It’s a depressing fact that the majority of blogs are scams. Some are automated spam blogs. Others are hand written, affiliate scheme pimping, newbie traps. They clog up the internet with a combination of automated junk and carefully crafted deception.

The only thing that binds every blog is it’s need for attention in the form of readers. If the scam blogs didn’t have any readers they wouldn’t make any money. With no money they would soon pack up and leave the blogosphere, making it a much nicer place to be. Scurrying back, no doubt, to more traditional scams.

Only the browsing public can give the blogosphere the enema it desperately needs.

Take a look at the blogs you subscribe to or bookmark. Cut your subscriptions in half and only stay subscribed to the blogs with quality content. If a blog has too many adverts, browser hijacking tricks or those ridiculous peeling effects that are cropping up all over the place then cull it immediately.

Any blog advertising things like The Reverse Funnel System, The Rich Jerk, or any of the other famous internet scams should be at the top of your cull list. You can judge a man by the company he keeps and you can judge a blog by the choice of adverts. If the blog advertises a scam then why should you believe anything that it’s owner types?

Any pop ups. Cull it. Any floating sign up windows drifting across the page. Cull it. Any adverts with photographs of people waving handfuls of cash. Cull it.

Be ruthless. Be determined. Check your subscriptions on a regular basis and keep pruning and cutting back when anything dodgy appears.

The only way to clean up the blogosphere is to be scrupulous with your browsing time.

And time is the most valuable asset anyone has. Don’t waste it on anything that isn’t worth your attention.
