Blog fillers

These blog fillers can be anything that a blogger will post in his blog for various reasons. The most obvious of which is when there have been a lull in a blogger’s blog and posts takes too long to be come.
But I am not saying that blog fillers are outright nonsense posts nor are they out of context. In fact, these could also be classified reserved blog posts, as some bloggers really reserved them for times when there aren’t any articles to posts.
And these aren’t really easy to identify, although one tell-tale sign is when it deviates from the blog’s niche. You will notice that it dwells on a topic or a style of writing which is really far from the blogger’s previous posts. In times that it’s in the same niche, format or style, you will notice that it just stresses or confirms a previous post.
Another reason for blog fillers is to act as spacers between paid reviews. Yes, some paid blogging affiliates requires unpaid posts in-between paid reviews, or at least after a number of reviews. And in order to fulfill this requirement, bloggers resort to blog fillers.
But for whatever reasons, blog fillers can actually be interesting and informative. In fact, in these type of posts wherein a blogger gets experimental, that he also discover a new niche.
And yes… you might say that this post is actually a blog filler.

I agree with you 100%. This has recently happened to me. I suddenly became too bored with my old site so I finally come up with a solution of not to update it anymore because I became sick and tired of just blogging about sales alert, lifestlye and fashion.
