Forbes asks its readers for the best marketing ideas they’ve ever had. Thus far the request has resulted in just 2 comments. Maybe the beginning of the work week tomorrow will inspire a few more.

Chris Abraham has a terrific post addressing this question over on Business 2 Community. Go read it.

As to the central question Chris poses: Blogger outreach is, hands down, earned media. Oh, and by the way: If you’re going to be doing outreach, do it right. Anti-Social Media has some good advice.

Thinking about advertising on Facebook? You might want to think again: According to one advertiser, 80 percent of the ad clicks are coming from bots. WordStream reports.

Takeaway for marketers: This is another reason why clicks really don’t matter. It’s all about performance. Getting a million clicks with zero sales is pretty worthless, isn’t it?
