Blogging and networking are similar to high school in the sense that both have several different crowds, the smart one’s, the gothic’s, the sports enthusiasts, and so on. However, in blogging and dominating your niche, you have a choice, you can be the defiant one who ignores the hierarchy and concentrate on your own little space.
