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 awful lot of hay for potential readers to sift through for that one single needle that your blog represents.
Thankfully, it’s not quite as bad as it looks. Keep in mind that a significant portion of those 144 million blogs are:
- Spam blogs.
- Blogs that are rarely updated.
- Blogs outside your genre.
On the other 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 about). Quite a challenge.
So, best of luck to all you bloggers out there, and keep typing.
