Justin,
Thanks for your feedback. I agree with you overall, but I think that content is an issue for a lot of people in particular niches. For example, there are a ton of blogs about making money online, and most of them don’t provide content that is really anything special. The blogger may really have a passion for the subject, but in a competitive niche like that there has to be a real effort to create strong content. This isn’t an issue in some niches, but in my opinion it is an issue in many.
