On the other hand I think entrepreneurs should focus more on going with the flow than on beign entirely rigid. Good niche research puts more money into our pockets, but everything I post is not dictated by the intrisnic value of my SEO title tag or prior keyword research. I believe, as with everything else, balance is the key. It’s a valid point about the potential limitation.

Always good to see another Sphinn regular pop by. Welcome. It's seems a timely topic.

Anyways, you raise some good points about fresh thoughts. That said, I find much SEO blogging to rehash stuff as well. It's like everyone feels they can write the 101 piece (onpage factors aka the "seo tips" article), and most feel comfortable doing the 201 (join social media and be remarkable so that you can do linkbait). The thing is that once you've read a couple of those, you get turned off. In fairness, I've done it myself. However, I try and break out of the box as well, with stuff like 'cloning expired sites' '3 new metrics to waste 30 more hours a week' 'link buying with n grams' etc. I used to read many more blogs than I do.

I guess the trick is to have a broad enough knowledge base to write intelligently in different niches... not an easy task. @ Tad - Thanks for the Google tip. It can be de-motivating at times to see the count fluctuate so randomly. @ Ann - Thanks for the feedback, and your link is definitely relevant :) I agree that blogging outside of your niche is a fantastic growth tactic.

The niche should only be your starting point. On a sidenote: Ignore the subscriber fluctuations, it's just a iGoogle bug. People do not unsubscribe and subscribe on a daily basis. I’m 200% with Ann.

Actually blogging outside your niche is another (not widely used or discussed) tactic to grow your business and brand.
