With a general blog, you can attract more visitors of various interests. But if you were using the blog to get visitors to your website selling certain products, you would get more targeted visitors with a thematic blog.

Those who are expert in a specific field would surely gonna create a thematic blog and after doing a successful promotion he would have far more visitors than a general blog. -------------------- ms word download

You don't just want traffic you want targeted traffic that is very interested in your topic. -------------------- Almost Passive - Tools and programs for an Almost Passive Income!

I believe that Google will also pick up on the similar content of the theme and rank it higher. -------------------- Make Money From Blogs

It is also important to get yourself known widely and a general blog would help in this respect. QUOTE (leighla10 @ Jun 2 2010, 09:14 AM) Which is better to monetize, a general or thematic blog?

I practically can talk about anything that I desire and it wouldn't really matter what topic it is as the blog community that we have for it now is really good. There are different kinds of people in it and one thing that I like is that whenever they like our posts, they send it to their friends or bookmark it. Pretty good source of links and traffic if you tell me. -------------------- cfp certification programs

A themed blog will attract your target market more quickly than a general one. There's lots of 'waffle' on the web. You don't want yours to be like that. -------------------- Want To Boost Your Income? Get a $200 a Day Income Get Started In Under 2 Minutes! Click Here
