Why is it that way? People blogging for money. When you search for popular content, you have millions of webmasters trying to make a buck with their website/blog. You will find original content on maybe 1% of the web sites, others are just “content replication”. Bloggers who do content replication are bloggers seeking easy money so they re-write existing articles in their own words. We all do it in a certain way as we have to gather our information somewhere, but there’s a way of being creative and not repeating the same articles over and over again.
What is more annoying is that webmasters can make money with content replication. Search for “How to make money online” and you will most likely get 10 similar posts on the main search page. The only credit that goes for the webmaster is its ability to be ranked on the first page of Google. Apart from that, it’s more or less the same content.
The Web is empty because probably 98% of the content is duplicate content re-written in the hope of getting some traffic and making a couple of bucks out of it. Sad thing is it works if you manage to get traffic.
I understand sometimes as a blogger you don’t have time to write but you have to write a little something for your readers. It’s quick and easy to take existing content and re-write it a bit, but this shouldn’t be more than 1-2% of the posts.
Anyway, I would just like to see more original content and stop having the impression of re-visiting the same web site over and over.
