I'm not putting you down or picking a fight over your opinion ... you are certainly entitled to it ... but just a throw away insult like that begs some explanation, or so I opine. My opinion is that Problogger _is_ something to shout about for the obvious reasons ... stats, worthwhile content. Stability ... reports on new trends but no wild "wood swings" like "follow me", "don't follow me" flip-flops. Very motivational content ... look at the current 31 day article series ... I'd defy anyone to read and follow the suggestions there and not increase income ... and lastly Darren's lack of arrogance and unfailing willingness to help. That's my two cents. Your viewpoint, sir? Yeah kind of funny I'd feel called upon to defend Darren … as if he needed it from me, kher Cheng Guan

If there is anything called authority in the blogsphere - then Darren is sure among one of those who will be in the top.He writes in simple easy to understand language - that's a good thing right? It means he understands his readers well and is trying his best to connect to them. I've thoroughly enjoyed Problogger articles and at the same time is jealous because every keyword i research on - problogger has a top SERP result! Darren sure is an inspiration to millions of bloggers too. Though many don't admit it - they copy him at one point or another. I encourage you to read Darrens articles if you are serious about blogging. Kher – Your comment about problogger is not true.

I don't know what was said about Darren's readers before but yes they do compliment him, and thats because they admire him for his competency and decency! of course you can collect bits of material here and there, but problogger is all encompassing! And the humbleness he displays despite 30,000 subscribers, not putting anyone else down... so what seems to be the problem shouting about it? :) Kevin… I don't know what was said about Darren's readers before but yes they do compliment him, and thats because they admire him for his competency and decency! of course you can collect bits of material here and there, but problogger is all encompassing!

Pro Blogger has been online for 3 years and he has posted between 3 and 4 thousand articles. If the authority of a genre with 30,000 subscribers isn't worth shouting about then what is? I'm curious :):) Buxr - Although problogger has 'making money' in the title tag, I do not think that problogger is or ever has been solely a making money online blog. The site has covered every blogging related topic possible over the last few years. Also, I don't think that Darren needs to make himself stand out from the crowd :) kher Cheng Guan – I disagree about your comment on ProBlogger.

The home page is much more like a resource page than a blog. It's really an interesting move on Darren's part to differentiate himself from all the other money making blogs.

Very informative and he writes with a pleasant tone and non-confrontational or even at times, non-commital!Just read some of his readers' comments and you have a better idea. A lot of casual replies and compliments. Darren’s blog is nothing to shout about, most of his content is no different from some of the other meta-bloggers, like Blogging Tips.

Seriously - I'm very sorry for not replying to your email. I'm trying to find it now but I fear that it may have disappeared into the vortex that is my 5000 unanswered emails from the last few months - I get around 3500 a week at present so it is pretty crazy. What I have done though is subscribe to your RSS feed - so now I'll at least be reading your content daily (or every second day on weeks like this!). Mani - yes, Kev does pay well.
