So far I have concentrated on writing about niche blogs that provide quality content and attempt to build a dedicated audience of readers who come back every day or week to read the latest blog article. In my opinion, this is the way everyone should blog. Internet is already full of crap that is not worth reading, and every day there are tens of thousands of new blogs that provide even more crap. Thus it becomes every day more and more difficult to find something that is really worth reading.
This is caused in part by brute force blogging. Brute force niche blogging is a method that is based on writing as many blogs as possible to tiny niches. The point is not to provide anything that is really worth reading or causes the casual reader to come back to the blog. The point is just to write enough content to have the blog up enough in the search results for the chosen keywords.
And when the blog finally gets visitors by Google, there is no point in continuing to write content for the blog more than what is absolutely necessary for keeping a decent page rank.
For brute force bloggers, the only thing that matters are AdSense revenues.
If there is too much informative and interesting content, the reader has no reason for clicking the ads. Because of this, brute force bloggers try to minimize the interesting content in order to maximise the ad clicks. The blogs are just considered websites that are made for AdSense, not for readers.
But to be honest, this is a very profitable practice when one tries to build a huge collection of low-maintenance web sites that provide the blogger with a small but steady revenue from AdSense.
I myself have several such miniblogs online, and the return for time invested is very good indeed. One just has to have an idea about what information people are searching for when they use Google. And if you write in any other language than English, you can probably just copy some profitable niche blog ideas that have been used by bloggers writing in English.
Try it, you might like it :-)
