I agree with Eric’s comment. I really enjoyed the interview. I’ve enjoyed everything I read by Seth…including The Dip…which I just finished about 3 weeks ago.

Interviews are an EXCELLENT way to build helpful quality content, in my view.

Hi Howie… nice interview you did. And a great way to add unique, substantial content to a site — via an interview. I’m happy to do any interviews, too…

No, I’m not familiar with that conference, but I’m not a conference attender usually… my schedule’s too complicated to allow much conferencing to happen. But hey, if they’re willing to pay me to attend…

Interesting read: I'd never considered the types of sites I regularly visit in the terms you describe, but I can see how they all fit into your outline. Are you familiar with Postiecon? Its a free blogging conference coming up in Las Vegas in November - thought you might be interested, if you aren't already attending (or speaking?).

Ah, I hadn’t considered that traffic and conversion together would do that, but of course that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the reply!

I don’t think that whether a site is a blog or not is particularly important. It’s easy to build blogs that look like static sites now, in fact, which gives you some advantages. You get a feed and all those wonderful plugins for building sitemaps, etc. But you can certainly do the same stuff with a static site.

What you’re seeing with the blogs is perhaps smart pricing reacting to the traffic influx that happens after a blog post is made. If that traffic doesn’t convert well, your earnings are “adjusted” downwards, at least for a while. Then things are readjusted after traffic patterns are back to normal.
