Blog Hunting

My husband noticed blogging and what could be done with it some time ago, probably a couple of years ago now. He started to blog then. But it took a while before he took note of the paid blogging companies that were really getting going then. He joined in with them. It was great. I had no idea that there could be a way to blog and make money as well. When he got paid the first time, I started to see what blogging could really do. And I could say what I wanted to say and it was amazing! Blogging would be fun without the pay but it is so much better with it.

But there is a danger. I have been signed up on some social network sites, one of which means you have to go to the site and actually do something there. On occasions I found some really great blogs. They are informative, interesting, nice for the eyes. People put thought into the posts there and the themes. Those blogs are great. They have appeal and usually have RSS feed subscribers and a following.

On the other hand, I have seen some blogs that are so loaded up with advertising that I nearly could not see the reason for the blog. Or possibly I can. It seems that some blogs are made for the sole purpose of putting up ads, advertising for someone else. I realize that everyone needs to make extra money. I do not want to step on those dreams and hopes. However, some of these blogs are so full of the advertising that there is little room for the posts themselves. In fact, I found one blog that I could not find the posts. They had some type of little list of posts that took you to another page of the blog. The posts were NOT on the front page of the blog. Not one.

When I visit a blog, the first thing I look for is the first post. If I like that, I will look for more. If I am actually doing the card dropping from that social networking place, I will look for that first but the post is the next thing to see. If all I see are ads and things to sell me, I don’t even want to drop a card there. It is of no use to me. I consider that type of blog to be an over monetized blog. When the sole purpose are the ads, it’s all over but the shouting.

On the other hand, if a person is posting something with a text link or a couple of links, a picture or something like that, this is great. You can find out something about the blogger, something about a product and something that is probably written pretty well if they are doing this for a company. That type of blogging is just fine with me. I will review such blogs here. And over monetized blog will likely not be reviewed here. I simply don’t like them.
