The following made me feel better knowing that it's not just My blog people don't read. "I'M NOT ALONE" in the world of unread blogs.
The real reason why no one reads your blog.
Ever wonder why the traffic to your blog is so terrible? I too am concerned about increasing my readership, so I decided to gather some information to help me decipher why my traffic sucks. What I found wasn’t encouraging.
Consider the following facts:
There are approximately 6.5 billion people in the world.
Only 16%of the world’s population (1 billion people) have internet access.
16% of the world’s population is illiterate, which leaves only 840 million readers.
Of that, only 20% of the world’s population speaks English, leaving 168 million readers.
Only 30% of internet users read blogs, leaving 50 million readers.
50 million people, sounds like a lot right? Wrong!
Technorati is currently tracking around 50 million blogs.
That’s pretty simple math, 50 million blogs for 50 million readers.
Therefore, with an average of only 1 reader per blog, then who’s reading your blog?
That’s right, just you. Depressing, ain’t it?
