Blog Popularity And Your Blogging Profit Plan

In recent studies by the American Life Project and The Guardian (UK), researchers asked whether or not the popularity of blogs today was growing in the two countries; and if so, why? The results on the popularity of blogs today were not exactly what most members of the blogosphere might expect.

Researchers working on the American Life Project found that the popularity of blogs today in terms of readerships in the United States was absolutely exploding; however, they also found that the amount of blogs available was increasing slower in comparison. In the last six months of 2004, for instance, blog readers grew from a mere 17% of the population to a robust 37%--a significant increase. However, blog writers only increased from 5% and 7%; and largely maintained their homogeneous composition, which is predominantly male, young, and wealthy. The ALP attributed this explosion in readerships to the Presidential race, where both candidates employed blogging in some form to attract campaign donors.

The Guardian, which performed their study more recently, also found similar results in the United Kingdom on the popularity of blogs today. While they also found that readerships had increased dramatically, they did not find the same issue of slow blog growth; however, they did find out that a fairly astonishing 30% of frequent Internet users had never even heard of a blog.

So, in which direction is the popularity of blogs today moving?--To greater profusion or to obscurity?

Given that blogs are the best intermediary between websites and forums, it is hard to imagine that they will decrease in popularity; conversely, however, it isn't hard to imagine that they will improve significantly in continuation with how they have changed since their inception in the mid-1990s.

In the short term, it is fairly safe to imagine that larger blogs will experiment with video technology while older blogs stick with easy, faster-loading models. It is also fairly safe to assume that blog indexing methods will continue to improve and may even break away from the traditional algorithm method. Planning Your Blogging P.rofit Plan Planning your blogging p.rofit plan is crucial part of the construction of any m.onetized blog. But what does it usually involve? Generally, planning your blogging p.rofit plan consists of two things: working on a traffic generation plan and improving conversion rates. When planning your blogging p.rofit plan, you may want to work on the conversion side first. If you begin sending traffic to your blog before it is m.onetized properly, your conversion rates could be too low to earn a significant return on your i.nvestment; this is especially true if you are p.aying for traffic from p.ay-per-click sources, such as Adwords. One important thing you must consider when planning your blogging p.rofit plan is how you can improve the quality of your copywriting. If you do not feel that you have the expertise or writing skills to convince someone to b.uy your p.roduct, you may want to hire someone to write your s.alespage for you. With the recent boom in f.reelancing m.arkets, you should be able to find a talented copywriter on elance.com or guru.com for a relatively low p.rice per word or page. If your copy is bad, your conversion rate will also be bad, which means you are wasting traffic.

Additionally, you should consider including pre-s.elling tactics while planning your blog p.rofit plan. You may want to include such pre-s.elling methods as g.iveaways, c.ash prizes, or some other form of interaction for visitors. The other important thing to consider while planning your blog p.rofit plan is your traffic generation methods. No matter what the topic of your blog, you generally have five basic traffic generation methods: p.ay-per-click programs, which allow you to p.ay for targeted traffic; natural search engine traffic, which you can build by optimizing onpage and offpage factors; l.ink-based traffic, which you can build by p.urchasing l.inks from l.ink brokers; list m.arketing traffic, which you can build by p.urchasing solo a.ds from list-owners; and repeat traffic, which you can build by giving visitors a reason to return and by persuading them to bookmark your site. All things being equal, you must concentrate on traffic generation and conversion rates while planning your blogging p.rofit plan.
