There is no surefire way to pick a profitable niche. Even professional bloggers admit that they sometimes choose a niche that doesn't get enough traffic or make enough money to make it worthwhile. So don't worry if the first blog you start flops. Just try again. Perseverance is the key to success.
Here are 7 simple steps to choosing a niche that is right for you:
1. Make A List Of Your Passions
Write down all the things you are passionate about. If you aren't passionate about the topic you write about, it will show! Passion is one of the biggest keys to keeping people interested in your blog (yourself included). This is the most important step in choosing a niche. If you don't follow any of the other steps in this post, make sure you write about something you are passionate about.
Here is an example of what your list of passions might look like:
1. Basketball
2. Playing Video Games
3. Officiating Tennis Matches
4. Internet Marketing
5. American Idol
6. Reality TV
7. Being a Good Parent
8. Model Rocketry
9. UFOs
10. Bird watching
11. Carpentry
12. Ridding the world of Ants
13. ...
2. Make A List Of Things You Do Well
Write down all the things you do well. It is advisable to ask other people for input on this. Find out what other people think you are good at. They might mention things you haven't thought of. You might also show the final list to your friends and family to get further input on the list.
An example list of things you do well might look like this:
1. Basketball
2. Officiating Tennis Matches
3. Cooking
4. Teaching
5. Running Marathons
6. Open Heart Surgery
7. Being a Good Parent
8. Model Rocketry
9. Calculus
10. Bird watching
11. Sailing
12. ...
3. Merge The First Two Lists
Take the lists you made in steps 1 and 2. Write down all the things that are in both list 1 and list 2. This will give you a good idea of things you can blog about as an expert. However, you don't have to be an expert to blog about something. If you are really passionate about something, but aren't good at it or are just learning about it, you can still blog about that topic from the perspective of someone trying to improve in that area.
For Example, if we merge the example lists from step 1 and step 2 the list would look like this:
1. Basketball
2. Officiating Tennis Matches
3. Being a Good Parent
4. Model Rocketry
5. Bird watching
...
4. Choose Your Favorite 3-5 Niches
Out of the list you compiled from step 3 (above), which ones are you MOST interested in blogging about? It doesn't matter if other people write about it. It doesn't matter if it's extremley competitive. Just write down the top 3-5 things that YOU want to blog about. It's okay if you are down to 1 niche at this point, but 3-5 would be better.
NOTE: At this point you have at least one niche you could start writing about. However, if you want to make money from your blog, you need to do more research.
From our example, let's say that you would want to blog about the following three things from your merged list:
1. Basketball
2. Being a Good Parent
3. Bird watching
5. Determine The Traffic Potential
There are a lot of ways to do keyword research and determine the traffic potential for a niche. To simplify things, you aren't going to worry about competition, you are only going to concern yourself with demand.
Go the Overture Search Term Suggestion Tool (which seems to be working again). Type in the primary keyword(s) for the niches you selected in step 4. Then you will come up with a list of keyword phrases and their search numbers for last month on Yahoo owned Search Engines.
Note: If Overture doesn't work, try the free wordtracker keyword tool.
In my opinion, you really want to see more than 10,000 searches a month on Overture for the main keyword, otherwise it's going to be really hard to get decent traffic to your blog.
Let's go back to the example and turn your list into a primary keyword list, with a list of the Search Engine traffic. It would now look like this:
1. Basketball - 37845
2. Parenting - 33457
3. Bird watching - 5500
At this point, you might think that bird watching was out of the picture, but what if you wanted to write about birds, in general? What if you wanted to write about your favorite bird, the hummingbird (which had 17354 searches last month)? It is still possible to get a lot of traffic to a bird watching blog, but for the purpose of this post I am just covering a quick and easy method to analyze the potential traffic. You can expand your traffic analysis by looking at other related keywords if you like.
6. Determine The Blog's Money Making Potential
Common sense might suggest to you that there are products to be sold to people looking for each of the things in our example, but is there a way to be sure?
