Choose a interesting topic of controversy. Yes, controversy bringing you publicity.

I like the conclusion. Works for me. When I do want controversy I talk about American Politics,any war,and women in general. By the way all three have one thing common to a car. Sooner or later it's going to give you trouble

Hi Barry, thanks for commenting.

I am glad you agree with my definition and I completely agree that people should be prepared for the backfire. Although some people do write it just for publicity, some people write great posts without the intent of controversy or attention which is completely fine in my opinion… I just cannot tand it when people write controversial posts just for the publicity!

Hi Shane -- I really like your definition:

'Controversy is a matter of opinion which is voiced publically, often with the purpose of gaining attention'

SPOT ON in my opinion.

Controversy has been used since beginning of time to get Publicity - it often works when other things don't - but of course you have to be prepared for when it occasionally backfires

That is one way of looking at it. But scamming also “creates cash”, does not mean that you should do it though. As I have already said, I believe that controversy is fine if it is written for the reader, not for the attention of social media et cetera.

I completely agree. I have nothing against controversy… as long as it is written for a purpose and not just for the media attention.

I've heard someone famous once say, "controversy creates cash", just thought i'd share that quote.... even though I can't personally say that I've really written on anything controversial or anything that comes to mind.

I mean i wrote a post a few days back about too many opinions on the internet because i thought a lot of people and bloggers were abusing their priviledge of criticizing everything, so i believe if a post is written to address that behaviour and it takes catchs fire, so what if it is controversial, sometimes the truth has to be said although i believe in the truth, the message needs to be presented in a respectable manner.
