As my little 'Blog Empire' gets bigger, it becomes more and more difficult to make hand written posts, even to my usual hand written blogs. These blogs are still important to me. They are my 'babies' and they have regular readers, so I will never abandon them. However, this situation has made me have a rethink on the benefits of 'splogs'.
As I've said before, I have a number of splogs and they are increasing daily. Splogs serve the purpose of being able to get my sponsors' latest galleries online, without endless hours of writing handwritten posts. After all, if I spent time doing that, the new content would be very old before I got it all 'out there'.So let's have a think about 'splogs'.
Against Splogs:
a) Splogs are not 'true blogs', but advertising outlets for porn sponsors.
b) Splogs are not giving the blog reader what he/she wants. He/she was obviously looking for blogs, or else would have gone somewhere else. The reader wants to read a blog.
For Splogs:
a) Why is the surfer on your blog? He/she knows it is a porn blog, therefore the answer has to be that he/she is looking for porn.
b) What do you want your blog reader to do?:
i) Stay on your blog and read it from 'cover to cover', or
ii) Read a little from your blog and decide that what he/she is reading is enticing enough for them to visit your sponsor?
Therefore, speaking as an adult webmaster:
If we :
a) Assume the reader of our blog has arrived there looking for porn and is amenable to signing up with a sponsor, if the content is appealing enough.
b) Admit that we are in this game for the money and we want our readers to sign up with our sponsors.
Isn't a well-produced and frequently updated Splog just as efficient (and probably more so) in doing our job as a hand written porn blog?
As they say on the boards - just my two cents...
