Blogging Mad

I, unlike many bloggers, am reluctant to blog about everything that I see on the net. Unless I have something important and unique to say, then I do not see why I should add to all the clutter that is already visible in the multitudes of blogs available on the net.

Of course, this may indeed reduce the frequency to which search engines visit my site, but in all honesty, who are we really trying to impress here. Search engines are not the be all and end all - visitors are really what we are after, and targeted visitors at that. And, of course, this is what search engines are aiming towards. They want to rank the blogs that release new and important information at the top. Not those that simply duplicate content or add comments about existing blogs.

Sure, if you have something important to add in regards to Rand’s latest blog post, well then go ahead and blog about it. But if you are just letting your subscribers know about its existence - forget about it. You can be sure that Rand’s post is already listed there at number 1, or at least that some other industry leaders have already added some valuable feedback regarding it.

All this comes to show that there is way too much garbage to sort through in any field, let alone SEO, and honestly we do not need this extra waste of time. Blog posts that are valuable and unique should only be posted, those that rank the highest in search engines, thus boosting your own ranking significantly more than if you just post about anything, with few valuable articles scattered in between.
