Three rules:

1. Stand out
2. Promise and deliver content of interest
3. Market according to best practices

Do those things, and you will not be doomed to failure. Fail to do any of those three, and you will have a hard time getting traction.

I was writing this post late at night. I tried writing what you said like 3 times and it didn't come out right. Thanks for tying up my loose ends! @Greg - Interesting points and questions and again, I hope others take the opp to jump in! In re: "is my niche to broad..." Again, if you can successfully get the se traffic, you'll be in "ok" shape. But I think focusing more on your TARGET audience like you pointed out might yield better dividends. I mean, you should be able to do the SEO AND write to a certain audience right? In re: "Court's cell phone how to's..." I think he's writing to an audience and I'm sure he's getting the benefits of traffic and LINKS for traffic and PR and Alexa and the rest. Getting to be the "go to" for a particular subject has so many benefits it would take multiple posts to list them. @Everyton – HA HA. I was writing this post late at night.

I appreciate you taking your time to assess my situation. You've identified some really interesting points. My goal is definately to make money. I made $70.14 on my mortgage blog in July. $15.67 from Adsense; $8.97 from CJ; $26 from ClickBank and $19.50 from SponsoredReviews. I am pleased with that given the blog was only launched in June. Remember my goal is to make $1000 a month with it. Your comment about the posts being disjointed is true. So is my niche to broad? I wanted to create a blog about making money and saving money with real esate. Perhaps I should have a blog focused on homeowners and a blog focused on investors. I will give this serious thought. Is it important for a technical blog like Court's cell phone how to's to be read everyday, if people know about it and go there as a trusted source when they need the information it is likely to provide or they google for something and his site pops up as providing the answer?
