Blogs and Adverts

It is not a busy day today like usual so I thought of reading other people’s blogs. It’s really amazing how blog-advertising changed the face of the blogosphere and I honestly don’t know how to take it. Is it good or bad… I’m not sure but it’s a little bit disappointing in my point of view. I am not a hypocrite. I am also a member of some blog-advertising sites and I do sponsored posts in my various blogs. Sure, it’s a great way to earn extra money and I believe that it’s a great opportunity for bloggers to be able to get paid to blog.
But what is disappointing in the blogging world nowadays is that a lot of bloggers out there post about sponsored stuff as much as they can to the point that their blogs look like this whole Advert page of a newspaper. It’s not pretty. An example of this is a blog I stumbled upon just now. It’s claims to be a diary—the blogger’s life story. I thought, that’s interesting because the author is about my age so I looked further only to read something like :
Hey there are you looking for someone to help you out with your ****? Let me introduce you with ********. For your information, ******* is a ******* . (and so on).
Post after post, everything is a complete advertising campaign. I mean what the hell? Looks like blogs nowadays are written solely for blog advertising. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
