Hi everyone, good to see a whole lot of new readers on the site. I am hitting my weekly targets easily, and showing that fantastic mathematical trend, EXPONENTIAL GROWTH.

Darren over at problogger explains it pretty clearly in this weeks video post, and I can recommend you check it out.

Over the weekend while planting my new veggie patch I had chance to ponder what the online blogosphere needs. Please feel free to correct me or add your own twist to what I have written below. These are the things that I want to see happen

* More blogs that make money, but are not about blogs making money

* Quality content that shares the owners personal views on subject, not just what everyone else is saying. That’s the whole point of social media, wouldn’t you think?

* More people commenting on each others blogs, not just the big blogs but the smaller sites in the blog community. I know it’s tough but everyone needs encouragement.

* Injection of more advertising dollars, from areas other then just adsense and affiliates. People won’t click the same ads over and over again. Fresh advertising = more clicks.

* More blogers as content producers, not just content commentators. We need more experts, and less reporters.

What we need is to make the blogosphere sustainable for future generations, not just a flash in the pan that burns up all of the dollars available. The last thing we need is for advertisers to get sick of it and start withdrawing funds and allocating them somewhere else.

Oh yeah, and before anyone gets too smart, I know that one thing we don’t need is more top 5 lists

Keep it real and positive, till next time.
