Blog surfing

Last night and again this morning, I decided I hadn't surfed around and read any new blogs lately, so with a flick of the wrist on the faithful mouse, I hit the "next blog" button and off I went.

However, it quickly turned into a very boring, also very irritating surfing adventure -at least in my book.

It seemed that every third or fourth click to a new blog either brought up a blog with the same header about getting super free software or some such thing or else, it was someone trying to get me to click into a porn type of site.

I've never had a problem like that before when I went "blog hopping" and was wondering a couple of things about this happening. One, has anyone else experienced the same type of stuff coming up when you surf the blogs and two, does Blogger have some type of cookie or something that it is using, supposedly to zero in to blogs it thinks I would have a particular interest in viewing?

If so, especially on the second question there, I'm wondering how the heck they or whoever, got the idea I'd be interested in looking at any type of porn - soft or hard core? And, why am I constantly getting the blogs coming up with the "free software" junk being offered?

Just wondering.
