The art of blogging, and it is an art form, is 2% blog and 98% integrity. If you don't have integrity you can't make it in this business. A proclamation I'm completely willing to make only two weeks after starting my first blog. You're responsibility as a blogger is to deliver the message you set out to deliver without compromising your blog.
Well apparently some bloggers didn't get that memo.
It has come to Inquisitive Online's attention that there is disturbing trend going on inside the blogosphere, or blogosdome if you're a fixed earth christian, that many bloggers are using a cheap trick called result netting. Result netting is when a blogger, or journalist, arbitrarily adds popular search subjects in their article just to up the amount of searches they'll be included in.
An example of this is if I were to say: Justin Bieber hasn't seen the latest Twilight movie because he was watching porn and having sex with Barack Obama.
Just in that sentence I mentioned five popular web searches. Justin Bieber, Twilight, porn, sex and Barack Obama. By just mentioning those things the probability that this site will be discovered has increased. And the number of times I say Justin Bieber, Twilight, porn, sex and Barack Obama increases the articles relevance in those search results.
The fact that bloggers would use terms like Justin Bieber, Twilight, porn, sex and Barack Obama just to get their site discovered is abhorrent. And it's not just Justin Bieber, Twilight, porn, sex and Barack Obama that these people are using. They're also using words like Selena Gomez, interracial, amazon, wikipedia, golden shower and Lady Gaga in sentences like...
" Selena Gomez gave Lady Gaga an interaccial golden shower while looking up the company history of Amazon on wikipedia."
This stuff is happening all of the time. All of the time. Merely in the hopes of beefing up page views and blog followers. I refuse to stoop to the level of merely mentioning Justin Bieber, Twilight, porn, sex, Barack Obama, Selena Gomez, interaccial, amazon, wikipedia, golden shower and Lady Gaga to get more followers. Because my followers want news stories and facts, not Justin Bieber, Twilight, porn, sex, Barack Obama, Selena Gomez, interaccial, amazon, wikipedia, golden shower and Lady Gaga.
I just hope that bloggers and journalists read this, and feel ashamed of what they're doing. Because it is shameful. Almost as shameful as Kim Kardashians dress at her wedding which can now be seen at...

Shameful!
Update: Justin Bieber actually hasn't seen the latest twilight movie. Hmmm, story?
