Just an hour before, I was surfing on
www.FirstBloggerClub.com, and I stumbled into an article that really amused me because it was so realistic and I myself observed it too, and that is about the ironic or paradoxical reality about blogging.
As stated on
Google Define:
Irony is statement that, when taken in context, may actually mean the opposite of what is written literally or it is a statement that oppose on what is real.
I have stumbled into a lot of blogs which imply irony, they tend to pretend and claim to be something in which in reality they are not.
And here are some of them that you may also find familiar and amusing:
1.) A blog which gives tips on search engine optimization (SEO) can’t be found on search engines results page, and its URL, content and keywords do not appear also when searched.2.) A blog that provides advice on how to increase your Alexa traffic rank (in Alexa, a lower traffic rank is better, higher is worse) has a very low Alexa traffic rank of 2,993,997!
3.) A blog that has a lot of posts about boosting traffic, like a post titled “100 Ways To Boost Website Traffic” and how to generate daily visitors, is only generating an average of 10 visitors a day for the last 30 days.
4.) A blog titled “Self-Reliance” with keywords as self-reliance, financial independence, frugal, being thrifty, is posting about the birds and the bees, going to Hongkong to shop and spend money.
5.) A blog that talks about food and recipe publishes different posts dealing on a lot of topics, except food and recipe.
6.) A blog that boasts of publishing original content, with a copyright after each post, sources its articles from Free Articles directories and from private label rights (PLR).
7.) A blog that provides a lot of tips on blog monetization, maximizing blog income from ads, and whose owner claims to be making $ 3,000 a month from blogging and income from ads, has zero ads and is looking for ads, with an ad that says: “Your Ad Here”.
8.) A blog that publishes many articles on how to make money blogging, how to earn a million dollars from blogs, how to generate thousand dollars a day from affiliate income, has a PayPal “Donate” button asking for donations from its readers to “help maintain the site.”
9.) A blog that is particular about niche and gives tips on how to find a niche and niching and which claims to be a blog about nature, always posts a lot of pictures of celebrities, some in skimpy outfits.
10.) A blog with an Entrecard widget and has articles giving tips on how to be popular in Entrecard and to increase ad prices in Entrecard, could not be found in Entrecard’s Top 300 most popular blogs, and its ad price is only at 8 entrecredits (ec) a day. How absurd to claim and teach something which is almost the exact opposite of yourself! but would you believe that this paradoxical facts on the blogosphere also reflects real life?
Most people tend to claim themselves on what they want themselves be, but always fail to be a model on what they are telling.
