Finding useful information – How hard can it be?

I don’t think any web master will disagree with the fact that the internet is content driven. People look for information and web masters provide it via their websites. It seems to be a more frequent occurrence that the websites providing the so called useful information are filled with junk – but why?

Becoming an affiliate for a product or service is bigger now than it has ever been. Internet marketers find a product they think will be big and they sign up to become an affiliate. They fill their websites with key worded information which allows them to bring in targeted traffic. They’ll use a resource box in articles stating things like ‘click here for more information’ but all you are likely to get is a pre-sell sales page, trying to sell you a product that is ‘guaranteed’ to make you $10,000 per week.

These people are not interested in providing you with the information you require. Instead they are following plans laid out by cheap and nasty e-book creators that promise to make them significant amounts of cash every single week.

This is not a rant, but just an outlook. I’m finding it harder and harder to find out useful information relating to certain topics and I’m just wondering where the internet will be within a few years. It’s already 50% filled with rubbish – will it be 100% filled with rubbish within the next 10 or even 5 years!? No doubt it will be so much worse than it already is!
