Lately it seems that the new darling of adult webmasters is blogging. They aren't doing it because they like to write and want to share information, they're doing it because they think it's a way to make money. I've even seen posts lately discussing how blogging is the next TGP.

Blogs are an excellent way to get search engine traffic, because as we all know, search engines love text and what is a blog after all? Lots of text. And, therein lies the problem and the subject of this blog entry.

There are a lot of good blogs on the Internet. Some are informative and others are entertaining in one way or another. But, will a saturation of blogs really be of any benefit to anyone when everyone is doing it and most of them are incompetent at it? A good blog serves a purpose and in most cases, the goal is to get more and more people that like to read your blog and return often to do so. But, if the blog isn't updated frequently and isn't enjoyable to read, the benefit would only come from a one time visit and not repeat traffic.

Is that the goal of most webmasters that are starting blogs? To simply spam the search engines with their pages that are used to promote something? My observation is that most webmasters can't write. All you need to do is to read the posts on adult webmaster boards to see that. They can't spell, they don't have a clue what the word 'punctuation' means and in many cases, they can't string several word together into a logical thought. So what the hell business do they have writing a blog? None. They have no more business writing a blog than some guy that buys a $100 digital camera at Walmart has being a photographer. They will both be producing garbage. Unfortunately, it's the garbage that will ultimately make the medium less valuable to the webmasters that are actually competent to use it.

Way back in 'the day' it was possible to build a TGP gallery with some teaser content on it and sell memberships to paysites. Nowadays it's become extremely difficult to do that. Why? Because so many webmasters don't know how to build a gallery that converts so they think the thing to do is to put a bunch of hardcore pictures on the gallery. As most of us know, all that does is give surfers something to jerk off to instead of enticing them to join our paysites. The Internet is glutted with free porn, and now we're stuck finding more creative ways to make money in spite of it.

The same thing will happen with blogs. Soon, every webmaster will have a blog and 99% of them will be complete garbage. They won't be interesting or well written and in most cases, they won't be updated often enough if at all. Eventually there will be hundreds of thousands or maybe millions of crappy blogs flooding the net and clogging the search engines and the webmasters that know how to use a blog will get less and less benefit from them.
