It seems a strange thing the blogging sphere, always growing but always declining. A bit contradictory you think? Not so. A world of possibilities opened with the introduction and expansion of blogging platforms such as WordPress. Yes, more and more people open blogs to share their knowledge, but for every knowledge giver there’s a few hundred profit seekers.
Open up a free blog with generic content, use free services to drive traffic and voila, you can have yourself a money making, knowledge killing machine in a few days. It’s all over the web. “How to make money blogging, but do nothing.”
It’s as if knowledge or useful information is being deluded one cent at a time. It’s not that I’m complaining, I’m sure I’ve contributed my own bit to deluding useful information in my futile attempts to generate some profit, but fortunately, I’ve learned.
My blog went offline for about a week. When I got it up again, my hits, naturally, dropped to about zero. But in a few days the hits increased to a natural number. This natural number was due to people I know and converse with on the internet. My pagerank climbed up one spot and I was happier than ever.
All I could wish for is some kind of way to verify a real blog, some service that can provide you with a big old yellow ribbon stamp saying : “This is a real blog, managed by a real person, providing real interesting and useful information.”
Now wouldn’t that be nice?
