I was checking out the top 100 today and noted that a Japanese blog is number 1 and a blog entirely in Persian rates in the top 20 above the official Google blog. I think Technorati could have a breakdown of stats to tclarify the top blogs in your niche.

This is a hugely interesting post. It proves what I’ve always suspected – you have to be in blogging for the long haul to reap any rewards (assuming satisfaction isn’t reward enough). Too many bloggers fall by the wayside within the first few months and stand no chance.

I’m willing to be that most of those blogs have at least 5 or 6 posts per week about a subject that is timeless – too many bloggers choose a limited subject area and flag when they can’t find new content.

I’ve started about 3 weeks ago and I’m picking up about 200 unique visitors per week. I’ve added many links to various directories. It takes a lot of time and patience. I’m doing my own submissions because I wasn’t too sure about those “manual (hand) link submitters.”

You correctly identify one factor in Blog success. I daresay most of those blogs also worked diligently to increase traffic as well. it takes more than patience.

The difference between dreams and goals is goals have action associated with them.
