Adsense Blog Spam: A Major Cause For Concern

Spam blogs are an increasingly disturbing phenomena online, more so because spammers use them a lot to generate Adsense revenue.

Adsense Spam blogs as the name suggests, are those blogs that have very little or nothing in terms of content and are set up mainly to attract and drive traffic in a certain direction. The vast majority of these spam blogs carry Adsense ads because the purpose of the spammers is to generate lots of Adsense revenue in this illegal and unacceptable manner. Many Adsense spam blogs are set up for the sole purpose of creating hundreds of links pointing to a target blog so as to improve its' SEO ranking with leading search engines. The spam blogs also contain links pointing to one another, designed to maximize their illegal traffic in the network of spam blogs.

This Adsense spam blog menace has mainly hit popular service providers who host free blogs. Blogger.com, the most popular and host to millions of blogs has been the worst hit.

Adsense spam blogs are a growing menace and a very serious problem which is currently being fought off very aggressively by the folks at Blogger.com. Not only do these blogs unnecessarily occupy valuable space and resources that would be better utilized elsewhere but they threaten every user's enjoyment of the World Wide Web. Adsense spam blogs threaten every online business' long term future if they are not severely and firmly dealt with.

Top Adsense Blog: Two Of The Biggest Obstacles In Creating One

Many of us usually greatly envy anybody who owns a top Adsense blog. More so because we tend to spend a lot of time, seemingly in vain without yielding the sort of results that would suggest that our Adsense blogs are rapidly headed to the top.

Actually there are two major obstacles bloggers usually face that are the biggest hindrance in their efforts to create a top Adsense blog.

a) Top Adsense blog Obstacle Number One: Traffic

Without traffic, no matter how excellent your blog is or how good the Adsense tips you use are, you will go nowhere and a having a top Adsense blog will remain nothing but an unfulfilled desire. A mirage in a dry desert.

This is sad because blogs have enormous potential for traffic and various tools and techniques can easily be used to greatly enhance traffic. For instance link-baiting posts, which provoke and cause numerous other blogs to quickly link to you can bring in huge amounts of traffic. Not to mention using carefully selected popular keywords that can attract huge traffic via search engines.

b) Top Adsense blog Obstacle Number Two: Inadequate Content

The way to earn serious cash or top dollar from any Adsense blog is to have plenty of useful content spread out over numerous pages. The problem with many blogs that aspire to reach the top ranks is that they do not have enough content. It is very important that the content is original because search engines greatly penalize duplicate content. Hire ghost writers or content providers to help you build up the number of pages on your Adsense blog to a level similar to that of the top Adsense blogs.
