Despite the complaints I don't think bloggers are looking for a community blog at all...


Despite all the criticism of sploggers ruining community blogs, I don't think bloggers are really looking for an alternative site at all. Thats their perogative; they can please themselves, I can't tell them what they should do. Bur I will express my opinion. And strongly too - because thats me!



While we struggle at Blogevolve because of an inattentive Admin, other sites are being ruined by over-reactive admins who have put in place security programs that not only fight the splog, spam and pornography, but make it difficult at times for the genuine blogger.



I've given up at Blogger Party - no more party for me. At times I couldn't get new material posted, while Xomba claimed I had broken the terms of their TOS - but like when Adsense disabled my account they make some broad statement but refuse to tell you just how they maintain you have broken their RULES. Well both sites, along with Communati can go to hell in a handcart!



The fact of the matter is I overextended myself in believing the Adsense propaganda that it is easy to make money through Adsense advertising. It isn't easy - its not impossible but the claims are exaggerated. So I don't really mind shedding some of these second rate community sites anyway.



The pro bloggers are right, you have to spend money to make money. Yes, Sire I still believe in your advice, if you ever read this.



But I'll keep posting at Blogevolve, despite all the splogging, spamming, and occasional porn links there. I still have a few friends there, despite many bloggers taking their toys off elsewhere.
