I've seen most blogs focusing on a few topics but not being too diverse. At the same time, some people like to engage in random rambling and these can be great if your consumers are allowed to comment on just anything. After all that is why twitter is successful. I think though for business relationships, sticking to one topic will allow better targeting of specific users.

My blog isn’t focused at all. I have too many interests and decided a while back that I simply didn’t want to have multiple blogs.

My compromise is this: I offer separate category feeds with easy to find links for subscribing. So if someone is interested in what I have to say about Macintosh computing, for example, he can subscribe to just that category. Ditto for blogging and flying and writing and — well, you get the idea.

I don’t blog for a living — and don’t ever expect to reach that level — but I do earn enough from blogging (primarily via AdSense) to cover all my monthly hosting fees. That’s okay with me.

i don’t quite agree since different people got different way of doing things. i’m a bit more like you when reading blog, i will go to the “niche” blog to read. but I know a lot of my friends just go to certain blog because they like that person, and wonder what he do next in “whatever” things.

People forget that a niche doesn’t just refer to a specific subject (like personal finance or SEO), but also specific demographics as well. So, let’s say you are a white suburbia stay-at-home mom in her early 20s that blogs about her life as a stay-at-home mom: I don’t think your niche is homemaking necessarily, but rather your niche includes other women that share most, if not all, of the same demographics. So, I guess what I am saying is that if your niche isn’t a subject, in my opinion it should be aimed at a very specific demographic.
