Making money on the web with Ed Dale’s 30 Day challenge is not as easy as it seems. You see making money on the web takes dedication. There are people that earn a living from the web using google ads and more but it seems to me that they are in the minority. I wonder whether the ROI on the time is worth it in most cases.I am going to break it down the the basics for you.
First I am going to tell you what a splogger is and how to identify sploggers. Sploggers are content thieves. They use your and my RSS feed to create a website. In fact there is software available to the splogging community that searches the web for articles that mention their keywords. They then copy and paste your content to their websites. Some of them will even link back to your website with some inane link like “This great article originally posted by”and your blog name.
You see a pingback and assume it’s a compliment to your writing skills and you publish it. They do this a thousand times a day, hoping that you will publish the pingback. You do so and using your content and your vote these sites get better Google rankings. Factually the site with the most links is more likely to be higher on Google than the one with less.
So Sploggers use your content and your back link to become more important on the Internet than you are for your own content. It’s fairly simple to identify splogs. When you click back to the site and go to the front page you will see nothing original. The site is likely to have a dozen short articles linking back to other peoples articles.
Or even worse you will see sites that have advertising on them with no content. Delete these pingbacks and never publish them.
