What is a splog? Well I am going to take the definition straight from the Wikipedia here

This article is about blogs designed to host spam. For spamming made through comments in legitimate blogs, see Spam in blogs.

“Spam blogs, sometimes referred to by the neologism splogs^[1], are artificially created weblog sites which the author uses to promote affiliated websites or to increase the search engine rankings of associated sites. The purpose of a splog can be to increase the PageRank or backlink portfolio of affiliate websites, to artificially inflate paid ad impressions from visitors, and/or use the blog as a link outlet to get new sites indexed.”

In my opinion every blogger splogs (some are just better at disguising it than others). Who doesn’t want to skew search engine results to get visitors? Who doen’t want readers to join affiliate programs, and click on advertisements?

There are times when a blatant splog of sorts comes in handy. I accidentally started  Blatant splogging one day, when I wanted certain information at my at my fingertips for my personal review. I wrote the program details down and included a banner, and a referral url. The thought was, I could have the program information down in one spot so I could easily copy/paste the info to blogs and articles with ease. Well the next day I logged into these programs and low and behold 22 referrals overnight. Google put me on the top of thier search engine even higher than programs website it self. So naturally I studied that post and reproduced over and over again for other programs.

I have to tell you splogging is not enjoyable at all. There is no thought process involved, what so ever it, just manual labor, and I admit I hate it. The good things are that I accomplished my original intent and have a way of viewing all my programs at once. I am able to add and subtract programs easily. Intead of writing about the programs individualy I try to use creativity and discuss the program group as a whole. It also keeps down the maintance of going to various different places I have wrote articles, and checking referral urls as program scripts change.

Another time splogs come in handy is when you are advertising on PTC sites or traffic exchanges. When you only have 30 seconds to hold someones attention, you can throw everything but the kitchen sink at them at once, lol.

Here is Screenshot of something funny I came across when I googled the search term splog. A splog Flaming sploggers.

I guess You Fight splog, with splog? To Funny

I expect to be flamed somewhat on this post. But, I would really love to hear some say yes I am a splogger and it works for me. If you have private link list then consider publishing it or telling others about it.
