Are hanwritten blogs worth it

In my experience, what generates traffic is the amount of promotion. I have RSS blogs with lots of traffic, and handwritten blogs with little traffic (and the opposite cases too). What determines the sales is how targeted the traffic is, and how niched the blog. Yes, sales text plays a role as well, but some sponsor feeds are great that way, while others suck. Then again, I'm sure the same can be said for "handwritten" posts. After all, you have writers writing the feeds for sponsors, and they may be better or worse than you, right?

I guess it boils down to duplicate content issues and SEO, not to the quality of writing per se. In my experience, duplicate content is a non-issue.
