Is it fair?

OK, these tabloid celebrities are probably more diligent than most of us lazybones who blog only when we』re in the 「blog」 mood, so naturally they』ve accumulated a larger stock of articles. As far as their writing techniques are concerned, they might be better than average amateur writers, but still nowhere near what is required of a professional writer.

However, their blogs are arguably among the most popular ones in the Chinese blogsphere. I think, the trick lies in the fact that they are absolutely super saleswomen. Apparently, they have been clear about their best selling points, such as, nudity, a never failing recipe for a best seller; they have been very direct or even aggressive in promoting their products , by means of posting the scantily clad or even topless photos of their own or insetting graphic descriptions of their passionate sessions in their blog articles.

More importantly, they have acquired a profound understanding of the psyche of Chinese media consumers and the government』s censorship policies to ensure that their blogs can generate the maximum controversy and attract the broadest reader interest without being blocked by the internet watchdog in China.

So in the face of these expert rivals, can we ordinary bloggers do something to compete with them in raising our profiles in the ever-enlarging blog community ? No, probably not, not for the male bloggers anyway. After all, as men, we are a bit short on bodily features that we could show off on the web and lack the ability to cause a great sensation without breaking the government』s 「Great Firewall」. Until some of our genius fellow male bloggers have come up with a better idea, we might just have to come to terms with the unfair situation and keep churning out more blogs through our bleary eyes - or even manage to develop some appreciation of our rivals' masterpieces.

(This is one of my earlier blogs. Obviously, times have moved on and the heroines highlighted in this blog have, indignantly, given way to the reigning  "Chinese post 90's  generation" ).
