Decision on my blogs - your opinion needed

Discussion in 'Blogging' started by satishtalim, May 25, 2007.

    Over the years I have been writing various blogs on Java, Ruby, Adsense, Chess... All these sites are PR6 and except for the Ruby (it's on my own domain) one, all are on Blogger. Recently, I have not been posting much on my blogs, except the Ruby one where I am quite regular. As such, I am planning to drop all of the other blogs and just keep the Ruby blog.

    I need your opinion on whether I -
    1. start blogging on all the various topics in one single blog; creating categories
    2. should buy separate domains for my other blogs and have separate blogs - but then I don't blog much now-a-days
    Really can't decide...

    You can always hire some bloggers to do the job for you ;)

    Multiple blogs are difficult to maintain.

    If you had concentrated on 1 topic and worked hard on it prolly it would have been better

    Ehm, if all the blogs are PR6 and have been around for a while, you will have a reasonable amount of traffic...and adsense income should be quite good too....

    in my opinion, having one blog with a list of categories, is good coz it's easy to maintain.

    PR6 Blogs? Sell links, and with the revenue pay writers.

    a PR6 link is easily worth $20 monthly.

    If they are all getting reasonable traffic, I would try to maintain them as separate blogs, since traffic can be monetized. Even if you blog once a week. They can also probably help each other out. I wouldn't mix the content if they are clearly different, since it drives the search engines crazy. I learned that while experimenting with Links.com

    Maybe turning it into one BIG blog might be good. But that would only be good if you posted about each topic often. If you only post about Ruby when you also have a Java category, it will be useless having that one big blog.
