@ Skellie, I’m so glad you agree on that point! I know you were starting to experiment with writing one value-packed post per week, and I think it would be really great for you as well as bloggers everywhere if it works out.

I think the daily frequency mandate is definitely a mistake. I'm not arguing that it doesn't work swimmingly for some bloggers, but it's a mistake to proclaim it a one-size-fits-all strategy. I know if I produced something every day Skelliewag would be much less than it is (not that my existing strategy is perfect). Skellies last blog post..The Pocket-sized Guide to Blogging

@ Natural, I can understand not wanting to read too many pillar posts. Although they’re very useful, it takes more time and energy to read them. When I write a longer post, I try to wait longer before posting again, to give people more time to “recover.”

@ Marelisa, another good tip from you! I guess having content out there on high-ranking sites can be effective at pulling in readers.

Hunter: I have a squidoo lens called “100 Things To Do Before You Die – Create Your Bucket List” that ’s been giving me 5 to 10 visits to my blog every day.

Hunter, this was a great list, but one thing I like, but don't take too much time to read are "pillar posts". I read books. If a blogger does pillar posting every day, I would stop reading their blog. Once a week is okay, but I do subscribe to blogs where there is a pillar post sometimes twice a day, it's overwhelming. They do stand the test of time, so they'll be there, should I every decide to read them again, but I like the KISS method. Naturals last blog post..5 Random and Quirky Things No One Knows About Me

Touche, Hunter. I had only inserted that AdSense earlier in the week but I see your point.

@ Ari, I don’t think that every blogger has to want to make money from their blog, but many do. I noticed that you have a small amount of AdSense on your blog, so I guess you want to make some money too, even if it’s not your main focus.

Anyway, this is a review of an ebook about making money blogging, hence my post is about the same topic as the ebook.

Similar to this classic post from 2006 from Seth Godin explaining his rationale for not including the ability of comments on his blog, I don't necessarily agree that blogs exist to make money yet you state at the very beginning of this post that one out of every 1,000 bloggers earn $20 a month. Why do you equate blogging with income?

Marelisa, it sounds like Ezine articles are giving you some decent traffic. And beyond that, they should be helping you with your page rank. I know what you mean about not wanting your blog content appearing elsewhere. I want the stuff that means the most to me to be right here on my blog, not all over the place. Of course, it takes a lot longer if you have to write new articles just for Ezine. Still, it sounds like it might be worth experimenting with.

But now I’m wondering…when you submit something through Article Marketer, is Ezine articles one of the places it goes to? In that case, it seems like you could get a lot of exposure. I’ll have to check that out.
