and tell me do blogs with various topics get more traffic than the blogs written on a single topic?

Are blogs with multivarious topics more popular?
I am going to have to disagree with jaxicle here. A multi-topic blog may catch the wayward search engine victim but it is a brief useless visit. These blogs generate only the random hit.





A blog with a theme or purpose will usually rank much higher (closer to page 1 on the searh result) when the topic they cover is searched on yielding a better chance to lure the interested party. A second effect is that there is much of interest for the visitor and they are likely to bookmark the blog, view archived entries, return and subscribe to the RSS feed (yielding more hits).





I would say over 75% of my blog hits are returns to themed blogs that I get value from.
Reply:Depends on what's been done with the SEO... is it coded so that search engines can read the site better than a site that uses tables for layouts and stuff like that?





Blogger sucks, it's easy for the search engines to read some of those but the problem with Blogger is... any spamming jerk can sign up for it and spam the hell out of my comments section on my site (lucky for me, I use WordPress, Akismet, and Bad Behavior which blocks any and all spam).





Plus, who owns Blogger?





Uh-huh... Google.





You do the math.





To get back to your original question though, yes, multi-topic blogs I think get more traffic because of the various topics. Though don't think that that is the case all the time.. it's all in the SEO/coding of the site and what powers that site too.
