One who says blogs are dead is certainly out of his mind. They are growing, growing phenomenally. Blogging is no more an ordinary place for blogger-reader interactions and ads. It is a business which is a gateway to enter/explore various channels in the internet. Your blog is almost your startup now.

I definitely agree. For someone to say that blogs are dead is absurd! They are definitely growing more and more each day. We find new ways to increase SEO and that’s what will help improve viewership with blogs. Granted not every blog is viewed as much as some popular one’s, but that’s where maturing comes into play!

Yes, and the size and shape of that space might be changing too. Just like there will likely be less newspapers and a few big ones getting more traffic?

What I’m basically predicting is that in the following years more traffic will start flowing to that top 33%. And maybe that has been happening over the past year too. Is there a way to check that?

Only about a third of our traffic is to the “top blogs” and that has stayed pretty constant over the years. Most blogs get a moderate amount of traffic, and seem happy with that. The folks who go for a ton of traffic, subscribers, and followers are in the minority.

Completely agree with this. Blogging is constantly evolving, just like all other forms of communication. There will always be a space for blogs, just like there will always (probably) be a space for newspapers. The size of that space is yet to be determined.

Hahahha I love this the full circle of the blog so to speak. I remember when I had personal web page and website if it had more than one page

It was a big deal years ago and in another life, to upload to your isp host and have a personal webpage; linking to all the places you frequented: like ebay and the ebay about me page. Or ivillage, etc.

Later it seemed that blogging became the big thing and I really am dense and don’t see much difference other than frequency of expected postings. Microblogging seems to be the newer niche, with links to webpages where you get on a soapbox or have larger blog or whatever.

Me? I’m with the microblog mostly (twitwall) and a few blogs that I dont’ do a lot with.

Now I may have to expand back to a website with a personal webpage. :)
