You’re totally right!

Blogging requires lots of work which cannot be done without true passion and interest for the topic you’re writing about.

Nice tips Darren! I implemeted a personal finance blog niche with topics on entrepreneurship, investments, finance, and self-motivation in achieving financial goals.

I do think that in choosing a topic, you should have an interests on it. That’s the main consideration.

Hey everyone… how do I search for more than one word in other posts, so that it returns only posts with those two words?

I’ve noticed that many of the existing comments have either alluded to or stated outright what I feel about choosing a profitable blog topic: pick a topic that you feel will incite a debate or discussion (like this topic about choosing a profitable blog topic) :).

I began this discussion to evaluate public usable web proxies:

Which are really anonymous?

Which can be used with facebook, myspace etc, in other words: are fresh ?

Which would you recommend?

Thanks for your help,
Dschibut

P.S.: In my land, the freedom of speech is somehow constrained, please give me a hint, if you have doubts about your recommendation.

I am intrigued by your Athens Olympics Blog. Clearly it was a project that had some sort of ending to it rather than a blog that intends to go on and on. So within a short period of time you were able, somehow, to gain a high page ranking so that you would be seen high on search results. How you did that I dont know but this may account for the months of preparation you mention. Also I notice that your articles are text only with hyper links. I can imagine you guys were writing stuff and emailing it into your site rather than mucking about with html editors to arrange the article, or using the WISIWIG editor either.

I can imaging you guys sitting in front of a couple of tvs writing up the news as it comes in live, you are then pressing the enter button and woosh the mail goes off and its a new article in your blog.

Nice one.. I shall think about that.

I dont know if your holding site, Living Room has anything to do with raising your initial page ranking?

Thanks

Guy

To get high rankings in Yahoo and MSN is all about links? I can get ranked easier in Google with links,
but the other two I have no clue.

Boy! I am contemplating starting blogging in order to supplement my income but the amount of information out there and to learn about blogging is astounding!

The largest difficulty for me has been choosing a topic. I am intersted in so many different areas but am only a master of technology – specifically web site design and graphics design. These topics are covered more than abundantly. Not sure what I will write about …. hmmmmmmmmm

My main concern is that you can’t guarantee every page of your website will be included in the SERPs. Considering I’m constantly adding new products to my company’s website, I need to be sure that customers can find them as soon as possible.http://www.seoptimizerz.com

Blogging about bone health and osteoporosis is really tough because the top search engines results are always given to .orgs, .govs and .edu sites. I am definitely going to take your advice and narrow the niche.

I blog about fibromyalgia and arthritis.
I guess this is just too broad as there are more than 400 types of arthritis alone!

[...] Since we are starting a new blog from scratch we need to take some time to think about what the topic of our blog will be.

Personally, I am planing of creating a few new blogs (about 5)in the near future im my main field of expertise. My plan for now is that the four of them will have a very narrow topic and the last one will cover all the topics of the other blogs plus a few more. We will see, if it’s going to work.
