Please link to this post on Making Light. And this post on At Last! Writer Beware Blogs...
Please post this link for the list of the 20 Worst Agents, too. Make special note of the third name on the (alphabetical) list: Barbara Bauer
You may note that under the words 20 Worst Agents above, I don't have a link to the list but to Barbara Bauer's web site. Isn't that nice of me to give her some publicity. As a scammer. And someone who is *so* busy representing "new talent" that she has the time to harass people who are only telling the truth about Barbara Bauer.
Then, anytime you use the name Barbara Bauer, and friends, and let's use that name a little bit, ok-- Please link to one of those posts or here to my blog, or to another AW blogger who's writing about her or to any of the other links used here as well. Let's also give it some Technorati buzz - I've created a tag (see below).
I'd like to see some of these sites Google very very high against her name - wouldn't you??

Fabulous tag, Dawno! I hope everyone helps spread the word.
:-)
It's already showing my post, too.
Another blogger is posting about this: http://chatworthy.blogspot.com/
go give him your support!
Oh man.
I'll get right on this
Would this be the Midweek Meme?
Okay, I put my response up.

If you do a technorati search on Barbara Bauer, you'll see the word is starting to spread.
we have a new one!

It looks like Barbs is about to learn the meaning of "win the battle and lose the war."
Currently, Blogsearch has picked up 23 posts in the past 12 hours on Barbara Bauer. Bookseller Chick also picked it up, but didn't mention her by name:

it isn't much, but here's mine.

thank you all - again - come back for more ideas later!
Be sure to go comment and say thanks on all blogs this appears - give them linkage so it gets good Google fu!
Use the tag!!
Mines up, and I'm updating links as I find 'em.
I've added the information to my blog, this is a travesty.
The number of blogs that specifically name Barbara Bauer has climbed to 45 in the past six and a half hours, and shows no signs of slowing down.
whoo hoo! and the Technorati Tag page is filling up - my post will be on pg two soon!
I've updated my blog, as well. Still learning the Technorati thing, but I'll get there. ;)
I'm #146!
Good stuff Dawno. :)
yay Frank and Kelly!
Thanks!
Cheers to everyone's efforts! The forums shall rise again, and may Barbara Bauer lose tenfold business for her rudeness and idiocy...

Hello--I was just at that tags page and suddenly the "Barbara Bauer tag is "no longer available."
Just so you know she's still busy. The b&&&&.
Hey, Anon - I just went there and it's still up that I can see...did you click directly from my tag?
I've posted my blog entry about her as well at http://www.lmashton.com/2006/05/455 - I'm quidscribis over at AW, by the way.
Thanks for getting the info out!
ticks me off enough to want to blog. well, almost. un-freakin' believable!
where do these dweebs come from?
I'm joining the cause. The grassroots word on this will be so much worse for BB that if she would have just dealt with her issues privately and professionally. Guess actions do speak louder than words.
Thank you Damien, Laurie and Wendy!
Hiya Jean! Start blogging, we'll help!
Keep this spreading, folks - she can't hold up under the onslaught!!
I made it simple on my reviews site...
I don't get much traffic, but hey..
when will the writere beware site be up again?
Hi Dawno and thanks for the heads up, I'm having the link put on my website as well.
I get the feeling BB will live to regret the day she pooped this loud!
PS, Kiskadee above, is me, Aruna!
Just an update on the progress of this story through the blogosphere - there are now over a hundred blogs mentioning Barbara Bauer. It's jumped into non-writing forums; I've posted one on a car forum, somebody I don't know linked to my blog from a scrapbooking forum. And it has been translated into German and Spanish, the latter courtesy of DamaNegra and a bit more thorough. Barbara is sitting on a ticking Googlebomb here.
I only just discovered this as I was at a conference. I am blogging and will be encouraging the same over that my forum.

This has even started to attract Neilsen BlogPulse's attention for the shear volume of posts about Barb. Here's the link:

Man, have I been in the dark. Thanks for shedding light on this most unpleasant situation!
My post will be up in a few minutes!
:)
Hey Dawno, you finally got me to start a blog, and here it is:

Aruna
I've been adding a few links here and there. And I'm looking forward to seeing AW up and running again very soon. Go, Jenna!
See you back there soon, all.
(This is me, Jane, aka Old Hack, by the way. Writer and Roomba-lover. Who can't see any other way to post her name on this comment because she is not very good at complicated technical things, or at reversing her car)
So, does this mean I should remove Barbara's name from my top tier of potential agents?
Barbarus delenda est (Good one, Matt)
Robeiae :)
Hi Aruna, who now has a blog! Jane - when do you get your blog?? and Rob, great to see you, too!
You inspired me to get back on my blog. Or rather, the Baur did. Good job. Here's my rant...
