I see so many new bloggers and many newly aware bloggers are being feeling a lack of purpose. Don’t compare yourselves to the experts hunting a niche and being taught to be lost followers. I am beginning to hate the word niche.
Many mega-blogs with 20,000+ subscribers are boring and there are too many. And I am not talking about Andy Beard’s Niche Marketing blog Andy is a nice guy who converses with his readers and has personality. I have had a lot of feedback from newbies everywhere as they let me know that my advice was meaningful and heartfelt. It’s too bad for blogs who ignore the little people out here.
New bloggers are a “investment” link. Sure they maybe unranked newbies, but if 40 unranked newbies I link to and inspire to grow - and become friends, they may be the ignored superstars you so greedily missed out on. While so many seek to be associated with the big blogs like envious sheep, I ignore most of them and seek where the real power is; the mass public of novices.
If we all follow the experts advice, there will remain a small group of leaders and a massive group of followers. Why do we let a small percentage of people run things? Turn around! The millions of people who could easily, with team work, drop that group with a mouse click and take over!
Whats more important? Making cash and reading 50,000 ways to do it, or, making integrity, friendliness and peace the most desired attribute to all humans. If money is more important than intelligent human values to you, you need to do some deep soul searching.
My good friend Jeanchia from A Great Pleasure hit the Technorati top 10k today! She also made her first $20.00 from payperpost. She is a fine example of what I always talk about. We are part of a new breed of peronal, busines, tech tips or whatever all mixed up into a multi-genre blogger. She will continue success and get there because of being a good, caring person. Wow, imagine that. If you see my point, then you must know it is the most important single idea to blog about and help perpetuate. This is of a higher, more meaningful purpose than all others combined.
Authority: 393
Rank: 9,642 
A Great Pleasure
a blog of my own knowledges & thoughts
I love her catch phrase!!!!! It’s her blog and she is gaining success without ever listening to any expert! Go Jean!
My new friends of the multi purpose hybrid blog:
NAFASG - United And Dedicated Behind You

They dedicated a post, Blogging Etiquettes to me and my best friends today! The post is an example of what big blogs should doing. NAFASG has made real friends and it’s freaking cool to see it happen! Their blog is constantly evolving, and the direction they’re headed is beautiful. Thanks Nafa!!!
I was awarded this from Mike & Tish of BlogsWeLuv.com
Thank you very much!!!
My friend Forumer from Feedget wrote this, The Truth About Blogger which I never thanked him enough for. He sees the light! Not my light, he see THE light. Thank you very much! It means a lot to me!!
I need help, and I’m not here to help myself. I am here to help those who need help! I will gladly pay back twice any links I get to this post. This message needs to resonate loudly. A special thanks to these folks for being friends:
and of course Brown Baron, Jesse the Cat and AmberVinci
I am so busy I haven’t seen all my friends lately. I feel sad about it but I never forget.
I will see you all
Steve Olsen wrote a post that really effected me. It was the perfect post for me to read at just the right moment. Go read it and read the comments. What is discussed is of the utmost importance. A great article. It is: Is Morality Relative?
My friend Amber from the blog Random Magus wrote a post called Judge Not? That I found very thought provoking. Check it out!
My friends at Project Heavy Traffic have cause to celebrate! They were also nice enough to refer to this post. Thanks PHT! Read it here!
Here is a great resource:
SEO for WordPress - The Complete Guide
I learn the technical stuff about blogging from you Bobby - don’t know much about Technorati or ranking and stuff. For me my blog and my regular readers are so much more than I ever expected and it really gladdens my heart to have found people who care enough to stop and leave a piece of themselves on my blog!
Hi Amber, I am trying to bring human values and heart into the areas that have neither. It’s not even about the technical, the tips etc are a tactic I use to disarm the coldness and condescending mask our leaders and businesses display - so maybe they can feel, love and become better human beings. Also to show people who are good, like you, some things that will help more people come together and all meet in the middle somewhere. Thanks for coming by today! I will have a lot to read when I come by. See you soon
Great post! I agree with you 100% because I fall in the area in between newbie and experienced and I can only hope to get to the top 10k at Technorati. Suggestions are always welcome!
http://mag22-anythingandeverything.blogspot.com/
Magg22: Don’t let a number be a reason to blog. You can work towards that goal but let it fall beneath making friends and developing the person you are
Glad you like the award, Bobby! You definitely deserve it!
