Is blogging more about making cash with ads then personal expression?

Yes I sometimes see blogs which write articles which want to attract high paying advertisers like BMW, Cadilac, Jaguar, etc. A lot of car blogs I visit sometimes usually write posts about high end cars like BMW X5 instead of cars most of us can afford like Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, etc.

It also seems it is the same for Electronics blog. Most of the articles are about Apple, Sony, Microsoft, and a few other more expensive brands, and they rarely talk about reliable generic brands.

It is almost like the blog writers are writing ads instead of blogs for expressing themselves.

It's what people want to read though, thats who they are writing to.

people wnat to read about there "dream car" the brands you named are "mid market" though if you meant the Veryron, Ferrari, lambo, Aston then i could understand by BMW's, jag's are affordable providing you have an okay job

I guest you are right. Not many people want to read about their mom's van, or their dad's station wagon.

It is kind of a shame that Jag does not make the XJ220 anymore.
