It's difficult to cut against the tide -- to somewhat vibe with your metaphor -- with the hope and belief that a significant audience will follow. The importance of paid advertising has also been on my mind. I wonder if playing it organic (great content, consistent posting, networking, commenting regularly on other blogs in the subject area/niche, etc. etc.) when starting from scratch can be enough to gain a signficant readership. Probably this plays back to your notion of the red/blue ocean -- exploring new waters for new audiences!

Without sounding horribly cliche'd (and failing, I think), to find the kind of success that many us crave -- certainly, as an adequate return on time and energy -- I think its important to find 'blue oceans', rather than trying to compete within established 'red oceans'. Eric,

Shit, whether it is derived from humans or horses, is smelly and offensive, and for the purposes of the argument, relative. I'll just leave it at that. ;) [well, that and to make mental note how advertisers like to segment gay men!] Doc,