Here is a quick and easy method you can use to help determine a blog's money making potential. Go to Google or Yahoo and do a search for your primary keywords. The more advertisers you see paying for sponsored results (Pay Per Click ads) the better. If you don't see anyone bidding on those keywords then it may be more difficult to monetize your blog but not necessarily impossible.
The sponsored results are the ads that show on Google and Yahoo at the very top and the right hand side of the Search Engine results, under the title "Sponsored Links" on Google and "Sponsor Results" on Yahoo.
So, for our example, I went to Yahoo and did searches for each keyword and wrote down the number of ads I saw:
1. Basketball - 10
2. Parenting - 10
3. Bird watching - 10
From our quick test, it looks like all three niches are capable of being monetized. Sometimes you will type in a word, and there won't be any sponsored results. For instance, go over to Yahoo or Google and type in "underwater basket weaving". When I tried it, there were no paid ads on either Search Engine. That is probably a good sign that there isn't much money to be made in the underwater basket weaving market.
7. Make Sure You Have Time For The Niche
Is the topic so broad that you just don't have time to blog about it yourself? For instance, if you choose basketball as your niche, do you really have enough time to cover ALL basketball news on your blog? If not, then you either need to:
A. Start a group blog with enough other people to cover the topic.
B. Narrow the focus of your blog. In our example, maybe basketball is too broad for you to cover. If so, you might choose to cover your favorite basketball team or write about funny basketball moments, etc.
There you have it, 7 steps to choosing a niche for your blog.

How You Can Make Blogging And Article Marketing A Winning Team? by Juhani Tontti
Blogging is one form of the commercial activities, it is not a private diary. The idea of the blogging is to communicate to the big amount of the targeted people. And to reach business targets.
So a business blogging has actually no difference compared with the website and the blog needs also the same promotional actions to become successful.
The business tool aspect sets a requirement, that your blog must have contacts, or links, with other related blogs or websites in the Internet. That is a must.
If you compare the links with the business relationships, you understand easily their importance. They simply bring business to the blog.
The article marketing builds a lot of related contacts, which presells the idea of the blog. So when a visitor enters the blog, he is enthusiastic and waiting for your story.
On the top of this, the article marketing builds credibility or brand image, which has a strong impact on your internet home business during the long term.
The great thing about blogging is that when you ping your blog after written a new post, tens of directories get the information about it and thanks to RSS feed thousands of other bloggers will be informed. Think about the quickness!
While blogging, use optimized text, i.e. write with the related keywords. This makes it possible to rank high in the search engines. Your article marketing must use the same main keyword in the Author Box.
This is the anchor text between your blogging and the article and a sign to the search engines, that these links will raise your blog high in the search engine ranking, when the article distribution has distributed them into thousands of article directories and websites.
The idea of the article marketing is to write unique, useful articles, which will help the reader to learn more about your niche or to get enthusiastic to buy something from your blog. So you want to influence on the behaviour of the reader and get traffic building backlinks.
The article marketing as a blog traffic builder is fantastic because it will bring both short and long term targeted traffic, build backlinks and the brand. The winning duo, blogging and article marketing can be used with Blogger and WordPress.
One thing is important in blogging. The blogvisitors love the fresh and useful content. The usefulness is the greatest reason why they come cack and bookmark your blog. So I recommend a daily blogging or at least three times per week. And, please use always a unique content! Otherwise the search engines will penalize you.

SAY NO TO SLOPPY SERVICE AND GOODS IN KENYA
I came across this blog and thought it a nice initiative.
My dear readers, after much thought and contemplation after getting sloppy service and mediocre goods from assorted sellers, some of whom claim to be the best of the pack, i realised that we need to come out and literally turn the tide against this charlatans. Otherwise how does one explain a lack of a consumer agency to fight arbitrary price rises, sloppy or non existant customer service?
In this category dear readers are shops, dukas, grocers, supermarkets, government agencies, politicians and anyone and everybody who is tasked by virtue of being in business, to serve the public but deals with them , us, like we are scum yet we pay fro the services and goods they are dealing with.
This is the place to rise against them, slowly but surely. For i have a dream that we are going to ensure that we only get the best from them otherwise they close shop.
