Technology blogs dominate the blogosphere
I like Technorati. Whenever I look at Technorati, I see the dominance of technology related blogs. The Technorati top 100 consists of blogs which are favorited by Technorati members and the ones receiving the most links from around blogosphere. So these two criteria defines how you can be in the Technorati top 100.
For the majority, having a blog and linking to other blogs from that blog is not part of the everyday life. Many people keeping a blog are people that are not technologically challenged. Most of this not technologically challenged people are very much interested in the web and other technologies.
So, naturally they dominate the blogosphere. They dominate the most important notion of the web: linking.
If you blog about electronic gadgets, the probability you will be linked from other blogs is much higher in comparison to the case that you blog about flowers or decoration or art or real estate.
There is no immediate solution or correction to this. This is a matter of literacy and illiteracy. The more people get used to use the web and blogs efficiently the more we will have an equally distributed and highlighted content about everything.
On the other hand, let me finish this post with another detail in favor of none-technology topics. They are rare. All of them are still a niche. Any none-technology subject is still an area that you can built a web-content providing business and thus you can have advertising profit easier than a technology related blog.
I would strongly suggest to have a blog about a topic which is out of the area of technology. This would really make money.
