Blog Spam Is Coming – Are You Going To Be Accused
Duration: 8 Minutes
Description: I’ve been blogging on and off for almost 4 years now and a year since I wrote the book Blogging Secrets . Until now I haven’t had reason to be concerned, until this month when I noticed something.
The same text entry in two different blogs.
Why is that a concern you may ask??? Becuase with all the hype around blogging and big claims being made about how it’s going to change the way we sell our goods and services online it looks like some poorly informed marketers are making the cardinal sin.
Blogging the right way can increase your traffic. Blogging the right way can get you listed in Yahoo and Google faster and….
If you don’t know how to blog, or worse yet don’t understand the purpose of blogging to sell, blogging can be a big waste of time.
The identical text that I saw in two different marketers blogs were affiliate ads that were simply pasted into the blog. Word for word the text was identical. These affilates had taken the copy provided to them by the product owner and added them as blog entries – as if they had written the text themselves.
Blogging is not email marketing for affiliates. This is Blog Spam! I expect we’ll see a ton Blog Spam coming our way from lazy marketers who just don’t get it!
The nice part is that a single click of the mouse removes all this Blog Spam from our news readers. Bloggers who create crappy content pay the unltimate price no traffic and no readers subscribed to their news feeds.
