This precisely why I recommend that all my clients have a Self- Hosted Blog as the center to their Social Media Marketing Plan. On your own Blog you cretae the content and pay for the server to host it. You get to decide who is allowed to comment. If there is a problem with the server you can decide to take your business elswhere. All the social networks are wonderful for driving traffic back to your blog but they can never be effective without that all important hub!
