It would be very interesting to to see the yearly profile and time and effort invested to determine the effort/reward ratio for blogs like this.
People are unlikely to provide such information on public sites (if at all), but it still would be nice to see.
I ask this as I dare say you could scrape certain ecommerce sites to automatically feed a blog based on a theme e.g. gadgets, and for little/no effort thereafter get a supplementary income source if you so wished ...thinking about it, there are probably many already doing this?
- arn 18y agoThis is why splogs exist to do exactly that. However, there's a big difference in building an actual site and a splog site, and this is reflected in traffic and search engine ranking. Getting that traffic is the trick.
- greyman 18y agoYou can scrape, but the difference is that you will not get many natural links from other sites, so google will not rank you high, nor will you have many returning visitors.
