The blogosphere haystack: 144 million blogs

August 4th, 2010 General

Haystack No wonder many bloggers have a hard time getting noticed. According to Blogpulse, there are more than 144 million blogs in the world, publishing 1 million posts per day. So there is some competition.

That’s an dreadful lot of hay for potential readers to sift through for that one single needle that your blog represents.

Thankfully, it’s not quite as terrible as it looks. Keep in mind that a significant part of those 144 million blogs are:

Spam blogs.
Blogs that are rarely updated.
Blogs outside your genre.

On the additional hand, that will still leave you with anywhere from thousands to hundreds of thousands of blogs to compete with (depending on what you’re blogging in this area). Quite a challenge.

So, best of luck to all you bloggers out there, and keep typing.
