When it comes to blogging everyone has a piece of mind that they want to share. If you are blogging to make your living, you should get the right help from right people. There are probably thousands of blogging blogs.  Here is my top ten blogging blogs.

1. Daily Blog Tips

This is probably one of the best resource that a newbie blogger could have.  If you are trying to start off your blog in the right way, this is a blog that you must follow.  Author of this blog is Danial Scocco. Make sure you check out his popular posts. They are just full of good information. He also takes questions from his visitors and blogs about it.  One of the musts.

2. ProBlogger

One of the famous blogger on the web.  Darren Rawse, author of Problogger, posts on variety of different topics. His posts on monetizing your blog is very useful. You will find the right tools in monetizing your blog. He also lets a lot of other bloggers to guest post on his blog. He covers pretty much every aspect of blogging and you will want to his ideas in practice.

3. Copy Blogger

This is a place where you can see different perspectives of blogging.  Their authors make good observations and you will feel like you are in the place.  There are things that you will certainly put them in practice.  Copyblogger is also a great example of a succesfull weblog. From design to content, Brian Clark has put up a great blog.

There is a question that I need to find an answer for. It’s about blogging and trying to monetize your blog by using adsense and adsense like ad programs. Here is a little info for those who don’t know what adsense is.

It’s an advertising program that allows you to put relevant ads on your website or your blog. Adsense is one of the leading advertising solutions on the web. It has templates, so you can choose the one that fits best to your site. You can change colors, how they appear and etc. So if a visitor clicks on Google Ads on your web site, you get money. That’s pretty much how it works.

A lot of people blog for living. They have a web site which they have their blogs on and publish materials for others. With the help of advertising programs like adsense, they make can make quite the money. There are hundreds of examples. Here is two of them, problogger.com and dailyblogtips.com. They are weblogs about blogging. They talk about how you can improve your blog, how you can get more visitors and how you can make living out of blogging.

How can blogs like those two benefit much from adsense or adsense-like programs?

I have this question because recently I saw google ads on dailyblogtips.com. The thing is that the audience of blogs like these. They are all web-masters or publishers who know what adsense is and if it was to evaluate who clicks on ads most, these two titles would be at the bottom of that list.

For instance, dailyblogtips has over 12 thousand subscribers. Web site has been around almost two years, half of the subscribers is at least 3 month old. If those subscribers read at least couple of posts at dailyblogtips, they know that ads are not part of the site and they are just ads. Which means that you won’t be getting any accidental clicks from those people.

Go ahead and check dailyblogtips google ads. Daniel Scocco writes very good articles on blogging and some other web related topics. If you check his popular blogging posts, you can only see ads like “Need to create a blog?”, “Monetize your blog” and second one has the link to Google AdSense. At least half of those subscribers will not click on those because it does nothing to them.

On the other hand, how many new visitors —that are not experienced in blogging— is DailyBlogTips getting?  Because those are the people who will mostly likely to click on those ads. Is it more than six thousand?  So is it good to risk those clicks?

Unfortunately, Google doesn’t provide very interesting links that might attract visitors on these kind of blogs or you can say that AdSense works very good in terms of relevance that the link names are almost the same with the blog post name you are browsing.

This is going to sound cliche but It’s important to keep what you already have. In this case, you have got thousands of possible clicks that you can make good cash out of it. So it’s better trying to benefit from what you already have. New visitors will always find you as long as you write good content and promote it in a proper way.

I was doing a research on what kind of blog posts get the most comments and I found this article at Kottke. I did little bit more research and tried to find the most commented blog posts in Blogosphere.  Here is a top 10, if you have a post that you think it should be in top 10, go ahead and put the link in your comment. I’ll try to keep this post updated.

There are millions of blogs out there. This is not an accurate list of posts that have the most comments.

I was going to mention Beppe Grillo too. He’s a veritable single-person mass medium. When we released retrievr, a link on Beppe Grillo’s weblog resulted in _way_ more traffic than Digg’s front page, del.icio.us/popular &c.
