I'm operating under the assumption that most people don't have a clue and those that do aren't going to tell you shit!
That's pretty much 100% correct. A couple of years ago I offered to host websites - not just blogs - and give basically free reign to anyone who wanted to be a part of a network that actually made some money.

All they had to do was upload pics, link to the programs where they got those pics, and post the odd description every now and then.

Two people took me up on that offer. I had LOTS of enquiries about running a free blog host, but I actually expected people to work in exchange for the traffic and hosting.

Silly me!
