Dangers of Blogging - Part I
Friday, November 2nd, 2007Blogging and earning money is a very popular trend these days. Everybody is blogging - teachers and drivers, fashion models and marketing gurus, politicians and "bad girls next door". One of the dangers of blogging is that most of the bloggers heavily rely on a pack of ping services and hope to get big reward from them.
"The More - The Better" does not work any longer with ping services.
In some of the articles discussed inside this community you will see that ping services have a big problem - your blogs. Yes, your blogs!
You already know from other articles here that some simple, harmless things that all bloggers are doing every day are nothing but a ping spam (this is clicking "Save and Continue Editing" or "Saving" the published post, etc.). The things that we are doing very often when blogging for cash and dollars.
Now imagine what happens with the ping service businesses. They invested money into purchasing the ping reading technology, they purchased servers, they started promotion. Usually very quickly this ping service becomes popular: as all blogs need more ping services, an extra one is always welcomed.
So, within quite a short amount of time, an avalanche of blogs is plugged to the ping service. And instead of pinging the blogs when new content is added, they are pinging any time you click "Save and Continue Editing" or any time you edit the previously published post. When I am working with a post I am clicking (used to click) "Save and Continue Editing" button 5-10 times, so that I don’t lose the typed info before it is published. Generally we can say that only 20% and even less pings are useless for the ping service, they are not bringing any new content, just very tiny amendments.
Wow, Up to 80% of Ping Service Job Done for "Waste" Info!
This makes the picture very clear. Ping services have been expecting to handle a nice amount of blogs with their server capacities. But in reality they need to process 4-5 times more. The useless info that makes no advantage to them. This resulted in some businesses on this market getting closed. And who knows, maybe some of the ping service businesses are on the verge to get closed shortly.
