I think most "Newbies" would not understand what is ment by "website design, or web content", without an example? Website / Blog design ie: photos, layout of site etc. Content ie: actual wording on website / Blog. Yes, I also agree; speak as if you are speaking to your neighbor on the Blog.

It can be a little tough to maintain, but I currently run 5 and its not really that bad. I would think that the opportunity for SEO would be better if you did that as well as profit. If thats what you are after. <abbr><em>TheYoungGuy´s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheYoungGuy/~3/407007828/" rel="nofollow">1999 ESP Eclipse</a></abbr></em> Well, personally if it was me, I would break up the design, photography and blogging topics into 3 different blogs.

I have never been a niche blogger and I don't think I will be. Unless design/photography/blogging geeks with a touch of life becomes a niche — those are actually my favourite blogs. Of course niche blogs are important too. Simplicity is always good. Does he mention anything about passion? I think the best bloggers just love blogging, and you can tell. <abbr><em>kristarella´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.kristarella.com/2008/10/2-timothy-2/" rel="nofollow">2 Timothy 2</a></abbr></em> Sounds like a good recommendation.

You just taught me something. So i suppose the question I have is why do most sites state that it is important to comment on other sites to gain credibility and PR if you don't actually receive the backlink? @Garry,

Backlinks indeed are important, but they are totally not required to successfully pull up in the serps. In the game of search engine marketing by targeting certain keywords or phrases, there are really two ways of going about it. The first way, which I tend to place much more focus on is longtail keyword targeting. David Cooley does this too. Longtail keyword targeting can be broken down into two strategies in itself. Sheer mass volume longtail keyword targeting and low volume longtail keyword targeting via analysis and predictability. Longtail keyword targeting doesn't depend on backlinks. The other method is in targeting competitive keywords such as Pepsi or Coke. These more prime keywords do indeed require backlinks... some more than others and some you'll never in your wild dreams rank for. One thing I should mention real quick is the fact that by default, unless the author of the blog has hacked their blog, comment links are NOFOLLOW, meaning credit for the link isn't given. Many wordpress bloggers have figured out how to manually remove the nofollow attribute or actually have a plugin installed that does it for them. There isn't many people that have DOFOLLOW blogs when you compare these people against all the other blogs online. Also too, to break things down even further, there is a large % of dofollow blogs that have turned their blogs into a bad place to have your link on for the fact that they get busted for attempting to game Google.
