    The best blog topic is something that you're passionate about and something that will help you meet your blogging goals (whether they're to make money, market something else, network, educate, entertain, etc.). There's no cut and dry answer to this question.

    Even if someone gave you a list of the top ten niches for making money from Adsense (or something else), it would be worthless because:

    1. If you're not interested enough to keep it going, the blog will die quickly.

    2. Just because other people can make a lot of money with a niche, it doesn't mean that you will. And the opposite is also true. Business topics can pay really well. I've managed to monetize my sites in that area pretty well, but there are a lot of other business-oriented blogs making almost nothing (b/c the writer lacks authority, marketing ability, or a good monetization strategy). On the other hand, I've run indie music sites that made (and still make) very little (b/c I don't sink the same kind of effort into them anymore), while I know some of the owners of top sites in that niche who bring in a small fortune with the niche, even though PPC ads for it tend to be very very low.

    Love what you do, do it well, and the money will come.

    i agree the best blogs are written by people that have experience in or have researched the topic(s) that they are talking about.

    Simply write about something that you are genuinely interested in.

    I'll add to this. Whatever you're interested in, find blogs related to that topic. The blogs you really like, subscribe to their RSS feeds. Just absorb the information the writers put out for 2-4 weeks. Observe their style. Look to see if they are getting a lot of replies to their entries.

    Then, when you're ready, start your blog. Once you start your blog, go to the blogs you've been watching for a while. Start commenting on their posts. Put a link back to your blog. Make sure you are making quality contributions to the topic at hand, not just spamming the blog with your link. If you do this correctly, you'll get some visitors from the other blogs. In fact, the blog owner may even check out your blog. Before you know it, you may be trading links with each other.
