    Hi,

    I already own a blog (www.jack40k.com) which is basically about random stuff and doesn't really focus on 1 set topic...

    Should I make this site dedicated to something so it's easier to find and more people are interested (such as hacking psp, palm, nintendo etc...)?

    The thing is, my friend has a blog and it's about almost exactly the same thing as mine and he has 70 readers+ :S!! www.blazed-up.com

    He also earns $300 US a month from his blog from google adsense....can anyone help me out here? Is it just me? just my blog? Because I have advertised and submitted my blog to many many search engines + directories and have quite a few back links....anyone help?

    LMAO! Jack! :D

    Hey, its Skribblez from PMW.

    I'd recommend focusing on a topic you're interested in, instead of blogging about random stuff. It's easier to get more traffic that way.

    And when you've focused on a specific topic, you get specific and related ads showing up on your adsense ads.

    More traffic + related/targeted ads + quality content = Good $$$

    I would advise on focusing on a niche rather than diversify your content..

    Yeah, niche is very important...if you want to diversify then you need to start a few separate blogs targeting those other things.

    It's been said a thousand times but it's worth repeating: blog about something you like and worry about the money aspect later.
