Why Google Adsense & Wordpress Have Ruined The Internet

Posted on December 4, 2009 by Eric

Ok, this is a bit of a rant as well…

Adsense and Wordpress are ruining the internet. Yeah I said it… and I suppose it’s a bit ironic that I’m typing this into a wordpress site, but my statement still stands.

Adsense has given everyone this stupid dream that they can make huge cash on the internet just by starting a site and slapping some stupid content onto it. The result? Thousands of blogs with adsense ads all over them that have no value at all. The internet is riddled with them!

And of course none of this would be possible without the help of Google’s partner in crime Wordpress. Wordpress makes it so damn easy to start a site that you’ve got even more potential for crap on the internet. It makes it easy to optimize any pages for none other than Google… and in doing so pushes some piss poor site with no real content to the top of the search results.

I don’t want to read your poorly written article on the Motorola Droid. I want real content.

It’s too bad it’s only going to get worse.

Also, as a side note… has anyone ever wondered where all the adsense revenue from all of these crap sites goes? I mean, they can’t be making the minimum payout for G can they? Where are all of thousands of $56 account balances going to go? hmmm…
