Blogging is hard work, if you’re blogging you know it. Even if you’re just starting out, you’re learning how much work is involved in being a blogger.

Think about it. The internet is filled with spammers, people are on the lookout for it. If they run into a blog that looks rundown, or uncared for they wont visit. There might be great content on the blog, but most people are not willing to take the chance. Advertisers want to advertise on a blog that is clean, they want their advertisement to be seen. Take a moment and put yourself in their shoes, you probably turned away from websites that looked ran down.
