Seems like nowadays most people think if they’re blogging they just have to post something about splogs. However, this one made me wonder. Have CNet’s authors run out of topics to post a month-old story from Google Blogoscoped? The story features an interview with a person who doesn’t consider himself a splogger, but CNet begs to differ. Of course all the moralizing is in place, including the call to report the guy to Splog Reporter, but don’t we all already know what all these lame spam fighters are worth… I’d just suggest to take counter measures and report the reporters 😉 At least the original interviewer at GB was nice to that guy…
What’s really nuts about the original interview though is that the guy is actually listing all his blogs there, thus making himself vulnerable to all those do-gooders’ attacks… I’d understand if they were live links from GB’s PR5 page – but alas, they are not. Not a black hat practice for sure, but then like he says, he’s new to the internet.
Well, a newbie he may be, but he seems to already have sound understanding of some things. Here’s my favourite quote from the interview:
So I benefit because I have relevant content on my blog that people may be looking for. People may come to my site and might click on an ad then I make some money. Also, they may read part of the article, desire to finish reading the article, then go to the source and they might click on one or two of their ads so the publisher makes money.
And another one, from the comments following the post:
Am I adding value to the internet? That was never really my goal.
Go “unflag”/”unreport” him or something? 😉
