If your whole blog is focused on a product that you have no personal investment in, other than as a blogging topic, you are now an expert in that subject and will get contacted and linked to as an expert. Welcome to the world of being an expert.

On your contact page, about page, and so on, as described in the article, make sure you put a “disclaimer” that clarifies that you do not work for, nor represent or are affiliated with Google. Add that these are your views and opinions on the subject, then specify when and for what they are to contact you for.

If you are willing to expand your blog into a consultancy on the Google subject, that’s potential income and a reason people should contact you. But if you don’t want contact, make it VERY CLEAR.

The truly blithering idiots will still call you at 4 in the morning, but the volume of attempts will drop. Just make sure it’s clear EVERYWHERE on your blog.

Or find something else to blog about.

I wish I was kidding on that last statement.

On one of my blogs, I focus on a subject…or rather a site owned by Google.

Although the blog’s whole purpose is around the Google product, some people keep confusing me as a Google engineer despite the fact that I’ve written several times that I do not work for Google and even have a disclaimer on my blog.

It’s gotten to the point where people have digged up my number to call about certain issues (in foreign countries nonetheless!)

In that scenario, how do I end the confusion?

That’s why I like linking to others’ post in mine when I haven’t covered on something in great details. It’s kind of sending them elsewhere to find more information if they have not found the one they are looking for on mine.

I also think that one should put a small about me description in the sidebar just to let people know about the blog’s purpose, whether it’s just about mindless musing, ramblings, jokes,etc so that people don’t take things too seriously and consider one a plumber lol(that was funny too)
