That’s when the blogger chooses the niche (subject matter and keywords) and lays the foundation for what kind of a blog they intend to create, selects a url, blog title and blog tagline that reflect the intended “brand”. Thereafter, branding begins to shift as a reader community develops and grows. Ultimately, the blogger and the reader community become co-creators of an ever evolving brand. Unless a blogger answers your two questions and reviews and revises their answers as time progresses they are, in essence, blogging in the dark. I recognize this. I've acted on it, blogged about it, and I've posed the same questions to other bloggers. I'm happy to see you beating the drum too, as I will now have an authoritative post I can backlink to when the next confused blogger asks me for help.

When I first started blogging I was a little greedy with what I did... And hypey, and stupid. But yeah, now I'm like totally around that! I've gotten a lot better results with that. I'm posting daily, helping people out, and I get tons of repeat readers now! I can see why Authority Blogger would be a cool program. -Kris Roxas I really do think care is important.
