Why You Should Not Use Your Blog to Spread Fake Information

[Mika]

Blogging has basically three purposes: one, to find and reach the readers for your written work; two, to promote something (product or services); three, to make money.

Whatever is your reason for blogging, you should never do one thing, that is...

Spread fake information

Spreading fake information implies so many things, for instance

Publishing posts on topics that are not true,

Publishing posts without verifying the information through independent sources

Spreading rumors,

Publishing articles on conspiracy theories and claiming the information as the truth, etc.

Spreading of fake information can be intentional as well as unintentional. Some bloggers are in such a hurry to become rich through blogging that they try to spread fake information in order to draw massive traffic. Some bloggers do not do enough research on the topics that they are publishing, therefore, they end up publishing fake information. They are doing this unintentionally; yet, this is also harming their reputation.

When you publish fake information, your blog will be penalized by Google. When this happens, your blog will be blocked from search engines. Being blocked from search engines means people cannot find your blog on Google or other search engines.

Your blog will also be marked spam or scam on social sites where you are posting your blog links.

Due to the advancement of technology, there has been a spread in fake news and fake informations. People rely on the internet for informations and news. The internet also serves as a place to learn since you can literally find any information you want in minutes without having to go through a library or reading bunch of books.but with this advancement of technology, with just a single search on Google and you'll find your required information. Now, people now turn to the internet for news and updates going on around the world. With the increment of so called bloggers who claim to post news on their blog, they've been a wild variety of fake news spreading on the internet. Journalist have to cope with this by Fack checking news circulating online to prevent spread of fake information. There is also a soar in posting of plagiarized or copy & paste content. Google try to filter these contents online using their online algorithm, but not all are been filtered out. As a bloggers you can be jailed for posting or distributing fake news. Beware of fake sites and get your news from a credible source. Always fact check posts you doubt are true and make sure you avoid posting fake news on your blog/website in order to avoid being jailed.

As a result of spreading fake information, the blogger has already harmed his or her reputation for life via the blog he or she is using to push for those fake articles. It is better to generate one quality and resourceful article once per month, even if your blog isn't getting high traffic, than pushing for 10 or more fake contents within a month. Fake articles stand a chance of losing it all, getting blacklisted also in the near future, whereas the quality content creator doesn't stand any risk of losing it all. Because, he or she post good contents and have higher chances of seeing articles posted via his blog getting indexed on search engines. And again, it wouldn't be blocked by social medias which he or she is sharing link on. So, we should be wary of the information we shared in the internet, post more of quality is the key to be successful in our blogging career. Even though, it will take a very long time to reach the level we craved for, slow and steady is just the key, than rushing it all, at the end losing it all. I rather start it off gradually and source for quality information to share which is originally written by me.

I know that a lot of people use this method to try to monetize their blog but on the long run they are probably going to lose out.

If you are the type of people that use your blog to spread fake information or malicious contents then on the long-run Google will probably penalize you and you will not be able to monetize your blog. A lot of people can go at any length to get visit their blogs but on the long run they will realise that it is not working.

If you want to venture into blogging it is very much important you venture into a very good niche and have proper knowledge and information about how to become a successful blogger. Creating great contents will probably push you to become successful as a blogger.

This is why it is always advisable for people who wants to venture into blogging to choose great niches with evergreen articles. An article you write today can actually continue to fetch you money even in the next 20 years.

This is one thing a lot of people do not know because they actually want to make quick money but on the long run they will lose out.
