I found this book after starting 3 blogs. Before, I had low traffic, I didn't quite understand Adsense, and had gotten sucked into phony affiliate marketing programs. After reading the book, my traffic has increased threefold, I've signed up for Google Analytics, and I now have 6 blogs. I have yet to make much money yet, but this book is taking me in the right direction.

Book for Beginners -- Only February 10, 2008
Format:Paperback
If you don't know what a blog is, but for some reason decide you want to start one, then this would be a great place to start. The first third of the book covers "what is a blog".

The next portion deals with promoting your blog. These may be good for someone just entering the blogging world, but most of us have heard of Technorati and RSS feeds. Even if you haven't, you'd be better off with a book that covered more strategies with more depth.

The book gives an overview of the "business" of blogging, but the details are so sparse and basic that you'll have to pick up another book on the subject anyway.

It does a decent job of weighing the pros and cons of different blog services, but, to me, that alone is not worth the price.

Again, if you are a newbie, this book is a good, quick way to get caught up. If not, save yourself the money and buy a different book.

As the author of a new blog for parents (shameless plug(!): www.parenttalk.typepad.com), I needed all the tips and tricks I could find. This book delivers. Not a lot of theory and padding, which I appreciated. Just great tips, links and reviews of different blogging services. I'd recommend it for bloggers who are just starting out.
