What has happened to webmasters?

I wonder what has happened to the Webmasters around the world. A very high percentage of webmasters build their websites due to some other motive than the subject matter of their websites. Most important of that 'other motive' is earning money. No I am not saying that the desire to earn money is not fair. But quality of web content is on the downward angle. So much as content quality is going down, the graph of demand for SEO is going upwards.

Webmasters, not everyone though, are compromising on their content quality and going for auto blogging, SEO, link building, PageRank, buying traffic or buying high PR back links etc. If the content quality is of higher standards, I personally believe Google will rate that web page very fairly and make sure that website is higher up on the SERPs.

Many may not agree, but I firmly believe so.

But, producing high quality original content which is of much interest to like minded readers is truly hard now a days. Hard in the sense that to maintain SE rankings, a webmaster has to update his contents frequently. Content generation very frequently may be quite a big task for many webmasters.

Every niche does not update on a daily basis. For example, someone blogging on a perfume niche will face difficulties since a new perfume is not created every day. Only some rapidly changing subjects can be updated daily. Mainly, all forms of science related subjects, science advances every day. Many other things don't.

But then, some advertisers pay high for their products. So webmasters go for those keywords, then comes the auto blogging, article copying. All in greed of high click value keywords.

Is the web becoming clumsy day by day? New blogs cropping up every minute, content not being generated at that high rate. A day is not far away when the Internet will become a junk yard of blogs with very few useful blogs to notice.

Social networking has gone fully commercial by now. Social networking has turned into corporate business arena. Look around, you'll hear sharp shouts about how to earn using Twitter and Facebook. All commercial activities going on in the disguise of social networking.

What's more worse - celebrities, politicians, journalists are pouring into these social webs. They aren't much into blogging. Thank god! If they tried to produce content, they'd soon get exposed badly with all their big inabilities.

Ever imagined what would happen if an Oscar winner actor tried to produce quality content? He'd definitely fail! Because he can only act well based on a story written by someone else and directed by someone else.

But look at their Twitter accounts? Thousands and millions of followers :) Then look at his story writer's Twitter? Hardly one hundred business contacts and no fans :D However, webmasters are better than that!
