Blogging is Dead
Filed Under Blogging News
Did you hear the news? Blogging is dead!
The revelation that blogging is so 2004 and not worth doing any longer was sure news to me.
Paul Boutin over at Wired.com States “Thinking about launching your own blog? Here’s some friendly advice: Don’t. And if you’ve already got one, pull the plug.”
Paul is right, that the top blogs on Tecnorati are no longer the personal blogs written by the individual, they are now the blogs of corporations and political heavy weights. The small time blogger like you and I no longer have a chance to reach the top of the blog directories.
So you need to stop blogging today. Do you hear me? Everyone stop blogging – please.
According to the above article, some bloggers are moving over to Twitter and Facebook. Yes, Twitter and Facebook are great services and I think all blog owners should use those services and just stop blogging – blogging is just a waste of time.
There are just too many blogs today, too much competition to make it worth while.
I guess the ease of use of blogging platforms, like WordPress, has doomed all of us in the blogging world. Now virtually anyone, without technical expertise can blog, and blogging is no longer the darling of the technically skilled.
The blogosphere has created it’s own demise since it is so easy to do, and there are so many people teaching others how to blog.
With the millions of blogs out there, how will your blog ever get noticed? It won’t – so stop already, pull the plug, go Twitter everyone and let them know you will be using Twitter to communicate with them, because you are pulling the plug on your blog.
Let’s start a “pull the plug on your blog” movement, and spread the word to everyone we know.
Wait a minute….what are you doing here? How come you are reading this? Don’t you know blogs are dead?
Seriously, even though it has become tougher to compete in the blogging arena, there are still plenty of benefits to blogging. The internet is still all about content, and blogs are content. Plus, the search engines still love blogs and content and always will.
If some find blogging no longer worth doing, and turn off their blogs, great – that just leaves more potential visitors to our blogs.
The real key to blogging today, is to find niches to blog about.
For example, if you try to get traffic to a general political blog today, you will have a hard time competing with the big boys. But, if you decided to blog about something like politics from a Christian’s prospective, or from a lawyer’s perspective, or an internet marketer’s perspective, you should be able to find an audience.
Blogging is dead – NOT! It’s just like everything else on the internet, you just need to adapt to the times and competition.
Blog on!
