That means those blogs are popular and being read by lots of people. If they write about the food, ambiance, service, in restaurants they're expressing personal opinions, not defaming the place.
This, my friend, is a huge fallacy, at least from my experience. My personal blog, which was not updated for months at a time, has a consistent unique visits of 3,000 a month, with a huge bounce rate improvement (from 80% down to 20%). Same goes with a niche site of mine, which I have not updated for the last 6 months to a year, earning me about USD50 a month through AS, practically paying for itself and hosting. More than half of my traffic are organic. You should be reading more of Grizzly's blog if you're seriously looking to make money from blogging.
Not planning Blogging needs time. ... that's my biggest. I have too many now and can't keep up with them all, but don't want any of them dying either. Takes all my spare time to keep 'em going
i have to disagree with the blogging for money... i mean come on... some people have sites that when they do good posts and generate traffic then they get paid... hence google ads or products to sell. DUH!