And this is how you are going to do it easily:
1. Create a comment to this post. 2. Let the subject/topic/title be the company/individual but the company name is much better in this case. 3. Post the complaint - (get your facts right about the person/company/product/attendant and any other relevant info.) 4. Be as brief, detailed and to the point as possible. 5. If you have the contacts of the culprit, post them as well as how they can get in touch with you so that we can try to get in touch with them and get their attention to your complaint. 6. If you have evidence, photos, documents, just send them over to our mail address: complaintome at gmail dot com 7. The rest, you leave to us.
With time, its my dream that we can grow to a formidable website that will fight for the consumer interest and ensure that we get the best.
In any case, i believe that we sincerely deserve it for we aren't on a witch-hunt mission.

Why Trackbacks are Useful For Blogs
If not, that's alright, as most people don't quite understand how trackbacks work and why they are useful for a blog. In this newsletter, we're going to go over trackbacks--what they are, how they work, why they are important to blog traffic, and how to get more trackbacks. After you've read this, you'll know practically everything there is to know about trackbacks.
What are trackbacks? The concept of trackbacks is a bit hard to explain. So we'll use an example to explain it in the best way possible.
OK, say you see a great blog post on another person's blog and want to link to it on your blog. You could do this the old-fashioned way by manually putting a link on your site to that blog. However, if you do it this way, the person whose blog post you are linking to won't know that you are linking to them unless you tell them.
This is where trackbacks come in. A trackback is a program which will notify the owner of a blog when one of their posts has been linked to at another blog.
How do they work? A blog that has a trackback system set up will have a link at the bottom of every blog post. This link will say something like "Blog This!" Anyone who clicks the link can then put a link to that blog post on their site. The person who posted the original blog will then be notified via email that their blog posting has been linked to. Additionally, the link that was clicked("Blog This!") will change to "Trackbacks". From that point forward, the "Trackbacks" link will keep track of how many people have chosen to blog about that particular post. So after the first trackback, it will say "Trackbacks: 1". The number of trackbacks recorded will be updated as they occur.
Why are trackbacks important to blog traffic? The easy answer is that trackbacks are important because they increase awareness of your blog. Trackbacks also make a blog seem more credible. After all, people have to think your posts are good enough to be trackbacked.
Anytime a person makes a trackback on your blog, they make a post on their own blog about your blog. This, in turn, lets their readers know about your blog. Chances are, their readers will want to visit your blog to see what the big deal is. If they see something on your blog that they like, they'll keep coming back for more, which means you'll have a whole new fanbase of readers. That means more traffic for your blog.
Can you imagine what would happen if 5 different bloggers trackbacked a post on your blog? Depending on how popular their blog is, that's potentially as much as hundreds of new readers for your blog! Pretty incredible, right?
Also, every trackback made, assuming it is a legitimate one (and some trackbacks are spam, especially if they are there only to link to another site) adds credibility to your blog. Blogs with high amounts of trackbacks look credible because lots of people like the posts enough to trackback them.
How can I increase the number of trackbacks I get? The easiest and best way to increase trackbacks is to frequently post. If you post frequently (2-3 times a week), people will have quite a few posts that they can trackback. However, it is important to make sure that your posts are of a good quality. Quality blog posts are those that people can relate to and are easy to read. If you post a long boring rant, people probably won't want to trackback that. But if you post a decent sized rant that is entertaining (and that people are likely to agree with), you'll get trackbacked.
The number of trackbacks you get is totally dependent on the number of visitors your blog receives and how frequently you are able to make quality posts. If you've got a good amount of visitors and write good blog posts, you'll get trackbacks.
Trackbacks are a wonderful thing for every blog. You are able to know when your blog posting has been posted about at another blog, plus you potentially gain more visitors. It's a win-win situation for you!

What are trackbacks? The concept of trackbacks is a bit hard to explain. So we'll use an example to explain it in the best way possible.
OK, say you see a great blog post on another person's blog and want to link to it on your blog. You could do this the old-fashioned way by manually putting a link on your site to that blog. However, if you do it this way, the person whose blog post you are linking to won't know that you are linking to them unless you tell them.