Tish, Thank you so much! You and Mike are helping by adding friendliness and goodwill to smart marketing. We all part of something very special, and you guys are helping shape our future. Do I hear role models? You are, and that’s very
cool
congrats on that award..how exciting it is!~….when we receive these awards!…good for u!!
Darlene: I have a lot to give out, bur I’m waiting for the right time. I am meeting so many new great people! Like you
Thank you 
You deserve that award, buddy. Glad you liked it
I agree with you as well about the whole niche thing. While I do believe having a niche you can solidly place your blog into can have some advantages, it’s also a bit overrated sometimes. I have a blog that most definitely does not have a niche and I’ll probably find myself in the Top 1k of Technorati sometime next month. You never know what I might post about next. I’m a pretty random guy and people actually seem to enjoy that. I’d really have a hard time conforming to any certain niche. It’s just not my style =)
Mike:Thanks! The pioneers of the niche like Andy have developed a sophisticated, intuitive science. But now there are so many “experts” saying the word, new people arent ready yet. You have a nicheless niche! If a 1000 blogs operate on clockwork, that only guarantees your market. Wherever the crowd goes an opposite vacancy is created. You can’t have light without dark! We all offer our own way, but being genuinely passionate with it will make you liked more and more. The few big bloggers who have taken the time for me have gained my loyalty! Andy, Dosh Dosh, Kassper and some others have talked to me, that makes them much cooler in my book! You’re going to be a legend Mike. And you’ll be an ordinary legend - wow, what a great thing
Bobby, congrates for yet another award from Mike & Tish to you. “I LOVE YOUR BLOG” too
Congrates to Jean for making it there. I have a lesser friend below to accompany me now but who knows…. I am meeting you guys very soon… hopefully next month cos I am 15K+ now… happy for me?
Janice: I missed this! You are so sweet! I love your blog too
I know for a fact I gain a lot less readers and possibly links by not aiming for new bloggers, but my primary target for my blog was to demonstrate to some extent authority in the subjects I discuss.
When I started there wasn’t really that many blogs out there that covered the more technical aspects, and a lot of the blogs you describe that didn’t offer convincing opinion.
Andy: Your blog has a real niche and you definetly are an authority. My evolving niche is to bridge unsure newbies and more advanced blogs so the two will join. Their are many experts, some have endless content, some have less but make the experience more enjoyable. I hate to hear a green pea newbie get upset trying to find a niche. We all are honing our niche. The niche is more of a process and concept than a final perfect “this is it” I’m more of a philosopher and psychological coach. I cant show the technical, but show how to decide for yourself and believe in yourself as a person - then blogging challenges are fun not scary. I used your do follow instructions yesterday! all the things you show, can be used for things other than money. The applications are endless. Any newbies thirsty for detail, I will send to you
Bobby, you are a good person. You make everyone think for the best reasons. You are my hero
You’re going to be remembered,don’t ever stop and your dreams will come true 
Amber: Thank you, I really needed that. You are a total sweetheart :smile::smile::smile:
Hi Bobby…
So thoughtful of u to mention abt us in your latest post here. Our blog would not be where it is today if it wasn’t for all the love and support from amazing blogger friends like u. It has been a pleasure knowing u and many other great people here in the blogosphere. We will continue to give more informative articles in our blog, and will always stay connected to our beloved friends here, including u.
Nafa: This is what it’s all about. If we all spread this goodwill, it will grow and flourish. Thank you Nafa! You help make the web better everyday
Every comment, every link, is a potential bridge between two people, two countries, and two souls. No matter where you are in the world, or what your culture is, a single link or comment can seal a friendship.
