(UPDATE) What type of blogger are you

In his site, New Media Philippines, Carlo called the fifth type of blogger as P
ATAY GUTOM NA BLOGGER (PGB). Yeah, he removed the word but kept the acronym.
I can't believe that inquirer would allow such a term in this blog.

"What if 90% of the bloggers that attended are PGB?"

Isnt this term, PGB (term meant for patay gutom bloggers) which started a chain
of reactions from the blogosphere?

I thought this patay gutom term-slash-PGB has been removed since it really soun
ds offensive nga.

The author could have used a much subtle word for this PGB thing.

Moocher or just plain mooching

What is a PGB? so what if 90% are PGBs?

in the beginning it was only a hobby to share my travel experiences, now it's a
combination of google and value...i target certain keywords but also generate
content. I have a few rss readers displayed but my returning visitors are way b
eyond that

I don't do sponsored ads and paid reviews even if there are many proposals...a
singapore-based travel agency even offered to buy my blog but i didn't sell it
due to sentimental reasons :P

Hi guys, honest mistake when we were editing the article. As most of you know i
nitially there was an entire section dedicated to it but it's no longer there.
It was just one instance that was overlooked but its now edited.

Thanks!

May I ask, by what virtue, or on whose blessing does the author get the authori
ty to classify bloggers?

Is he an authoritiy in blogging? How long has he been blogging?

In classifying bloggers, by his own definition, he is implying authority over a
ll other bloggers... I wonder where he get that authority.

I am a blogger. Period.

I don't want to be classified.

by the way, the term you edited, it didn't clarify anything...

what has been done cannot be undone

who can tell if a blogger is not a legit blogger? again, by whose standards? th
e author's?

hiding the term, doesn't cleanse it.

What kind of blogger am I?

I believe I belong to the 'Hobby Blogger' and a 'Journal Blogger' type.

As a blogger, I also don't attend to an event just for the freebies and stuffs
or if the event will have a conflict with my regular work, moral values etc.

I would also like everyone to know here that not all bloggers are eager to atte
nd events. May mga normal na buhay din naman kami besides blogging. Let me also
point out na we also have a right to choose an event we like. The scenario tha
t has been put here is not the actual case in real life. Masyado namang pinalab
as dito na 'abang' ang mga bloggers sa lahat ng events. Hindi totoong ganun...

By the way, the blogosphere find the PGB term very offensive. You know what, t
he author should have thought a 100 times about this PGB term.

I appreciate the update and the clarification made pero sana hindi binura yung
first comment ko rito.

Thank you...

Why do I blog at all? Except for the profit angle I could say I blog for the sa
me reasons as others but I do primarily because it's an IT thing. I just have t
o know how to do it.

It's funny to see people who try in vain portraying themselves as experts on th
ings like, blogging...

Then they start name calling, branding, and look down on other bloggers just be
cause they don't fit to their idea of what blogging is all about.

To tell you frankly, blogging is nothing. It's just a hobby, its a journal, it
can give a patay gutom some money to buy food, its not just for people who writ
es english well, and it's not just for people who are associated with big names
, politicians, marketers. In other words - blogging is just a means for individ
uals to express themselves online - for whatever purpose, noble or not - who ca
res? and who wants to classify them? who wants to censor them?

They Who try to impose their authority and judgments on bloggers are just plain
- stupids...

I hope my blog would fall on the overlapping type, haha.. :D I want to earn fro
m my ads but I also want to be close to my readers. :)

You sir, Mr. Ople, what kind of blogger are you?

What about mixed blogger? ;) meaning, a blogger that does all that. That's sma
rt isn't it, blogging is power. But using the power you got in a good way will
make you get a good thing in return.

It's not all about money, but it will be fun earning from your hobby too. And
you also want to share what you have to say so SEO is not a bad idea to get tra
ffic then.

Balance is the key though, you focus on one and it's average. Wouldn't you wan
t to do your best on anything that you have invested your time and effort to?
Then do the best you can then! ;)

I am all types of blogger, although I started out as a hobby one :-)

Ako PGB blogger ako eh Professional Guerilla Blogger (PGB) hehehehehe . . .

Ako parang google blogger ata ehehehe

Natatawa na lang ako sa mga contents and comments sa reynaelena.com and

pinoylecchefiles kasi it really shows just how sensistive - heck, how

much tinamaan sila siguro ng definition ng "Patay Gutom Blogger." Let's

call a spade a spade, shall we?

I appreciate your being honest and frank by having written the original

version of your article, Carlo. What disappoints me is how those who

are guilty of being PGBs have easily headlocked you into apologizing.

They were offended because they exist and they can't stand being

revealed!

It's sad that you chose popularity over truth by editing your article.

I guess my blog falls in the all-of-the-above which covers much about everythin
g...my own movie reviews, google search words, hobby even the journal type. wha
t's really enjoyable about blogging is that you can do it at your own time and
not caring if it would generate traffic or not, I just don't care. And for me,
blogging is therapeutic and able to be updated on almost about everything :)

I quit my job over a year ago to blog full time. Thus far, blogging has been m
y business. I try to be a value blogger mainly, and I hope to keep doing this
for a good long time. :)

Seems I can find myself between... Journal and Value Blogger...

'Putting value to what I reflect..." :)

Ako, parang lahat. haha. Pero konting part lang ng "Google Blogger" kahit marun
ong ako magsulat ng keyword-rich articles (for SEO purposes). Kasi di ko naman
aim na magkaroon ng maraming readers. Usually my blog posts are for my eyes. Pe
ro sometimes I also need readers to answer my questions. hehe. O kaya I need th
eir opinion.

I don't know If I said it already but ...Excellent site, keep up the good work.
I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack sub
stance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I'm glad I found your
blog. Thanks, :)

A definite great read..
