Every blog I can think of has a focus or topic of interest that their readers are interested in. It is hard to market a voice, there is no way to tag your distinction in Technorati or list it in Google. With that said I believe that when a blog becomes successful it becomes more about the bloggers voice then the topic. At a certain level of success I think a Tech Blogger could start talking about the new bathroom fixtures because everyone has come to hear him/her not the topic. Always be yourself when writing and being different or distinctive is often an advantage on the competition, but you have to focus on something real a topic and something that is marketable to get the initial traffic. Best Wishes, Patric Any Other thoughts on this? Jay,

For example, its easy (just for the sake of arguement here) to be a successful niche blogger; say a site about portable electronics. But do you think its more difficult to create a successful blog revolving around a voice, the blogger himself? A blog that has a distinctive character?
