I read something similar in a book, but I couldn't figure out how to make use of the information. But this article simplified everything for me. Now I can make use of those long tail search words that only very few can compete on ;-) Thanks for the useful info. Cheers. Hi Yaro,

"The same question can be applied to podcast hosts. If I recommend a piece of software chances are you are going to trust what I say because you believe I’ve tested it myself and found it to be a good program. However if my popularity skyrockets, I become more and more commercial, perhaps with staff and paid advertisers do you value my opinion any less?" Its the web! Its all about how you frame it, and if you manage to keep you reputation clean. If you still communicate to me like you're my best friend or a knowledgeable partner, I'm still inclined to accept you as a good buddy of mine even if I'm one of a million adoring fans. I can't tell the difference! Many PC tech sites are very good at this- communicating to a very large market, whilst the market still feels like its a niche community. One that comes to mind is thresh's firing squad (I forget the url). They've got a massive following, get primo access to new hardware (recognition of their reach), and yet still 'feel' like a niche community. Its a good trick, and probably why these marketers target A listers. Hey Yaro!
