Then what are the clues they need to look for on a blog in order to determine if the value is real or not. There isn't a Better Business Bureau for Blogs. No real criteria that helps us to decide who is bluster and who passes muster. We throw around words like "expert" and "value" all the time without really exploring what they mean and what qualifications they have. I'm just asking people to think about how they use these words and how they determine the expert value of a blogger. I think bloggers need to explore this for themselves as well as for the "expert" blogs they visit. It’s up to the consumer?

Value vs. someone saying they provide value. <p> How do we know if they're legit or not? That's for the reader to parse out. <p> Not sure what you're arguing for? People lie to get business, it's up to the consumer to decide what's real value or not. You’re talking about two different things then Lorelle. Value vs. someone saying they provide value.

How do we know if they’re legit or not? That’s for the reader to parse out.

Not sure what you’re arguing for? People lie to get business, it’s up to the consumer to decide what’s real value or not.

We throw these words around as if they mean something. If they do, what do they mean? How would you know if a blog you are visiting has the value that makes it qualify as "expertise"? unless you cruise through and inspect and verify everything that is said. There are a lot of bloggers who have a lot to say who call themselves experts but the evidence isn't there to back them up. The volume is, but the validity isn't. So what does "value" mean in this context? Which then begs the question of defining “value”.
