I've been hinting at this for some time. It's not a I told you thing. And maybe I'm way of base.

There is a ton of crap out there, no question, the problem is, in my opinion, is all the directories and traffic sources supporting this crap. I posted on my blog a while back that "free hosted" has made a turn around and came back to bite. It's funny how just every LL or directory will not accept or list free hosted free sites, but they are happy to list and trade with free hosted blogs.

Would all the free hosted crap be where it is in the ranks, if it wasn't supported? Nope.

I've also been on my soapbox too many times talking about unique content, probably too many times for most people. From what I've seen over the years, the higher traffic sites/blogs are the ones that post a ton of unique/interesting content. No big secret.

Course on the other hand I know what it's like to try and create unique content for many blogs on a on-going basis, it can wear you down quick. So I don't blame any one for wanting to automate. Not one bit. A big part of the reason I sold pretty much all my adult properties, it's a ton of work. More than I wanted to keep doing.

Many people also talk or argue about duplicate content. While there may not be a penalty, I think we have to agree, the Search engines are not going to list the same content too many times. Right? They would not be providing good results if every result was the same. So many people are going to lose out.

In my opinion, if some one wanted to try a experiment that has a good chance of being successful, it would be to concentrate on one blog. Posting interesting and totally unique content and a lot of it. I think every one would agree that automation with RSS feeds, for example, was taking a chance, it should be no surprise if it stopped working. Like I said, I don't blame any one for wanting to automate, I've been slinging porn for almost 10 years, so I know exactly what it's like to get tired of working so much. Been there done that.

Still, I believe, one blog done well could do much better than a number of automated ones. Plus it's providing unique content, which we know is what the se's want, so there really is no risk of a "tactic" not working any more. Least in my opinion.

Then again, what do I know, I all but quit..
