Jeg har i forgårs interviewet Darren Rowse fra Problogger.net som er en stor personlighed inden for blogging verdenen. Han bor i Australien hvorfra han arbejder som fuldtid blogger.

Han er medstifter af b5media som har over 300 blogs under sig. Darren blogger blandt andet om hvordan man tjener penge på sin blog, hvordan man får besøgende samt han har skrevet en masse gode begynder guides.

Men her kommer så mit interview med ham (foregår på engelsk):

– Where do you see yourself in five years?

I hope I’m still doing what I’m doing now to be honest. I enjoy blogging as a medium and while I think it’ll probably evolve I’m a communicator at heart and can’t see myself really doing much else.

- Where do you see blogging in five years?

I believe that blogging will continue to evolve and merge with other forms of websites. We’re already seeing it with some of the biggest blogs who are adding social networking, job boards, forums, social bookmarking and more. This will continue – but we’ll also see more and more services that enable smaller to medium sized bloggers to do it too.

- What do you think was the biggest news in the blogging world in 2007?

Which week? It seems a new story broke every week or two. Paid Reviews was a big issue for many – and continues to be.

- If you had to choose only one kind of the ads your running at this time,
which one would it be?

It depends on the blog. If it’s a product related blog I’d probably go with Chitika. If it was a blog more like ProBlogger it would probably be either affiliate programs or private sponsorships. Each ad option works so differently on different blogs so it’s difficult to narrow things down to one. Overall for me it would be either AdSense or Chitika.

- What is the most common mistake you see on other blogs?

Once again – there are so many that I see.
One big one is bloggers giving up too early. They come to blogging expecting loads of readers and to make good money from day one – when this doesn’t happen most give up pretty quickly. If only they kept it up for another few months.

- Which article on your page have most page views?

For the last few months the post with the most page views has been this one – http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/11/15/how-i-make-money-blogging/

Thank you for your time

Det var det, Darren er jo en travl mand.

Darren har nogle spændende synspunkter. Blandt andet det med at han syntes en af de største fejl han ser på mange blogs er at folk giver op for hurtigt, fordi de regner med at læserne og pengene bare strømmer ind i løbet af den første dag. Men som han påpeger, så skal man give det en chance, for det kommer ikke fra den ene dag til den anden.

Hvad er din mening til de spørgsmål jeg stillede Darren? skriv det i en kommentar nedenunder. Jeg glæder mig til at høre din mening.
