Blogging is no more great!

It’s hard to say that! But I have my reasons, you can also have your reasons to think that blogging is great and enjoyable. But for me it loss its real meaning.

It’s all because of ‘advertising‘, this thing that entered the world of blogging and as money turn around, blogging became another Internet industry, where advertising and marketing is the most important thing (or the base).

Bloggers works for money and not to provide their own view of a thing. Yet, quality doesn’t exist (although there’s a very high quality blogs and writing, but they are rare).
The problem isn’t here, let suppose that you’ll start a blog, talking about interesting things, scientific things… Who will read your blog?

It’s a pity, after having 3 or 4 hours writing and gathering ressources or other things on your article, you don’t have even one comment! However, other blogs are getting hundered for posting non-quality articles with errors.

Although many people still write good content and make hard work but…

Months ago I was a loyal reader of Jackbook, a blog about Blogging, templates, hints and other things. Jack (who is the writer) isn’t an expert on that domain, but what he learns, he shares in his blog and that the thing that I liked from him.
Yet, Jack announced that he was earning $500 every month from his blog, which is a good amount of money.

Right now all is great, but when money is in.. quality turns from better to worse (Jack became a bad writer, uses bad language, indifferent of what he posts) from worse to terrible (Yet, Jack discovered a trick on how to explose his blog traffic by posting sexy related content to the olympics games!!!)

And here’s a blog with more than 2,000 reader turned to….. and I unsubscribed from his blog!
I discovered also (from project wonderful who allow to see statics of sites publishers will advertise on) that his traffic jumped from 3000 to 70,000 daily.  I should say ‘that great! He would make 20 more money than he would’. But he did spam his blog and this is the bad point.

It’s not blogging who drive us to write, it’s money. So if you are a real blogger, try Wordpress.com! Yet, on Wordpress.com you can’t advertise. Wordpress isn’t expanding, but the quality is good (not perfect, but good  )

Ya it’s addictive

Totally addictive, this is why people can’t stop it. The money makes it more and more addictive! So be careful!
Yet, I’m not against blogging (If so, then why I blog myself) but I’m about the spam and the repeated content. The web is flooded with repeated content. If something bring traffic and eyeballs, yet every person writes about it by reformulating the words or translating them to its own language.

A solution?

It’s a easy to find a solution, it’s to start from yourself. If you think about reader, social websites can bring the nessec readers to your articles. Here I’m writing a blog about that, I’m trying to review social websites and how to work with each one to get traffic to your blog or site and build your popularity around the web.
The aim is that everyone has its unique content, articles and words. Then social websites have to share their traffic, between the different blogs,  I think this will be great to be real

Yet it’s hard to do, as millions of young spammers (and I was one) are running around, ooff!!!
