It is a balancing act between making your B2B blog too narrow in focus and standing out from the crowded field of bloggers. Some bloggers suggest that you pick topics that revolve around popular search terms/phrases used by your audience.

To be on the same list (much less on top) with bloggers for whom I have tremendous respect and admiration ( Valeria Maltoni , Lee Odden , David Meerman Scott , and many others) is a real affirmation for what I’m trying to do.
