Fellow Blogger Jamie Monk becomes 'Phuket Blog' authority

Just a short while ago, Google recognized Jamie's Phuket as the authority website on 'Phuket blogs', all together with a special display of Sitelinks. Jamie is of course well known in the local blogosphere and has written for his blog for well over a years time, so he has spent a good amount of time and sweat on his blog(s).



And still, as I mused in a previous post not so long ago (Are Thai girls really the most fascinating thing about Thailand?!), blogging obviously is not all it ought to be!
Even with being the top listed site about Phuket blogs, Jamie has according to Top Of Blogs most of the time less than double the page views than this blog right in front of you, and this after he spent such a long time to develop his content.

The weakness in -- lets call it cultural? -- blogging: if I would write day-in and day-out about Thai girls, best without their clothes on, I might have hundreds of readers easily. With a more broad approach, obviously the number of readers is minuscule, compared to less discerning websites where I do know the visitor numbers reliably.
This means in a world where the glass if half empty, that nobody really cares that much about Thai culture or seemingly fascinating details about the expat lifestyle here. In a world, where the glass is half full, good luck that Phuket and Pattaya cater directly to the needs of the mainstream, so there will always be an endless stream of new material coming...
