@Anz..

Who owns your blog ??

We or is it you ??

Go ahead and write what ever you want.. Blog is suppose to be your own free place.. If you think writing more stuff on make money online is good for your blog, then do so, as after all its your blog's niche..

There always would be two pools, and there always would be new comers and old guys..

We may know, make money and all that is boring since we are reading it since half a decade now, but like cartoon, kids are born, and they (here new bloggers) will continue to read and love Tongue out

Who loike Chota Veem stuff ?? but kids do, and we, fan of tom and jerry say, yawk..

To be honest, blogging is fun only if you enjoy doing what you are doing. If the sole purpose is to earn from blogging, why not start taking up freelancing project that ensures that you earn while working from home? Of course I love getting traffic on my blog and if I can get paid for doing something I love then it's even better, but I draw the line at writing something that appeals to the audience than me....I have a day-time job to earn my living....i write for fun and for de-stressing.

I think we should have more of this kind of discussions here.

It is an interesting point - Most popular blog posts are indeed about blogging. It is becoming quite a cliched topic. Everyone shoots out some 10 random tips for blogging.

The normal process is that a blog should be either influanced by how readers want it to be or totally opposite, how the bloggger wants it to be..

Here, a blogger wants to go in a direction where fellow blogger wants him to be ??? Surprised

Regardless of the topic though, which indeed infact a debatable topic as blogging about blogging Tongue out

I used to follow blogs about blogging and SEO earlier, when I was a newbie. But now, I don't follow any of them, mainly because most of the blogs just rewrite the same thing in different words. There is nothing new. If you can add value to your content by adding something new or discovering/reporting something unique, there is no problem and people would love to read them. But posting content just for update purpose becomes boring for followers.

There is no harm in blogging about blogging as long as the number of blogs that blog about blogging stays lower than the number of other blogs and as long as there are people who like reading the same thing again and again. Smile

Some three years back, I used to read a lot of such posts on many sites - some popular ones and some which showed up on the first page in Google search results. Now, when I try doing the same thing, I feel that there is nothing new which I need to learn. If it is now, I already know that that thing doesn't work. 

But still, one can still maintain a blog about blogging but for it to be successful, a lot of research is required for every single post.

Coming to the point:Hell yeah, why blog about blogging duh!Every blogger has his/her own definition of creating their blog.

And that makes them UNIQUE
