The dark side of blogging…

(warning… rant ahead.)

I really don’t know how to start this. I am a bit amused and a little irritated. Irritated that a person would dedicate a blog just to insinuate, harangue and trash on fellow Filipino bloggers without cause or reason. Amused in the sense that this person still keeps on reading the blogs that he so eloquently spurn. C’mon boy, and whoever told you to read our blogs anyway? Haven’t you gotten enough reads about adsense, recipes, seo or podcasting that you still have to read our crappy blogs?

I would have passed it off as a humor blog pretending to make something out of nothing with the author indulging himself in an ocean of self-deprecating wit. It must have bruised his ego to learn that he’s not alone in the blogosphere. Or shoud I say he feels that his efforts are not being recognized by the blogging community despite his best efforts to churn out dozens and dozens of splogs each month.

But despite his best efforts to cloak himself with anonimity, no one is truly anonymous on the internet. So let me give this guy some words of advise:

If you want to hide your identity on the internet…

  • Make sure that your domain is cloaked by a private whois.
  • Don’t use the same Registrar and hosting provider to host all your blogs.
  • Don’t link your anonymous blogs from your pseudo-public blogs.
  • Don’t ever post your public email on your anonymous blog.
  • Try to change your style of writing.
  • Don’t use the same nick/handle to reply to comments on your anonymous blog.
  • Don’t use the same AdSense account on your public blog and your anonymous blog. Haven’t you heard of the publisher ID?
  • Add a no-cache meta in your blog header so Google would not have a copy of your old blog.

I guess you’re not as smart as you think you are, huh? Oh, and yes, you can blog about this one too. We’ll be waiting.

And what’s with that MySpace profile? Can you spell Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?

      One way to market your product (or yourself) is to polarize people. If people love you, it is good. If people hate you, it is good. If people can’t tell, that’s bad, because you’re in the zone of mediocrity.

      Peace and goodluck to all Pinoy bloggers!

      This reminds me of Sir Walter Scott:

      “..The wretch, concentred all in self,
      Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
      And, doubly dying, shall go down
      To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
      Unwept, unhonored , and unsung…”

      it really behooves me how anyone can clain freedom of speech under the circumstances. for a journalist, especially, who’s supposed to know that no freedom is absolute. and that the right to freedom of speech can never be used as a cloak to hide darker motives.

      freedom of speech, my foot.

      Splogger, splogger, no links for sploggers.

      GL,

      The truth here is that I never read any of the prior posts of Cathy and MV referring to your blogs so when I posted about this one, it was purely my own observations based on your posts in several of your blogs. Nobody came up to me and asked me to identify who owns the anonymous blog nor was I enticed to retaliate on their behalf.

      I will not go into the details which of the posts in your dozens of blogs “parodized” me, Connie, Retz, Marc and God knows which other Pinoy bloggers you’re making fun of. Cathy has quoted that several times in her blog. But the very idea that you take much effort in doing so is distateful and unrespectful IMO.

      If you call such acts is your right to free speech, then I can also claim the same with my entry here in my blog. Besides, MV already pointed to the fact that I am not naming you publicly or linking to your blog so how can that be putting pressure on someone that is virtually non-existent? And I guess it would be really rude of me if I pointed out all your scraper portals and recipe listings to all my readers here.

      And since you deleted your “About Me” in PBP and you have private domain info in your PS blog network, I got the impression that you do not want to take responsibility or own your words when you parodize us. You fairly well know as a ex-journalist that you are accountable for your own words and actions.

      And another thing, this is not about competing for keywords in Search Engines. This is not about you getting more traffic than any other pinoy blogger here. This ain’t about who writes better and who gets higher placement in SERPs. It’s about respect and humility.

      I am not really sure how you wanted to be be identified on the internet and in the pinoy blogging community but I sure hope you don’t want to be called a splogger and a barnacle.

      SPLOGGER.

      NO LINKS FOR SPLOGGERS.

      hahaha
      Manuel V, so true. Sino kaya ang delusional. Yong obscure blogger who feels the whole blogging community is out to get him for his “parody”blog
      o yong pusa na who admits she is dyslexic.

      Hey Mr. Lacuarta, so by admission, you do not know my blog and yet you googlebombed my name and called me delusional.

      If you know me, you would not even hint that I would make sumbong and sulsol to yuga just to get back at you.

      I can fight my own battle Mr. Mukhang Cuarta ehek LA CUARTA pala.

      I did not know that calling Mviloria’s podcast boring is a parody.

      I have to see the definition of parody.

      I did not know that putting up a blog that is
      exactly the same as that of SEO’s marc macalua
      does not have an iota of intent to mislead the
      readers that it belongs to a blogger who worked for that niche for months.

      I did not know that writing in your recipe blogs that it is contributed by pinoycook is not motivated to misrepresent to the fans and readers of Sassy that it is hers. What more, the intro that you are the Pinoycook strengthens the fact that you are riding on Sassy’s popularity.
      Di ba nakakahiya yan.

      No malice?. freedom of speech? tsee

      Yuga is not a dumb person para gatungan. I do not have to make gatong. Susunugin ko na lang siya. hahaha Your reference to him about googleadsense, about blogging consultancy are obviously attacks and not parodies. INGGIT ba. Definitely.

      You claim you are earning from the internet? where google adsense? I checked the traffic. You can hardly get 50 for your unique visitors. Ako lang siguro yon nang araw na yon. Yong click pa?

      Lahat na yata ng blogs na nasa Top Pinoy blogs
      dinuplicate mo.

      1.Pinoybigblogger,pinoybig brother from retz and
      ricky

      2. recipes from Sassy and other food bloggers

      3. SEO from marc macalua

      4. Sexy blogs (porn and matching /escort)

      Do you have to go this low. Nasabi pa namang graduate ka sa UP, naging opisyal ka ng UP publication, tapos masahol ka pa sa mga slut tabloids na sinusunog sa bangketa para hindi makapollute sa isipan ng mga bata?

      5. pinoyblogpress for pinoy blog. Ikaw lang naman ang nagsusulat sa group blog. ginamot mo pa ang pinoy blog ni yuga para makuha rin ang keyword pb. Ow do ihave to be a rccket scientist not ot konw your motive. heh.

      6. Hindi mo magaya ang cathcath, kasi. Kasi it takes one like me to make a Ca t talk. kita mo yong sinabi saiyo ng pusa ko? Style mo bulok.

      Akala mo ililink ka namin. Beee
      Maglilink na kami ng kagaya ni retz na walangsawang nagpapasalamat sa mga tumulong sa kaniya pagsimula niya at kung saan siya nkarating at hindi kagaya mong magnanakaw ng ideya ng may ideya. Tapos makikipeace ka kay yuga.

      Parang gusto mong magbenta ng humburger at chickenjoy at ginagamit mo ang salitang JOLLYBEE for Jollibee tapos siniraan mo pa ang Jolibee. Hindi mo naintindihan. Ibaba mo muna ang iyong utak at pahingahin, masyadong stress
      na kaiisip para ka makilala sa blogging world.

      sorry no link of url for you. tsee.
