Is there money in blogs?

Splogging is more ethically acceptable to me than a spam script. I have the rights to the content I'm using and making, I'm just using wordpress and and a few plugins to create long tail content without scraping and without creating near duplicate pages on the blog domain (unlike a spam script).

Since a splog has about the same chance of getting a link from fleshbot as I have of screwing a celebrity, it doesn't make any sense to talk about splogs trying to get links like that.

You've already said google can't tell the difference between no trustrank minor pages and notrustrank spam - splogs take advantage of that in the longtail.

I haven't been splogging for long but I'm fully in the black, and earnings can be expected to increase. I've gotten surfer comments on splogs, much to my surprise. I make the most signups on my anchor blogs, but the splogs are sending a nice stream of hits to the sponsors, and while it;s sometimes hard to tell where FHG sales came from, there are at least a couple I'm sure are from the splogs, and more that I think could well be.

But I'm totally with you on one thing, people shouldn't splog.
