There is no fucking way in hell I would waste my time setting up and managing shit splogs networks (that could be deleted any day for some unknown reason). I'd rather make a couple more good blogs.
So far all the people who foam their mouths about how good huge blog networks are, are all broke losers, living off of sig money. I can recall a dozen of threads from the top of my head when some idiot came up with this 'great idea' of setting up a blog network but in the end just said fuck it, finally realizing what a waste of time it is.

Good on you an your quality blogs then. You're right, manually setting up a bunch of shit splogs isn't going to do a 15-20k blog any good. But would you treat your old, established 15k blog the same way you would a newly launched project or a network based strategy? I sure fucking hope not. It's not even the same game, and of course it all sounds like jibberish to you when you're not playing the other's game.
To rely on splogs is ridiculous. To count them out indefinitely as a worthless investment is stupid to say the least. If you want to remain narrowminded in your thinking go right ahead, but anyone who can lookoutside the box can find massive amounts of traffic to filter down. I could write a 20 page explanation of how autoblogs can be managed and made profitable fast, but it's not worth it. All that info is out there already. It's all managable, and again i say this because you seem to think people are claiming to live off autoblogs. THEY ARE A SMALL PART OF THE PICTURE. they are worthless without a quality network of sites above them. tier your fucking network, use them to filter in new traffic. Most of my freehosted splogs do between 15-30 hits a day, my hosted splogs many are doing 100-200 daily. On mass that adds up. I use splogs to brand my handwritten projects. Go out get the good link exchanges, create the quality content, but don't turn down a viable traffic source like a fucking idiot...
It's funny that people overlook things that can easily be automated or outsourced for pennies and play a powerful roll in their overall strategy though. How long did it take you to get your blog doing 15-20k hits a day? I'm willing to bet I could have a fresh 15-20 blog network doing 1k each a day, long before you'd make it to 15-20k on a single fresh blog and on a far smaller budget. Mass production and automation is a beautiful thing.
Mind you I never really had a problem going a little blackhat when it came to generating traffic either. Autoblogs are a small part of the picture. They are not nearly as time consuming or as irritating as you think. Though there's obviously no convincing you of the value they have. I'm done arguing it for now, but I stand my ground. There is money in splogging.
