Just a small gripe, there.

Seriously, though, as someone who has actually profited from monetizing my blog, I suppose I shouldn’t side with this point of view. However, as an internet user who is trying to FIND things online, I’m realizing that monetizing blogs has all but destroyed the usefulness of search engines.

I just moved into a new house, and I’ve searched for various things over the past month – things like, bathroom fixtures, shower curtains, guides for artfully and tastefully hanging groupings of framed pictures, which is the best 47″ flatscreen TV for the money, security cameras, skins for my LG Dare, how to turn off an alarm system you know nothing about, and so on and so forth. And every time I search for something, I have to wade through pages of fake blogs and other sites that don’t help me with what I need, but which have somehow deceitfully clawed their way to the top of the search engine results. They’re accessorized with all the right keywords, and I’m sure they’re making a few bucks here and there from AdSense, but they’re doing nothing more than wasting my time and everyone else’s. It’s frustrating as fuck, really.

I wish there were some way around it. Any thoughts? Is there some “unscrupulous greedy assclown” filter I can turn on so I can ignore those fake sites and just get some real results?
