Purple Cow? Is that something like a while elephant with a Barney costume on?

“Be more like them”? That means you’re not original. Not remarkable. NOT the Purple Cow.

“Giving personal for your readers”. This will definitely give your site some dedicated readers that will come back for more of what you have to offer and spread the word about your site at the same time. It works two fold and showing that you care about your readers shows that you are still human and not just a complete blogging robot.

I’ve heard of the Purple Cow book. I should definitely pick that up now. I agree most with your comment about design. When I first started I was using the default theme for WordPress. I tweaked it quite a bit but it was still obviously the default theme. Ever since I updated my look I’ve noticed a sudden increase in my visitors and the amount of time they stayed on my blog.

All very good points, and I’ll have to remember to check out that book.

Darren,

Purple Cow is such a good book. Seth is an absolute master when it comes to marketing anything he puts his hands on.

Thanks for the resource.

Gak! I just posted the above comment. I meant that it HASN’T failed me. I guess that’s a lesson in proofing before you hit post.

This is one of the best blogs I have ever read. It scratches that itch you talked about. It is designed with visual clarity and organized references.Easy to see you have worked hard and long to acheive this very refined blog. Thanks for the practical guidance! I aspire to design my own blogs, as you’re right: blogspot is limiting. In the meantime,

Q: Adsense policy states they ‘share personal information (address, phone, etc) with third parties…” is there an Opt Out? Is this for marketers who will send mail spam or telemarketers who will call our phone number? I so appreciate your sharing experience with this. We’ve emailed Adsense and posted on help forums, but no answers.
THANKS!

The other lesson I’d add is to try out different topics you’re interested in as different blogs.

That way you can see what interests others. After all we’re not all interested in stamp collections or fishing but there are people out there who are.

And if they’re your passions share what you know, research further and share that too.You learn, you start a dialogue with other people and they learn too.

[...] All of this means that if you want to build a blog that is a runaway success you need to consider how your blog will differentiate itself from all the others out there. While not every blog needs to reach ‘runaway success’ status for you to make a living from blogging (20 reasonably successful blogs can do just as well as 1 amazing one) even lower level blogs need to find ways to stand out from the crowd.
