Technology Outs The Cheaters
A number of bloggers, especially in the make money online niche play games with their stats in order to fake it until they make it. This is becoming more prevalent due to the practice of flipping blogs for sizeable payouts. If you can make your blog look successful there is a good chance that you can sell it for a hefty price to someone who doesn’t know any better. There have been a number of blogs sold for 5 figures recently and with few exceptions, they haven’t been worth any where near the price paid. Using the technology available in a free tool called Feed Analysis the blog “The Rating Blog” was shown to have artificially inflated it’s RSS subscriber numbers and claims to be the fastest growing blog in the MMO niche. Thanks to Feed Analysis an unsuspecting buyer can now be better informed before making a costly mistake.
