I'm with you 100% on this one. I don't think there is anything wrong with making a living out of blogging, but only when your number one focus is the reader!

So many people looking to start a blog, do so in the hopes that they can make mega bucks overnight. This is obviously wrong. The sad part is I feel that the Super-Bloggers have gotten lost too. They seem to have forgotten that the same people they continue to abuse with their bombardments of affiliate links and stupid softwares... are the very people that made them who they are today. They, like any other leader, should start taking note and do something about the degenerate based community they are creating. I've been catching some flack myself as of late, because I refuse to put "The Piss Biscuit" into a niche. The real deal is that picking a niche and trying to compete, is simply silly. Just let it be and it will find it's own way. Bloggers should really try and get back into the groove of what made blogging so popular... and that's real, genuine, ORGANIC content. Good, bad, or ugly, I'd rather read someones honest true blue opinion than some BS fabricated just make their readers happy... or worse, earn another two dollars for "the next best idea" post. Visitors come and go. Your online reputation is there forever and people will remember you by it. Great post... Oh, and absolutely. (In regard to your e-mail) @ John P: Perfect!
