Bloggers: Blogging For Need vs. For Greed
Good morning to you. I was surfing the net this morning when I came across this interesting post that I wish to share with you. Bloggers: Blogging For Need vs. For Greed. I was thinking of writing on some of the cruel behavior's of some bloggers in the now. Well, thanks to +HONGKIAT for this wonderful one.
The truth is that, It’s common knowledge that you can make money blogging, however not allowing greed to overshadow your main purpose, Helps. Greed can ultimately lead to your site’s downfall if you are not careful.
You’ll need to consider the skills you have that will help you be an asset to the online world of blogging. You don’t have to be a deep thinker, an amazing writer or a fountain of endless ideas.
The building blocks of any successful blog is to have useful and interesting content, and the ability to provide information and content that other people need and are looking for.
Competition was scarce and readers were hungry for materials, so it was easy to gather a fanbase fairly early in the game. Once blogging platforms became more accessible to the general public, just about anyone can get a blog up and running in minutes.
In time, every square inch of the Internet real estate was covered with ads and banners.
For a quick Buck
If you’re starting a blog for the sole purpose of making money, then you should take a step back and re-evaluate your priorities because blogs don’t automatically generate you a nice income. It requires a lot of hard work, time and effort. Compared one-for-one with a 9-to-5 job, managing a blog would give you slower and lower returns.

In the Early beginnings
For whatever reasons you have for starting a blog, the motivation varies from person to person.

The Rush Begins
All of a sudden everybody was writing and reading blogs, and online dairies start popping up. As the number of blogs keep rising, advertising agencies started coming in, asking for ad space in well-read blogs. More bloggers starting writing and more requests for ad space came rolling in.In time, every square inch of the Internet real estate was covered with ads and banners.
Impacts of blogging for ads
Blogging suddenly became a great source of income and everyone wanted in. This lead many things happening, include:Cheating
This capitalistic view of the Internet led many people to do whatever it is they had to do in order to play the system and earn more money from ad revenue. This gave rise to the Black Hat SEO as many shady individuals started creating lots of blogs and placing identical content across blogs in order to attempt to attract more traffic and get more ad space.Fake Meta-Tags
Lots of meta-tags became filled with popular search terms regardless of whether they were related to the blog’s content or not. Content became virtually unreadable and forced, as many people take to stuffing keywords into their blog posts, forgoing grammar, spelling, accurate and useful information.Rise of Content Mills
To work a content mill is the practice of paying writers low fees to generate tons of content to push a blog site to the top of the search engine results. These articles are usually not high-quality and contains a lot of keywords to help push the rankings higher up. It would have worked if Google wasn’t paying attention.For a quick Buck
