Benefits of having your very own established blog.

Benefits of having your very own established blog.
I feel like making one of those lists that you see all the time on Digg except that this will be focused to all of you big time bloggers, and hopefully even read by some of the smaller bloggers in hope to inspire them to keep on blogging to see what their blog can become in the near future.

  1. The mecca for the smaller blogs.
    If your blog ever gets as big as Shoemoney’s or John Chow’s your blog will really become a bible or an encyclopedia for all blogging related questions. You blog will become a headquarter for mindless blogging newbies in hope of some link love and traffic from the bigger blogs.
    The smaller blogs will worship your blog so much they’ll visit it daily just to see a picture of your lunch.
  2. A free pass to write about whatever the heck you want.
    Usually when blogs are very small they go through a transition, this transition happens when the blog owner has so many ideas he wants to write about many different things in his blog, when truly his blog focuses on just one thing that is completely unrelated to what he wants to write about. Usually when the blog owner is forced to not write about something he wants he’ll start to ignore the blog and eventually he’ll leave it for dead.

    On the other hand, When your blog is big you get to write about anything! Not just because people will admire what you have to say but because Google and the other search engines will index your content as soon as you post it and possibly even place it in the first page of their search results so you’ll not only have happy readers but you’ll also end up getting a lot of search engine traffic as well.

  3. Viral blog bitching.
    Once your blog gets so big that you get bored from reading all the suck up comments you’ll start to notice a few haters popping up. These haters were made by god to do just one thing, and that is hate. They’ll hate on everything you have to say and everything you post. They’ll hate so much that they often even write posts bashing your posts and bashing your blog.

    The best thing about these blog bitching haters is that they not only give you free advertising, but they also give you free backlinks! I don’t care what you call me, as long as you give me a link and it’s dofollow you might as well say I’m a pathetic blogger with the writing skills of a 6 year old.

    If you haven’t noticed, John Chow gets almost a guaranteed daily link from at least one blog hater. Maybe the hater is hating about a review he just posted or maybe the hater is bitching about John chow making more money than him, but you can be sure of one thing you won’t ever see John bitching about that free backlink he gets. :twisted:

  4. Clones!
    A great thing about being a popular blogger is that you’ll start to see clone blogs appear out of nowhere.

    You’ll see people making fan sites about you and even buying domains with spelling mistakes in them with the small hope that they’ll get some traffic from some guy with chubby fingers that can’t spell a domain properly to save his life.

    These people are just looking for one thing, and that is to make a quick buck off the popular blogger’s name. Most of these clones sites are just sad attempts to recreate the blog of a popular blogger. In the worst and most peculiar cases you’ll see that the layouts of these sites could have been made to look better if they were created by a blind 3 year old kid with Paint.

    Its a good list – oh to have clones and haters!
    That being said, I do hate John Chow – but I would never dream of putting a link to him from my blog – that’s what the Google ads are for … I never saw the draw.
    Anyway, cheers – and THIS BLOG SUCKS!
    Oh wait, I’m just kidding.

    How many domains do you guys own? I am around 30-40 domains now and feel good about it. Some people dedicate their effort around 1-2 websites but i like to try several different niches and try to find a niche with lots of money in and make a profitable site. To be able to do that I have to try, creating new domains and sites in different niches. Some does good and some fail, but i like it.

    Many people tell me to just put me effort in a few but i don’t think thats my cup of tea.
