While catching up on some of my feeds I ran across an interesting post on Blogging Tips entitled When do you throw in the towel? This is a question I see asked a lot by bloggers who have been blogging for six months or less and they are disappointed that they aren’t rich yet, or they aren’t satisfied with the number of comments they are getting on their posts.

Unfortunately, to many people get into blogging because they think they can make a lot of money online, or they put to much emphasis on getting comments on their posts.  If you aren’t a full time blogger, that is not a good reason to start blogging. Blogging should be something you do because you want to, not something you do for money or comments. If you get into blogging for the wrong reasons, you are probably doomed to begin with.

If you look at what blog’s have experienced the most success, many of them are passionate about what they do, and would probably do it even if they weren’t successful. This is the key to a blog’s success in my experience.

How do you measure a blog’s success?
