I could not agree more. A very useful and solid post, thanks. I look forward to the successive posts in the series.

I cannoit help but remember Seth Godin’s book “Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable” – to be noticed you have to be truly exceptional.

Nowhere else is that statement more true than in the blogosphere. There is so much white noise created by low grade content and spam blogs that if you want yours to be a success and be noticed you really have to work hard at differentiating yourself from the others in some way, shape or form and work doubly hard hanging onto the subscribers/users that you already have.

Face it. Most bloggers do not even read blogs, but use all kinds of gimmicks to try to promote their own. Every type of surf site or traffic exchange benefits from bloggers clicking to get more clicks, but readers that actually read and appreciate a good blogger are rare. Also bloggers are now clans congregating around each other and like gangs or tribes. Each blog clan separates itself from the other clans as people do in society. Bloggers that survive must develop a niche market, because fewer people could care less what others think.
Also as economic times get more tough more will give up as more Asians with cheaper connections flood the market.
