The reason for more is if you have different target audiences. Then you don't want to bother certain audiences with too many posts on other topics. I have 3 real blogs (and 1 blogspot blog I use for miscellaneous stuff) on investing, science and management. I will post some fairly unrelated stuff but in general stick to the targeted content. My aim is a bit different than many though - my aim is to provide content people like and find useful. The monetary rewards are not very high on my list of priorities. I figure if I provide a service people like over the years I will be rewarded. I think 1 blog is best. The reason for more is if you have different target audiences.

Blogs are not mathematical formulas. Good point, Wayne. Man, is that quote ever a bunch of bullshit. Blogs are not mathematical formulas. Good point, Wayne.

Having more blogs will been the need to spend more time more content creation, traffic building, link building, readers interaction, social media optimization... (even naming the broad category of tasks made me tired) I guess more and more people are opening a lot of blogs because of the famous quote,

If that's not the case then you should consider delegating certain tasks so that you have enough time for all of your websites and don't end up neglecting some of them.

I sit there thinking, why not have one or two really good ones? Spreading yourself thin only means that you're spreading your time, energy and efforts thin - and that means substandard blogs. One good blog with constant attention and devotion can build up bigger, better and more solidly for long-term investment than seven scrappy blogs splattered about. Or at least, that's my opinion. Oh, hey, nice pic! Thanks! ;) I have to admit, lately I’ve been seeing people crowing about having seven or eight blogs. I sit there thinking, why not have one or two really good ones?
