Is Blogging Dead?

A new article printed in the New York Times says that the number of bloggers between the ages of twelve and seventeen has been reducing dramatically. The study uses this statistic to pose the questions of whether or not the complete blogging medium is following suit and whether or not blogging, as a form of communication online, is dying. Is this accurate? Is blogging, especially in the online marketing and internet sales arena, dying? What would this, if it were correct, indicate for the sales field and for online marketers? We chose to consider this concern and find out whether or not it is true and what kind of implication this poses for the internet market arena.

The very first thing that we determined is that blogging, especially in terms of aiding one’s ability to communicate online is not truly dying. First of all, the statistic of kids between the ages of twelve and seventeen blogging less isn’t going to in fact mean that blogging is going to go away. What is really happening is that people in this age group are just migrating over to Twitter and, especially, Facebook–the service that offers people the power to create “notes” which can act in much the same fashion as blog entries and allow the user to control who is able to see what they have written down. Adults are much more likely to build their own web properties than kidsparticularly because pesky things like parental consent aren’t an issue.

You also needs to stop for a second and consider the fact that blogging is hard work! Blogging just isn’t a fast onetime thing. If you want to make money online, especially when you are in Internet Marketing, you need to be willing to actually commit to the activity if you want to find success with the activity. When the blogs experienced a massive surge of popularity between 2004-2006 lots of Online marketers jumped right onto the blogging bandwagon, believing that they could swiftly create sites that looked like blogs, put up some advertising and be done with their work. Most of the folks who experimented with this found very quickly that the only way to create real income via blogging was to always be updating their sites with brand new information. This is the reason that lots of Internet marketers have stopped employing blogging as a primary income source.

Google is cracking down on people that post stolen written content on their blogs and also websites. This signifies that each day hundreds of blogs are being de-indexed by Googlethese tend to be the blogs created by people who use software to steal the content off of other sites and put it on their own. With numerous blogs being yanked off the radar, it’s easy to think that blogging is dying and that these sites are just being closed down.

The simple fact is that blogging is not really dying. Blogging is just being far better regulated so it is a lot more difficult for people to earn money using these mediums. Sure this will affect some of the basic and blatant information but we don’t think that blogging is actually going to go anywhere. It’s still coming into its own for precisely what it is really designed to be: an instrument for communication. Blogging is a lot better medium for those who want to share information than it is for someone to earn money.