Blogging is my way of finding my lost relatives, that’s you guys. Anything after that is gravy.
Thanks Bobby, I loved this post.
Brown Baron: This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. This comment is perfect. I will have to claim it best comment I have ever read. Thank you
Hola Bobby Wobby!
Congrats on the lovely award from Mike and Tish!

Mariuca: I loved all the comments. BB’s comment was very poetic and soulful, I am glad to see it. Thanks Marzie, have a great day
I’m glad I (recently) found your blog. Honestly, I’m not into tech blogs, but need a boost on tech awareness, and yours has the right balance of tech, and well, heart ! Thx Bobby.
BTW, (& off the subject) can you explain to me how the whole trackback thingy works? I’m so not a techie, I googled it but I still don’t get it…
Sassy:Thank You! If You wan to learn how to do a trackback, go to my post
http://revellian.com/2007/08/09/newbie-blogging-crucial-choices-and-trackbacks-2/
Go watch the video I refer to. I often add new trackbacks to older posts as I find related articles while surfing. If you cannot successfully do a trackback let me know. You link to the permalink of a post. Then get that post’s trackback url.
paste it into the trackback textbox in your posts text editor and publish. The video shows every step and is extremely well done. The author uses very good blogging etiquette also which is what makes it the best I’ve seen
Congrats, Bobby! Mike & Tish hv definitely pick the right person! I am so so grateful to know you when i first started blogging. It’s you who teach me about technorati ranking and other important stuff about blogging. I am falling all over with you again! Thank you so much for all you have done for me. You are friendly, generous, helpful, handsome guy. What else could i ask for in you? And thank you for the mention about me, and my ladies, nafa & MT! Love u, love u, love u!!!
Jean: Thank you very much! You are such a good person, I want people to realize that these qualities are what is missing in many blogs and many lives. Thanks for your compliments, you have me smiling so big!!! You be strong, confident and continue on your path. You are doing everything just right. I have a lot of faith in you
Thanks for the compliment! This post makes me proud to be a blogger.
Brown Baron: You Deserve it. Your comment is true wisdom. Unbelievably, there are people that write blogs against what you are saying. Those people need to find some good friends like you
Good and interesting post
Pifflan: Thank you! It’s nice to meet you also
I feel like I was the straw in the newbie niche camel’s back! I was happy to receive your advice and I’ll take my time and let the niche find me.
In the meantime I am having so much fun discovering things in other’s blogs; some I click on right from these comments. I especially loved Jean’s, her site is like going to a party!
Menopauseprincess: Thanks! Just continue on exploring and have fun making friends. This is how blogging is bring our entire world together in a way unlike any other. I am glad you found Jean, she is definetly worth knowing
Great blog…and just from curiosity, how did you find little me?
Pifflan: Thank you! I am not sure right now, but I will find out which method I used so that you can do the same thing. I’ll let you know soon
You really are such a caring person Bobby - and one who is amazingly tech savvy. I am totally envious
Thanks for taking the time to make it simple…
Random Magus:Hi Amber, Thank you! If you ever need help don’t hesitate to let me know. I live to for it. Have a great day
i added a linc to your site at the bottom of my page….yur site is very cool…a pro blogger for sure…i am impressed
Thanks for mentioning me! I’ll see you soon
Amber Vinci: You’re welcome! I cannot wait
Jean: Mine jumped from 10,700 up to 12,000 earlier. I wouldn’t worry too much, they have problems! You’re still close and it’ll come back. I cannot fave anyone on technorat because they said I can’t exceed 200 favourites. That’s funny because I have way over 300! I filed a help ticket with them about all this and am awaiting their response!
ok, hearing your thoughts makes me feel better. Thanks, BIG GUY!
anyway, i checked today and im in top 10k. but i dont think i’ll give it much care anymore, because like u said, sometimes they hv problems.
Jean: Yes they do! Just think, out of 55 million blogs, you are in the top 10,000
Hi Bobby, i can’t help but to marvel at this post again. You are great! I have shown my strong support again by refering to it in my post:
