Where Has It Gone?
So it seems as though a lot of the buzz created by hiking up Technorati and Alexa rankings has disappeared lately. I remember when I started blogging over a year ago most of the reasons why the Google PageRank was not granted to everyone was because of their involvement in link chains to increase their PR and their Technorati rankings. I wonder what has happened. I also read a report that blogs are selling for less compared to their average a year ago and that may not be good news to some bloggers.
John Chow, the super blogger as he is referred to by me, is still around and pulling in over $350,000 a year but surprisingly enough the trend seems to have changed quite a bit. Most of the blogs would be based around blogging and making money online but lately have started to sway towards the daily happenings in a bloggers life. Its interesting to see what has happened with some of the bloggers in the blogosphere over such a short period of time.
I know that my Technorati and Alexa have dropped through the ground and at first I was really worried in getting it back up quickly but, like reputation, those things take time and I am sure that sooner or later everything will return back to normal. Have you guys noticed a trend lately or is it because I have been out of blogging for a month or two now? Keep me posted!

I think a lot of people have realized how over-saturated the blogs about blogging niche is and have moved away from that. Some have turned to a more personal nature and others have found other niches.
As far as Technorati and Alexa rankings, I don’t think they have much bearing anymore for some reason. It’s weird, as if for some reason everyone just decided to quite paying attention to them. I’ve actually even removed my stats and goals section from my sidebar.

I am thinking seriously to move to finance or auto niche dedicatedly. But the problem with them is, these blogs might not become as interactive as blogging / make money online niche due to presence of 1000s of active bloggers.

Thats definitely true. Making Money Online attracts lots of readers. I had moved to the auto niche and that actually got me a lot of readers but it just depends how well you are able to satisfy your current and new readers!
