Many of you might ask what is splog ? splogs, are artificially created weblog sites or blogs 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.It is a kind of thing that Google hates.[ See video why Google hates this ?]Sploggers prefer Blogger more compared to any other blogging platform.Google's Blogger is sometimes described as a haven for splogs, with some estimates suggesting that three-quarters of the blogs there are just empty spam, while other popular blogging platform WordPress.com keeps the tricksters out, with splogs estimated at just 1% of the total.
Why wordpress have so little number of splogs while both blogger and wordpress provide free blog.Answer lies in the priority issue and adsense ads according to Matt Mullenweg, WordPress's founder.According to Matt they deal with it very strictly and they respond to splog report within hours while Google is somewhat facing a priority issue with this problem.
"Google has been very much silent. There are times when I'm largely ignored. They do actually respond quickly to sploggers that create tens of thousands of splogs," says Splogfighter, Splogfighter is an anonymous American has battled splogs on Blogger for two years by reporting them to Google. He has detected at least 1m splogs including, earlier this year, a splogger in charge of a record 265,000. His database contains details of 13m blogs; he has even created a visual method for watching when they're created.He too is not very much encouraged with Googles aproach on splog.
So no wonder why Google's Blogger is becoming a splog platform.Blogger's answer to splog seems to be very promising but results tell us different story.
