I would like to ask where have you gain most knowledge from about blogging. Like fellow bloggers, the internet, books. And what would you suggest for other bloggers to gain knowledge to blog better.

Do you have an explanation for this strange phenomen? For me a visitor is a visitor and a hit is a hit. Not so for the counters? What's wrong with them? What are they counting? Last not least: Which counter(s) do you really recommend? Thanks a lot! Rudi Hi Darren,

Your blog is quite popular, but you never use justified text. I always find this makes a blog look unprofessional, but that is only my opinion. Despite that, yours still looks and reads great. So, my question is, what is the reasoning behind using or not using justified text in posts? Is it just a personal preference? Are you trying to make it feel less clinical or overly precise by adding slight imperfections?

Do your blogs generate similar incomes, or are they wildly different? Do you attribute the differences mainly to age, topic popularity, amount of time you spend on them, etc? Do you ever feel conflicted in that perhaps your favorite blogs to work on are not the best money makers? Darren, could you comment on the income distribution of your various blogs?

My question is on domain names. I am based in New Zealand but selling to an international audience. Do overseas people frown on .co.nz domain names and think they must be dinky little companies, or does it make no difference? How do people respond to some of the unusual domains? .net has become more mainstream now but there are still .us .name and other strange extensions out there.

This just happened to me, I neglected my blog a little (mostly in the promo department) during August, due to the 30 Day Challenge and understandably the readership dropped slightly. However, last weekend, I suddenly lost nearly 65% of my visitors!

I gave my "niche" some thought before taking the plunge, but now I'm wondering if my niche is too...well, niche? I've been reading up on all the blogging for profit sites & took the advice to love what you blog about. I'm making very small dollars from Adsense & a few others....but when & how is it best to step back & take a hard look at the site and it's money making capacity? Can you niche be too narrow? If so, any suggestions for drawing more visitors without loosing your focus? Granted, I love blogging about my topic...and I am now making enough to cover my hosting costs.
