How many read blogs? (please reply)

Wow. I read tons of blogs. Too many to count. Cigar blogs, Technology blogs, Political blogs, Science blogs... It seems like anytime I am looking for some sort of specialized info, Google brings me to a blog.

I would say that with today's more powerful blogging software, many of the blogs don't really look like blogs. Also, adding an E-Commerce plug-in is extremely cheap and easy. Plus you can get advertising revenue.

As for TripleF's point, I think that depends on one thing. Traffic. Blogs with a lot of traffic can generate very good sales and revenue. But it is hard to continue to increase traffic. I think every bloggers hope is to generate enough revenue to pay for the hosting and registry costs, but very few do.

And the blog I run for my business pulls in decent keyword traffic. Then refers to the main website.

I think more people read blogs than realize it. If you go to any of the big sports sites, eg espn etc, or really any of the well known commercial sites those links you're hitting are taking you to somebodys blog whether you realize it or not. I read a lot of blogs as rss feeds through a couple
of different aggregators, it's the only way to have the time
to keep up with all of the different professional and personal things I want to. Maybe not as many as some have stated, but easily 50-60 blogs of some
sort I follow
