I recently started a blog to track my money making adventures online. I’m also writing articles to help other people and to share the knowledge I find along the way.

I find this great fun and have met a lot of friendly people.

I recommend trying it to everyone!

Mike’s comments are certainly appropriate. You wouldn’t want to “give away” the store .. but I think you can be honest (essential) and open (also essential) without divulging too much. Tyler’s a good example, he talked a lot about Publisher’s Spot before it was released without divulging too much … I’m sure he has other irons in the fire for the future as well … it’s just a matter of balance.

And for the doubting Thomases about SEO, type my made up word “statisframmer” into Google less than 24 hours after this post came out … of course it’s a simplistic example, but it proves Google indexes blogs and indexes them fast.

The likes of John Chow sit on the fence a lot of the time, you’ll never hear him slating anyone publicly. But you get the impression Tyler will take the knife out if he wants to.

Blogs are diaries. Diaries are about real lives with real people. The more personal a blog is, the more entertaining it is imo.

I could set up a blog, but it would be rather boring since I wouldnt want to divulge what sites I run.

To me a blog is successful because of the brutal honesty factor… like Tyler’s blog. He says how much he makes and what sites are his profitable onse.

What are people’s thoughts on this?

Another great post!
