Based upon my observations and experiences, I would say that there are three basic types of bloggers: The Professionals These folks claim to earn their daily bread solely via blogging and expend a lot of effort studying and writing about "SEO," niches, marketing research, analytics and all sorts of other concepts I neither understand nor want to understand.
