These days it seems that more and more people are putting their own personal content on the web. Some of it is fresh and relevant and some is just stupid, but these days if you have something to say then you can say it on the web. And honestly this is a wonderful thing.

Some of the issues that pop up when all these people are putting stuff online are annoying.

1. They need to explain what it is that they are talking about. Many people just rant or don't fully explain the topic at hand, and when this occurs it is like entering a conversation that began an hour ago, you just never catch up or figure out what is going on.

2. There is too much keyword spamming, making the text difficult to read, because is just doesn't make any sense.

3. A properly used link is important. A link should assist your passage to content that has relevance, really more than one link to 300 words is unnecessary. Don't make the mistake of imagining that a whole bunch of links is a good plan. When there are nearly as many links as there are plain words then it is total overkill. Who would like being bounced out of an article every few words? It is too much of an info blast, and the links lose their strength. It's better to keep it simple.

4. A personal story is only relevant if it different and interesting or has a moral to it. Many people believe that telling stories about there day to day life is interesting to others, well be assured, and unless you have some real adventures, and then just spare us all. We want to hear the outrageous, the touching, or the relevant stories to our lives, and that means that everything just isn't worth discussing on the web.

5. Be careful not to flood the web with nonsense, believe it or not this is important, because the web is still maintaining all the information from the past and present and continuously repeating the same old content is overwhelming the system. Now some of the web engines can spot and delete repeat content but we as users still need to behave responsibly with what we put up and where and why.

All said and done, put content that is worth something on. Just because you are allowed to put anything doesn't mean that you have to. Give people some important information or make them laugh about something, that is a huge improvement over adding to the drivel that is weighing the web down.
