I'm not talking about a blog network like you are thinking about. You might have thought I was talking about the likes of the likes where b5media, Splashpress Media, and others like that are included. I know these companies are legitimate. I completely didn't intend to sound like I was talking about those companies. I, of course, realize they are legit. After all, I work for Splashpress Media. ;) I'm talking more about the Orbles, eHows, and HubPages. I believe those to be more like a blogger aggregators. It is one huge site offering to pay bloggers for their content on one huge blog. They still claim themselves to be blogger networks, but they are still questionable. Even those I listed are okay, but there are a lot of networks like those that are flat out scams and post job offers in weird places like mass posting on Craigslist and such: "You can work from home and make more money than your current job by writing for us!!!" I didn't generalize, even though you interpreted it as such. It was really just a lack of a better name to describe those types of networks. Regardless, I'm glad that you agree with me on some of my points. I'm going to make a note on the article to avoid people thinking I'm generalizing all blog networks.
