I agree with most of the above. I’m a regular reader here (although a rare commenter), and although I don’t have a blog which makes money directly from its content via advertising, it is something which fascinates me.

Much of your advice works well with the kind of blogging I am doing as well.

Personally I wouldn’t use a forum if you were to implement one. There are dozens of these about and it is much much harder to take away useful information from them than it is by reading your very focused and targeted articles.

What do readers want ?
Darren Rowse asks for the second time to problogger.net's readers what they really really want. What I really want is to know is how to increase the daily traffic. I want to know how to find the sources that give the informations before the compet…

I also agree about Danger Stevens post. He said it clearly enough and would be the kind of information that would be most valuable to all levels of bloggers.

I would say just keep continue doing what you are doing now, providing news and insights about blogging and tips and tricks. That has been very useful.

Other areas which could maybe be expanded on are joint venturing and how to leverage the power of a blog into JV deals.

And finally, the one question which I would like an answer to: is there a direct and predictable relationship between the total income of a blog and the total number of blog posts? My thinking is that the answer is yes, however I would like some more informed opinions on this.

Don’t change, I think your traffic will often be the best judge of what works and doesn’t, but for my liking the mix is great as it is.

I agree with Danger on featuring blogs at various stage of development and how their growth was achieved. Articles on Affiliate programs and monetizing a blog are always good as well as a review of softwsre tools like ecto.

I second the forum idea, but what I’d like most is a short series of articles where you discuss the different paths your blogs have taken. How did they grow from 1 to 1000 readers initially and what were the differences in how each blog got there?
I think this would provide great insight to those of us struggling with the mechanics of blog growth.

I think a moderated forum would be a great idea!
It would certainly notch up the inter-activity of your site here, and who knows, ads in the forums might bear fruit!
