I have to say it was really hard to get back into the blogging routine after being away that long.

I did think the number of abandoned blogs would be a bit higher as well. That must of taken hours, even days to research.

Great info. :)

They capture considerable search traffic and thus Adsense and other advertising clicks. Many ‘abandoned’ blogs may very well be niche marketing sites.

I have been faithful to my work blog and it did jump up in page rank with in four months, but had to abolish it, broke the no commerical blog policy and didn't know about it, so I started a new one. There is one that I have watched for a certain term that hasn't been posted on since late september, and they are on top, because of links I am told! Great post, and good debate to open.

My wife falls into the abandonment camp. She took a blogging vacation last April, never to return. <br/><br/>To paraphrase Ringo Starr, time takes time. Steady blog readership builds slowly. If you have a niche for your blog, the worst thing you can do early on is obsess over site hits. Just keep writing and people will find you until you learn to use networking tools to further promote your site. <br/><br/>But blogs are like anything else. If you have the type of personality to gets easily excited by a new hobby, only to burn out quickly, your blog will have the shelf life of Chris Gaines. Very interesting stats.

Stan – Can I have your abandoned blog? :-D

Like four or five or even six. then I realized how hard it was managing just three, and I dumped two, kept one, and now I've made a second.

In the end I decided to just go with my instincts and create a personal blog.
