I don't believe blogs should be prosaic, or thorough academically researched essays. The voice of the writer should be clear and unique. The information shouldn't be recycled truisms one can anywhere on the web. The blogs I find useful contain some insights, which should be interesting - whether I agree with them or not. The issue isn't 'creativity' but the kind of storytelling that brings people back for more.

And undoubtedly there's a steep road ahead. But I firmly believe that it's quality content that will convert visitors into subscribers, and you have to offer something that your audience is willing to pay for in order to convert your readers into dollars and cents. (whether the thing they're willing to pay for is offered by your advertisers, and you get paid by them, or yourself, and you're making profit directly, is a question of secondary importance). Easier said than done, though, but one thing is sure: throwing a couple of AdSense stripes here and there will not be enough to shake the world. Tom: thanks for the comment and thanks for popping in.

Now when it comes to traffic, it's pretty useless unless it converts into subscribers or dollars and cents for that matter. It does take a specialized set of skills to learn the art of better conversion though. Yan Wow, it sounds like you already have a game plan for 2009.

I think when it comes to traffic, that it's the quality of the traffic over the quantity. Because I have seen a lot of successful blogs that are making money from a lot less traffic then my blog gets. Great Post!
