What makes a good blog? Is that all about the number of readers? Daily unique visitors? Google PageRank, Alexa or Technorati ranking? What is the most important thing for having a good blog?Is it theme?

After 3 years of blogging, I found the answer:  a blog written on a specific topic that is helping  the writer lead a group of likeminded people.  Building a community, and leading them. Google PageRank, RSS counts, Alexa, Technorati can always be improved.

As a person if you can not build and lead a community,  chances are you will never ever become a good blogger, and have a good blog.

So if you have a blog or about to launch a new blog, before everything, just think about how you can lead your readers on that specific topic? Try to gather a group of people around your blog who are sharing the same purpose. Why should they follow you?

Discover the hero within, and become a thought leader on your topic. Put targets for your community, empower your followers. Act like a big enterprise with your followers. The small is the new big today. That’s the secret formula…
