When and where to draw the line!

    I recently launched a website that is for blogger to submit their blog articles and I seem to be stuck in a tight situation. I was wondering what you wold personally do in this situation. Most of the blogs being submitted are of great quality but I have a few I don't personally like much and they also contain little to no original content.

    What's happening is these sites have blogs on their main websites so they are submitting their blogs at my site and I don't think it's fair to the real bloggers that take time and write their own articles.

    In this situation what would you do as a website owner. Would you ban these specific Blogs and not allow them to submit to the site or would you continue letting them add their blogs? On one hand i feel it's okay and I want their traffic but as I mentioned before it's really not fair to the real bloggers trying to generate traffic to their Blogs.

    I will provide a few links in particular in which I'm talking about. I hope this gives you a better understanding of my situation and possibly you can offer a better suggestion.

    My Website: http://www.blogengage.com

    Border line spam Blogs:

    1- http://blog.shopping4coupons.com
    2- http://realestate.blogs.ozfreeonline.com/
    3- http://movietv-show.blogspot.com/

    I'm just asking your opinion and wondering if you would continue to allow these specific blogs to submit to blogengage, or would you consider it spam and not allow these url's to submit any more?

    Hi bbrian017, maybe for now you should allow it since your website looks new. And later on when the users build up then maybe you should make tight rules to stop spams.

    i agree for now being so new may not be the right time to get that selective , once you get some traffic going and some time in then you can tighten things up some.
