Has anyone noticed blogs not being as much credit by Google as they were previously ? Is it my imagination or a trend flip of the switch
I do agree with you. I think Google is seeing blogs as the over-rated medium they are. There's just too much blog spam now.
It's Googles fault ! Blogger is the biggest offender of all time when it comes to spam. Making a free platform available with basically no rules or standards was the worst idea I have ever seen. It is responsible for much of the crap that is littering the internet. I have nothing against free, but there needs to be more oversight than what they have allowed. Anytime you let people do what ever they want, for free, many will take advantage and exploit it for personal gain with no regard for the how it effects others.
i def agree with above... google's whole 'this blog is innocent till someone complains' strategy with blogger has really messed everything up.
