Thanks to Blogging, and thanks to CPA networks. Suddenly there is a sudden rise in fake Blogs ( aka FLOGS). Not sure what a FLOG is and how to identify one. Its very simple.

Just google the search terms “Diet Blogs” or “Fat loss Programs” you will find a few sites that looks like a blog but are single page websites, with a before image and after image prominently displaced. RSS subscriber count in excess of 20K and comments stacked at the bottom of the page. Needless to mention, The RSS counter is a fake one and the comments are self written.

Creators of this FLOGS are doing so with one intention, to send free and paid traffic to CPA offers. These people are completely anonymous and everything you see on the site.

Lately FTC has been tracking down these people and shutting down these blogs.

During a recent master mind I explained these Fake Blogs extensively and the reasoning behind why people create these sites. When I told the people that the before and after images on these fake blogs are morphed using photoshop, some of them were completely taken back.

here is a video that I found on you tube that clearly explains how images are altered using some sophisticated tools.
