3 out of every 4 BlogSpot blogs are Spam

A survey done over at Webmaster World indicates that 75% of all blogs in BlogSpot are spam.

According to this study the top 15 doorway domains consist of 14 domains, where the spam percentage is over 74%. This means that in four search results of current study, three sites turned out to be spam. The researchers scanned 1000 most searched queries: ‘phentermine’ on blogspot.com and the query ‘ringtone’ on hometown.aol.com. The WebmasterWorld experts easily identified more than a half of the search results as spam.

The following list shows the spam percentage on ‘top doorway domains’:

– blogspot.com 77%
– netscape.com 74%
– hometown.aol.com 84%
– hometown.aol.de 91%
– oas.org 78%
– xoomer.alice.it 77%
– home.aol.com 95%
– freewebs.com 52%
– blogstudio.com 99%
– maxpages.com 81%
– usaid.gov 85%
– blogsharing.com 93%
– sitegr.com 100%
– torospace.com 95%
– blog.hix.com 100%

The list shows that some of these blogs are used exclusively, or almost exclusively, for spam. The main reason for such a torrent of splogs is the fact that these sites provide blog space for free, just to attract more traffic.

Over a year ago, I said that Adsense on Blogspot drive splogs. What I didn’t realize is that it had gotten this worse. Are we nearing the time when almost all of BlogSpot will be 100% spam? I guess that’s the price you get for being the most flexible and popular blog service around.

Maybe that’s the reason why WordPress.com isn’t allowing advertising like PPP, TLA or ReviewMe on its free blog service.

    Hello! I realize this is sort of off-topic however I needed to ask.
    Does running a well-established website such as
    yours take a large amount of work? I am brand new to operating a
    blog however I do write in my journal on a daily basis.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and thoughts
    online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
    Appreciate it!
