    As an advertiser on blogs, I would say what I look for are blogs that are updated regularly and have content that would likely be read by users.

    Depends on what your using. If you are using Wordpress you should have no problem finding free plugins.

    I suspect that everyone who has posted so far has missed the question...

    I believe he may be doing market research to determine what new bloggers would want to learn about as they are getting started...

    well, i did have a site, and i also intend to have a blog in the future. what i'm usually curious about regards scripts; useful scripts that could make the blog better looking, more entertaining, more visually appealing etc; i sometimes stumble upon sites and blogs whose author game them a little twist through various scripts, and if something catches my attention, i always ask myself: gosh, where did he get this script from?

    I wrote a couple of articles for my blog, and I managed to sneak an affiliate link in there =P The offer is free to join and then if they make a purchase off the members area I can get a commission for it. Now that it's monetized, I need to know how to get a load of visitors in the fastest time span.

    It is very hard to make big money from blogs these days unless you can leverage off other blogs and have friends taht have high traffic blogs you can put ads on.

    I would not start an autoblog...u have to ask yourself...why should you anyway, are you creating a real business online with an autoblog? or just another dismal money spinner that will let you down? If you want, click the link in my sig (Interesting read) where I go into a full analysis in here and explain what I mean in full.

    First..i think a step to step installation and how to use the platform will be nicer for everyone.
    Also, before this guide, more good will be an introduction and some talking about the webhosting, what the reader want's to do(and that means you must explain for each thing what he can do..i mean: if he want's to make a personal blog or it's a business one).

    There are lots of information you can offer if you intend to write an book.
    Just think step by step everything and you'll see that you have what to talk about.

    Good luck!

    I would like to know more on the different methods to make my blogs/site loved by Google. Apart from this, I would like to enhance my graphic skills. I think graphics is a factor to get visited by people. I want to learn the different writing styles in writing articles and also to have a rich and competitive KW.

    When I was a total newbie I wondered which blogging platform to use , if its blogger or wordpress. I am puzzled if what is the relevance of auto blogging if I can post them by myself. I was kinda hesitant to buy my own domain and hosting because there are lots of free options that my friends are using.

    Blogger blogs are fine until you start to make a little bit of money from them, after that you might have to worry about losing the blog. If that happens and you didn't have your content saved elsewhere then you've lost all your hard work.

    Having your own domain which is hosted on your own account is the safest way to ensure you don't loose your site or its content. How you build out your site, what content you put on it, the plugins you use (if it's WP), the theme used...etc are all up to you and you're not limited by anything except your imagination.
