According to a study from WebmasterWorld 77% of the blogs hosted on Google’s Blogger service are spam blogs. The research was conducted by analyzing the 1000 most popular search queries and checking whether the resulting blogs were spam or legit ones.
There are several other “doorway domains” involved in the research, below you will find some of them and the respective percentage of spam blogs hosted:
- blogspot.com 77%
- netscape.com 74%
- hometown.aol.com 84%
- home.aol.com 95%
- blogstudio.com 99%
Another interesting fact is the percentage of spam blogs on top level domains:
- .info 68%
- .biz 53%
- .net 12%
- .org 11%
- .com 4,1%
I guess it just confirms the idea that you should always pick a .com domain if you serious about your website or blog.
