I must agree with Empress on this one. Splogs tend to be spam blogs with copied content or gibberish for the sole reason of gaming search engines or building backlinks to another site. Also, if you feel that some may view the affiliate WordPress site as a splog, you may want to consider customizing each of the product pages with your own unique content. Takes work, but could pay off in the end :). And, on a final note - you can append a .html extension to WordPress powered pages using .htaccess. However, the actual page link title may change though (still causing a URL problem). Good luck with the conversion if you do decide to make it! ~ Teli Just happened across your site while link hopping.

I think a splog is more like copied content - or content that makes no sense to an average "human" - and is for search engines only... and google adsense is "everywhere". I think if you have good content and google and maybe another aff. link or two in there - I wouldn't call it a splog. I've been working on a few one page sites - because, well, I'm just tired of trying to update and keep my other sites "current". I'm looking to simplify - and thought of trying out the one page sites and see what happens. :) I’ve been thinking about those thin affiliate sites – and how they might be seen as a “splog”.
