They have a category for almost every niche that exists. If they don't, follow @neenz or @guykawasaki on Twitter and ask them to create one. They'll use their network to help build that listing as well. You can also search for keywords in your niche and add the word blog to it. For instance I blog about how to make money online. So I'd type make money online + blog You should easily find something by doing that. First, take a look at Alltop. They have a category for almost every niche that exists.

At a traffic level of 10k a day it would only make about $400-600 a month. Since my objective was to make money online I left the programming blog as it was and moved my active blogging to the blog in my sig along with numerous niche sites. Since these sites combined make me between $3000-5000 a month, with OpTempo accounting for about $1000-1200 of that, I've been pretty happy with that choice. @Ashley – The thing is that within that niche the opportunity to expand in terms of earnings and traffic is limited.

You're right... some people can prevail without following what works, but it takes a lot of talent. I think the majority of people need to follow the guidelines to make it though. It at least helps.

You're absolutely right. Too many bloggers start with the intention of making money and don't pick a niche they know and love, don't brand themselves, interact with their readers, or put personality into it. I'm not saying everyone who follows your tips will be a success, or everyone who doesn't will fail, but it's a great starting point and guideline! Love this post! You’re absolutely right.

I mean, you could take that same blog and continually post and have 10,000 hits a day, instead! It's great to be satisfied where you are and to be able to just let it ride the rest of the way, but some people want to keep making it to the next level - so, for them, it's important to post regularly (although not necessarily on a really tight schedule). @Frank Carr – True, your programming blog may still get 1,000 hits a day thanks to high ranking in google but I think it’s important to also decide where you’re happy with stopping.

You're right in that it is needed for the new blogger who's trying to make a name for themselves in a crowded field and who has yet to discover how to get consistent search traffic to their blog. Bloggers who target search traffic properly and/or build a good brand don't need to knock themselves out posting on a tight schedule. Their traffic will remain the same, post or no post, because their information is valuable and well placed in Google search results and/or widely linked to by other bloggers. For example, my first blog on a programming topic hasn't been updated since 2007. It gets about 1000 unique visitors from Google every weekday because it is ranks between #1-#5 in Google for certain search terms. Good useful content and good SEO means good traffic, new posts or no new posts. Here’s an interesting thing about consistent posting frequency.
