. Do let us know if you need other information.

Well, it happens. Some users are pretty new to the Internet so there's nothing wrong in shedding light on the basics, right?

I have a blog at somethingsomething.blogspot.com . I wanna put moving kittens running on my blog header but I don't know how to do it. Can you help me?

Hi [name],

I'm sorry that I can't assist in this matter as we're only responsible for Nuffnang services only. However, we can suggest that you bring this matter to Blogger.com 's helpdesk instead. I'm sure they'll be willing to help you in this matter. After all, you are using their services.

This is basically a stand I ask my team to take, don't do things that you're not supposed to do. The query was pretty obvious open ended and to actually solve it for the blogger, it will take a long communication process. As there are a lot of bloggers sending in queries everyday, we've to assist those which are enquiring about our services. Thus, moral of the story is - don't clean shits pooped by others. Lol.

I've a very cute blog. Please read my blog at somethingsomething.blogspot.com. Thank you!

Hi [name],

Thank you for letting us know on your cute blog. I'll definitely share it with my colleagues. However, our helpdesk system is only meant for bloggers to enquire about our services or facing a difficulty with our services. As this ticket doesn't fall into either of these purposes, I'll now proceed to close it.

Thank you for writing in to us.

Okay la. Sometimes new bloggers are desperate to gain traffic and they spam everyone's comment and they thought they should get the attention of Nuffnang staffs as well. Lol.

Hi Nuffnang. I'm new. Can you teach me how to blog?

Hi [name],

We're sorry but we cannot assist you in this query as the methods on how to blog is simply too wide to cover. In addition, the helpdesk is only meant to assist bloggers who have enquries regarding our services or facing difficulties using our services.

However, I can share with you my own personal opinion on blogging. Blogs should be a form of your own expression and should be written in whatever manner your heart desire as long as you're aware that you're accountable for what you publish on the Internet. You can read blogs by other bloggers to find out how they do it. A good source would be to check under Innit.nuffnang.com where we have many other bloggers gathered to share content with each other.

I hope my personal view helps. Have a nice day ahead.

Of course, the answer I replied actually took me 30 minutes to think if I should just brush the query aside (don't clean unnecessary shits) but out of goodwill as a blogger myself, I actually offered my point of view. Of course, before I do that, I actually had a laugh and share with my colleagues that the query posted was no doubt amusing.

Oh well, I'll share more funny queries when I remember them.

P.S. I just feel like posting a cute guy's picture. So bear with me. Lol.

Our analytic(al) tool is working perfectly fine (either perfectly or fine - not both) and tracks your visitors accurately. I can't exactly pinpoint any specific (either exactly or specific - both mean the same thing) reason for your traffic drop (the drop in web visitors to your blog), but do bear in mind that all sites/pages/blogs in the Internet do not have a constant value of visitors (expression is off - it should be 'but it is essential to note that web traffic varies from day to day and is never a constant value'). Instead, all of them have visitors within a certain range of numbers like between 100-200 daily for example (expression is off again - Many, however, have web traffic that falls between a range, for example 100 to 200, and visitor count can fluctuate within that range daily). This is due to the fact that not everyday your blog will have the same amount of people reading it (This is the worst!! 'Not everyday'?! - This can be attributed to the fact that a different number of people will be re-visiting or chancing upon your blog on a daily basis.)

I hope this information is helpful. Do let us know if you need other information. (I hope that this piece of information is of use to you and hopefully answers your questions. Do revert if you require additional assistance)

---

We're sorry but we cannot ('are unable to' - you CAN assist.) assist you in this query ('area'. It is impossible to 'help' a 'query'/'question') as the methods on how to blog is simply too wide to cover ('as methods of blogging range drastically and spans very different methods and styles'). In addition ('Also' would be better. Just because you use longer words doesn't mean.. well, anything), the helpdesk is only meant to assist bloggers who have enquries regarding our services or facing difficulties using our services (assist bloggers who encounter difficulties utilising our services).

However, I can share with you my own personal opinion (YOUR opinion is ALREADY personal! Use one OR the other. Not both) on blogging. Blogs should be a form of your own expression (?!) and should be written in whatever manner your heart desire as long as you're aware that you're accountable for what you publish on the Internet (phrasing - 'blogging should come from within and you should feel no inclination but your own to blog in a way that you deem fit. Of course, do bear in mind that you will be held accountable and liable for everything that you post on the WWW.). You can read blogs by other bloggers to find out how they do it (reading the blogs of popular bloggers could serve as inspiration.). A good source would be to check under Innit.nuffnang.com where we have many other bloggers gathered to share content with each other (where we have bloggers from all walks of life come together to share content amongst one another)

I hope my personal view helps (YOUR view IS personal, again. Using both doesn't make you sound smarter). Have a nice (pleasant?) day ahead.

I hope I don't come across the wrong way. I just saw too many mistakes that I couldn't help but to correct. Most would understand what you're trying to say, but your grammar, your phrasing and your expression, at times, do not flow! At all!

Read more. It'll improve your language proficiency. Maybe reading more 'amusing queries' might do the trick! Haha :)

Robb said...

thanks anonymous for the correction. i always appreciate constructive comments like urs.

will take note of em. :)

Robb said...

oh mr/ms anonymous, can you share with me your site? i can assure you reading 'amusing queries' does not improve my grammar/phrasing at all. i wish can share the exact languages ppl send in, but i rather not as it's within my responsibility to protect the privacy of the system.

all these queries shared in this post are actually written by myself, but they share the same gists of what some bloggers wrote in.

Melanie said...

Lol. This is funny! I am not a blogger with many visitors but it never cross my mind to ask Nuffnang's helpdesk why my visitors drop and all. Hahahaha

I didn't have nuffnang in my blog at all...lol
