Blogs are still not “mainstream”

Although Technorati.com states that there are over 133 million blogs online at the moment, only 15% of that number blog regularly. But out of that, the pro bloggers and self employed bloggers will blog at least 10 hours a week.

Until we see that number of active bloggers go up another 20%, there is still a lot of blogs out there that need to “grow” for the sake of full time information “transfer.”

So we can safely say that the greater part of bloggers have not gone mainstream yet. By mainstream we mean the daily update of blogs for the masses. As we used to get a newspaper delivered to our front door every single day, we are not at the point yet where we can consistently get a blog update via RSS feed on a daily basis for most of the blogs we bookmark.

The large corporations that hire and “army” of writers, they certainly more than make up for the daily updating of information on their blogs and, consequently, get very high page ranking in the search engines. Think about that for a moment, a blog such as BusinessWeek.com has over 20 people writing articles simultaneously to the blog everyday…..that is enough “content horsepower” to get you high search engine rankings and a daily readership of hundreds of thousands everyday as well!

No doubt about it, blogs are here to stay. They will eventually take over TV news and radio. They are already leading over newspaper readership right now since the big established newspaper companies are dying a slow death.

Get ahead of the mainstream now by starting your own business blog!
