Since the beginning of time there has always been an evil to match every good. Hercules had Hades, Mufasa had Scar, and of course ….. Luke Skywalker had Darth Vader. Now I’m sure you’ve heard the quote “History Repeats Itself“, well that’s exactly the case for bloggers.

“For every great blog out there, there is a spammer just waiting to pounce on it.”
