The other points are essential yeah, but sometimes if the content is there, quality ones, then mediocre design or poor number of subscribers, etc won't make a dent, maybe a little, but you get the point.

I've read some great posts on new blogs recently but their blog design was awful ie. full of advertisements and countless widgets. I agree with you, content is king. However, it doesn't matter how good your content is if there are a lot of factors sending your reader away :) John – I think design plays a bigger part than a lot of people realise.

When I say good layout I mean, it isn't easy for a normal visitor to stay away from browsing more topics on About. The content is very well highlighted. As you said, you come back for it's content (which is very well highlighted with the layout).

Poor layout? But then again, if a particular blog is rather messy or seems "busy", I'll still stay on to read or even come back again to check for its content. I don't give a hoot about its bad design. It's not my blog anyway. Same for About.com. I visit there for its content and not its design. It is too "clinical" for my liking and I find the Sponsored Links and ad quite obstrutive. What do mean by "messed up"? Poor layout?

For designers it may be a XHTML complaint sleek looking, clean coded standards based design, but for visitors it may be simply an easy to navigate, user friendly design. I think Darren and Chow both have excellent designs taking into consideration their user behavior. The designs are just right to deliver what the user needs and it makes them do just what the bloggers want them to..like subscribing to the feed or newsletter. Kumiko - You proved once again that you are unlike others. You find what others miss. ;) ( No that point was not a deliberate loophole :) ) Kher, Imagine you landed on about.com searching something on Google. If it had a messed up template, not highlighting its contents - would you stay long as you do now on it? Would you remember it the next time you are searching for something? I think most of us won't. (Hey I didn't say that about.com has the best design - it's scrap wrapped beautifully well.) Jennifer - I think you have a healthy subscriber number taking into consideration your audience. And Michael - That's a good point indeed.Thanks. Hi Marko – I think we have to rethink on what exactly is a "good design".

Eye-pleasing that's all. Normally we discover a new site thru' search engines, a link, its catchy title, interesting content or incisive comment found in other's blog. We don't actually see the design in the first place. Personally I feel a well-designed [uncluttered, sparse layout, etc] is just an added advantage. Eye-pleasing that's all.

I average around 50 subscribers, but consider that number high because I don't really attract the "computer" junkie types. Most of my readers probably don't know what RSS is, let alone use a reader. I still have over 300 visits a day most days. As always great article... I think the subscriber numbers depend highly on the audience.

I think Chow has WAY too many ads, but the design is bright and fits his market. Designers can always have their opinions :roll: , but the end result is what the visitor appeals to. I've had many designers re-design my sites and conversion NEVER went up. I do agree that ugly sights can still do very well if they have the hungry market to support it! Design can only go so far as I can attest to it with my sites. I have to disagree with Marko on Shoemoney, Chow looking bad in regards to design.

I see a lot of poorly designed blogs out there and they are doing just fine. I mean look at some known blogs like Shoemoney, old Problogger, John Chow and many more. I work as a designer and I must say that these blogs doesn't have good designs. They have average design at best but it doesn't matter because they are all too popular by now. I recently redesigned my blog too and commendation came from all corners but my statistic was terrible. I'm tweaking my old design now, because I'm thinking to change it back. This is just my personal opinion. I don't agree with #1. I see a lot of poorly designed blogs out there and they are doing just fine.
