An ad is an ad is an ad, but I'm keeping it because it brings up an interesting topic....

If I'm understanding you correctly, your article says you can basically just suck up (the same?) "private label contents" a bzillion other people are sucking up -- for the purpose of filling your blog with "interesting" content and getting traffic -- for the purpose of sucking up Google Adsense money.

Correct me if I'm wrong??

You ask, "Why wouldn't you do this?"

Bzillions of people -- the ones who answer, "No reason!" -- are raking in the big bucks, and I'm sitting here working like a dog for every penny, which obviously says they know something I don't, so I'm not trying to be critical or offensive in any way.

But my answer to that question is, "Why WOULD I?"

I blogged for a few months and found I *HATED* it.  My readers actually liked my blog; apparently only I hated it.  Although I dearly love to write, I *HATED* doing nothing but showing the way to other people's articles, sucking up free content and spitting it back out again, and repeating what was being repeated in a million different ways on a million different blogs.

Talk about clogging the internet!!

I feel like blogs -- (SOME blogs, most certainly not all of them, but the last I heard, there were 40,000 new blogs a DAY for crapsake!) -- provide an easy way to regurgitate regurgitate regurgitate and suck up money in the process.

For the most part, I hate blogs for that very reason.

I suspect that's short-sighted and ignorant on my part, but they just make me bite my toenails.

I still wrestle almost daily with the notion that I should start bloggin' again, but I just can't do it.

Does anybody else feel this way, or is it just me?

Luv,
