Will Spam-Blogging Be The Death Of Blogging?

Technorati reports 30,000 - 40,000 new blogs are being created each day.

According David Sifry, part growth new blogs created each day due an increase spam blogs.

What are spam blogs? They are fake blogs are created by robots order foster link farms, attempted search engine optimization, or drive traffic through advertising or affiliate sites.

They contain robot-generated posts made up random words, with title linking back blogger's own pages.

Many bloggers see them a way getting their pages indexed quickly by Google other search engines.

Sifry estimates about 20% aggregate pings Technorati receives are from spam blogs. Most this fake blog spam comes from hosted services or from specific IP addresses.

Those SEO world are well aware this. There are even services like Blogburner encourage creation spammy blogs spam-pinging get your sites indexed quickly.

As a blogging evangelist, I wholeheartedly recommend blogging an SEO tactic. But I also emphasize you should use your blog more than just SEO.

At Spam Squashing Summit, blog services decided collaborate report combat blog-spamming.

Technorati currently claims catch about 90% spam remove from index. They also notify blog hosting operators.

But I believe they are fighting a losing battle. As I write this there are software robots being created will create spam-blogs more efficiently ways will be harder detect.

The SEO "black hats" are always far ahead technology safeguards these services can put place.

Take down a few spam-blogs hundreds more will arise.

Blogging evangelist PR guru, Steve Rubel, sums up this dilemma rather well his Micropersuasion blog. http://www.micropersuasion.com

He believes its human nature people exploit new technologies, that it's really up search engines help put a stop these by undercutting economics blogspam, much like they did with nofollow comment spam.

But trade-off that such a move would also reduce any impact that blogs have search results.

Fact: The more you abuse a technology, less effective becomes.

Spam blogging will force search engines like Google change their ranking algorithms eventually assign less value links from blogs.

Unless they put safeguards prevent robots from taking over, its safe assume that blogging will become less effective an SEO tactic over time.

Of course, spammers will then just have find new avenues means spam engines.

But why ruin a good thing first place? Blogs are much more than just tools search engine optimization.

A blog can be a great tool personal branding building relationships with your website visitors customers.

Instead using blogs spam, focus building content-rich sites getting high-value links them.

Don't restrict yourself just SEO benefits blogging.

Appreciate value that blogs can add your marketing public relations strategy use them way they were meant be used.
