About this trail:
I agree with the idea of timing, good content and thinking outside of the box. The problem with making such generic blog titles strikes me that you will get loads of untargeted traffic. Niche blogs don’t handle this well. On the one hand you can explore a new audience, on the other hand you can hurt your brand by making over the top statements and then don’t really back them up in your article.
Every month I try out a few blogs based on recommendation. I try them out in Google reader. Blogs that lure me in too often and don’t deliver on their promise are axed in a matter of weeks.
From a broader point of view, through various client statistics over the year, I noticed that quality content is the crux in keeping readers and attracting links that bring you a targeted audience. Achieving a large number of visitors that never come back seems pointless and most of the time doesn’t lead to a rise in subscriptions when dealing with niche markets (although it works a treat for mass markets like entertainment or travel).
Niche markets, in my experience, benefit most from what Seth Godin calls ‘The Drip’.
