Everybody is blogging today, because blogging and earning money has been heavily rumored by the online and offline community. But not so many bloggers are ready to dig into the details of blogging. And one of the big dangers of blogging is that most of the bloggers rely on a pack of ping services and hope to get big reward from them.
In some of the articles published by me here you could see the information about ping services and their big problem - your blogs that are spamming them. Yes, your blogs!
Simple and harmless things that most of the bloggers are doing every day are nothing but a ping spam (this is clicking "Save and Continue Editing" or "Saving" the published post, etc.)
Now imagine what happens with the ping service businesses. They invested money into purchasing the "ping reading technology", they purchased servers, they started promotion, they pay salaries to the support - all this needs a nice investment.
Usually very quickly ping services become very popular: as all blogs need more ping services, an extra one is always welcomed. Within quite a short amount of time, an avalanche of blogs is plugged to this new ping service. And instead of pinging the blogs when new content is added, they are pinging any time you and other bloggers click "Save and Continue Editing" or any time you edit the previously published post. When I am working with a post I am clicking (used to click) "Save and Continue Editing" button 5-10 times, so that I don't lose the typed info before it is published. Generally we can say that only 20% and even less pings are useless for the ping service, they are not bringing any new content, just very tiny amendments.
80% of Ping Service Job = "Waste" Info!
This makes the picture very clear. Ping services have been expecting to handle a nice amount of blogs with their server capacities. But in reality they need to process 4-5 times more. And this 80% is the useless info that gives nothing very useful to them. No wonder some businesses on this market got closed. And, who knows, maybe some of the ping service businesses are on the verge to get closed shortly.
How are these Dangers of Blogging Affecting Me?
This is very serious, because from a pack of ping services that you are relying on, a big portion can be a hole into blackness, that is being drowned under your ping spam attacks. You should know how to choose the services that learned how to "avoid" your unplanned ping spam and still index your posts. 5 ping services of this kind are better than 100s of others.
You will find more information about how to be sure that your blog is plugged to the proper ping service, how to point this service out from the list of other services and how to avoid the dangers of blogging in part II of this article.
