Google’s new “unavailable_after” tag had created quite a stir in the blogosphere. While writting articles for the high rankings advisor newsletter is one thing, breaking an important story in a blog is another game altogether. When the news was broken by one blogging spot, the others were quick to pick up the story and spread it in just a few minutes. Where any attempt to pull up “unavailable _after” tag gave no results, about 93,000 pages mentioned it. If that phrase was used in any Title tag or article or if there was even the slightest of suggestions, it was given instant importance and showed up in ranking in search engines.
All this led to a conclusion being drawn on bloggers. There are 10 types of bloggers ranging from the good, the bad to the sleazy. The good bloggers are three in number. The first bloggers seek permission before printing an article and if requested add link backs and a bio. They want to add some content to their sites thus the full article is published along with additional bio and links that you specify. The second good bloggers don’t seek republishing permission but give a link to the original article. This however, leave the original writer with little control in what the bio link has to say.
The third type are those who blog about something that is originally written and link back to the original article. They also provide a spin or their unique commentaries along with it. This is good because they do not duplicate the original and give the original writers the credit as well. Sometimes though they end up criticizing what has been written. The fourth are those that not only blog about what others have blogged but also link back to both the blogger’s commentary and the original article. This most times means that this secondary blogger walks away with more credit than the original article. But this is still ok.
The Fifth type fall in the bad category as they also post blogs about what other bloggers are posting but do not link to the original article. They only link to other bloggers. This happens a lot though the intention is not to disrespect the original author. There is no direct credit given to the original author. The sixth are also the bad type of bloggers. They pick a topic and blog on it but do not even digg the original article instead it is their own post that is digged.
The seventh type of bloggers are sleazy. First they republish without permission, then they don’t bother to link back. They may or may not mention the original author’s name. This is clearly a case of infringement of copyright. The last one’s who fall under the sleazy category are bloggers who may or may not link but add a lot of other crap and contextual texts to the original content. This is commonly seen these days. They hardly ever get traffic.
There are two more that do not fall under any of the three categories but are existent. These bloggers gets their facts wrong but blog anyway and only make corrections when the mistake is brought to their attention. Alternatively there are those who blog because others are blogging so why shouldn’t they? If you fall in the good category of bloggers, good for you. If you do not, please correct yourself immediately.
