Seriously, who is counting anymore? We have well over 100,000 new blogs started every day that die off within a month or two. Shocking? Not really. Annoying? Very.

While these new blogs are created, and while 90% of them fail to achieve over 50 visitors daily, it clouds the internet with a thick smoke of utter annoyance.

I just saw someone try to sell off a PR0 blog that had *500* visitors monthly for about $200. They took account that they managed to ‘find’ a leeched version of the generic JohnCow.com theme, which they counted towards its ‘unique’ price. It is just getting silly to see.

In the Beginning:

There was a man with a plan, yadda-yadda-yadda. Guess what, Its over. It is 2008 now and I personally go through about 200 useless blogs daily (I am NOT talking about Entrecard in this case, by the way. Entrecard is Awesome <3). Also, I am not saying that the bloggers who write something important or regularly are useless.

I am talking about someone who posts once every 3 weeks and expects to make their weight in gold, then complains about it, or the blogs that steal other people’s posts and call it their own. (Among a few other examples)

“Blogging is NOT difficult” …… but its not easy:

I often see blogs say that blogging is an easy way to make quick cash. It “could” be if you get the right people looking at it, though generally that is not the case. I see blogs advertising how much they make in the hopes that they follow a step-by-step guide and sign up for the right things to try and make a few bucks. Guess what? Newsflash: A good chunk those bloggers just give you those links, in most cases, to sign up under them.

The Internet is full of them:

Frankly, blogs can be a great way to share ideas and earn money, but not when sites like Technorati are flooded with over 110 million blogs and counting. What is even more depressing is that a good percentage of those ‘blogs’ can be easily dubbed as splogs (spam blogs) or scrapers. There are so many blogs out there that are inactive and/or spam that it can get pretty tedious to even think about.

The Previous Stumbleupon Attacker:

You know what, I take back what I said, he did have a right to attack people who do stumbleupon exchanges and he should be congratulated for it. I already see less spam sites on DigitalPoint and I thank him. What he should focus on is filtering good sites vs bad sites, as some of the exchanges done on DigitalPoint are not spam.

I personally do not think this blog is spam and should be considered as such JUST for doing an exchange on a forum, either. If you are going to be the royal foot of justice, do it right.

Part Two is right here.
