blog for money

Sometimes it's better not to say anything. So I didn't.

The famous "blog blog" topic discussion came up again today. You know what I think? ...people don't blog for themselves anymore, blogging is so commercialized. Blogging is an industry.

Large and even small corporations are beginning to have their own blogs (if they don't already have one). I think it's good that they are moving into this because it really so much easier for me to get information off them. E-mailing newsletters will be on their way out soon, replaced with RSS.

Even the less tech-savy computer users "I have to blog this". Every night is spent thinking of blog topics and ideas and ways to increase their site traffic. And obviously, get some money out of that adsense. But is that all bloggers think of now?

Someone said that Asian bloggers are getting boring (or something like that) because all we blog about is life, politics and food, there's no value in them. Another someone said bloggers use 'bad words' just to increase their site traffic. But you know, it doesn't really matter.

A web log after all is a log for anything and everything. What is wrong if an entry contain nonsence and no educational value or uninspiring? I blog crap all the time, and sometimes I don't even know what my crap is about. What is wrong if 'bad words' are used to express themselves? I need to curse when I'm mad to let all that anger and frustration out. Would I vent it out to my family and friends? No, so I do it here.

Go do whatever you want to increase your traffic, no one can stop you... all they can do is just bad mouth you like how you bad mouth them. Famous blogger 1 VS famous blogger 2. Insults and sarcastic comments thrown at each blogger and in the end of the day... well I get to read a few juicy post. But really la, aren't we all like that. You blog about drugs because that's your passion. You post naked pictures of yourself for more traffic. That's your choice, your freedom to do so.

But all that traffic... like I said, blogging is turning into an industry. People don't blog for nothing anymore. More and more people are blogging for money.

For me, Big Head Big Hat will always be for myself.
