I once wrote on how Technorati’s top place was taken by a blog, using millions and millions of auto generated blogs.
I was doing some research, reading and analysing some of the supposedly “popular” blogs, only to realise that a large number of them are really full of junk. Auto generated content from RSS, keyword stuffed posts, single post blogs… things like that. Being curious, I went on to do research on some “make money blogging” programs, and I stumbled upon one that said his methods made him go from zero to over a thousand dollars in profits in two weeks!
Being pretty inexpensive, I purchased the ebook, just to check out what these people really do.
The whole system was basically junk. Really. The author recommended me to spin out 400 blogs each day (for a few days!) using an automated blog generating software to link back to the main blog (where the affiliate links are), and also use a blog commenting software to literally spam blogs with generic and useless comments (exactly like the ones you see in your spam box).
And he dares to say that the methods are for “serious marketers online”.
To be frank, I’m really kind of depressed to learn that such systems exist, and things like that can actually make money. 
… and the worse thing is, they are educating others to do the same!
On the other hand, I think if these kind of systems can make money, I think there hope for me! 
I’m definitely getting the refund for my money back for that junk! For personal reasons, I shan’t put the name of the program here. If you want to find out exactly which ebook I’ve bought, get in touch, and I’d gladly tell you privately over email or Skype, so you know which one to avoid.
I think Technorati and Blogger has to look at some things seriously.
Technorati judges the authority of a blog by counting the number of blogs that link to it. In fact, the top 100 blogs are simply the blogs that have more incoming links from unique blogs.
Engadget, the top blog, has over 26,000 blogs linking to it today, most of these blogs belong to real people, with blog of real content (whether personal or business related), and other blogs linking to them. That site that took the #1 place a couple of days ago had over 186,000 blogs linking to it, all coming from the same domain, with 0 blogs linking to them!
Shouldn’t Technorati do something to their algorithm in ranking blogs already?
For Blogger (and other blog hosting sites). There are numerous blogs with one single post, built for the sole purposed of linking out, and some of these were created since 2001! If Hotmail or Yahoo mail can deactivate an email account when you don’t log in for 6 months, surely it isn’t a heavy task to do to deactivate a blog when it hasn’t been updated over 5 years?
I really hope Blogger does something about these blog as the users migrate over to their new system. Do something about it! Pose a CAPTCHA challenge for each blog or something like that! Give these spammers some work to do if they want to continue their spamming. I mean… is there ever a reason to have over a thousand blogs? Even if there is, surely there is no reason to create 400 in a day? 
Suggestions, anyone?
Making money online is so over hyped today only because authoritative sites do not do their work well enough to minimize junk.
Would anyone have any suggestions how the real Internet marketers and genuine content bloggers can do to clean up this digital junk yard?

Yes, it’s not a matter of HOW many blogs or websites you have… it’s a matter of whether these are quality sites / contents.
I had a friend who bought another ebook that was telling him how to make money solely using Google Adsense. He then, shared with me his hardwork of putting up over 500 three pages-websites over a period of 6 months. Total income was below US$10. That was not even enough to cover his Internet connection fees for 1 month.
In a way, there’ll always be lots of “profits promising” ebooks or softwares or programs out there, and customers probably just have to know what they are getting into at the end of the day.
Luckily, you’ve discovered the rotten deal from this seller,…. whereas some people would probably “forget” to refund.

Thanks Fione, for you input! Thinking about it, I feel motivated! If these people can make money out of products like this, I think I can and should do better! Haha!
