    A current study performed by the New York Times says that the number of young bloggers (ages 12-17) is declining. The study takes this particular statistic and uses it to pose the question of if blogging as a whole is starting to fall out of favor and whether or not its use as an online communication tool has died. Do you feel this is the case? Is blogging, particularly in the world of Website marketing and online sales, dying? If it turns out to be real, what does this mean for web marketers and the field of sales? We chose to look into this concern and find out whether or not it is true and what kind of implication this poses for the internet market arena.

    The first thing we discovered is that blogging is not actually dying, particularly when it pertains to the field of online communication. The statistic used in the posting, that kids aged 12-17 doesn't really imply that blogging is dying. The easy fact is that people in this age bracket are simply migrating over to other forms of social media like Facebook and Twitter---Facebook offers members a chance to write notes which can double as blogs and allows the user to control who can see what he or she writes. Adults are a lot more likely to build their own web properties than kidsparticularly because pesky things like parental consent will not be an issue.

    Blogging seriously isn't a fast onetime issue. If a person within the marketing sector needs to make money on the web, blogging is a great way to do that, but you need to be willing to actually commit to the activity. When the blogs experienced a massive surge of popularity between 2004-2006 lots of Internet marketers jumped right onto the blogging bandwagon, believing that they could quickly create sites that looked like blogs, put up some advertising and be done with their work. It became obvious really quickly to all people who tried this that the only way to actually make money with blogging is to be constantly updating the site with new information. This is the reason a large number of Internet marketers have stopped employing blogging as a key income source.

    Google has also been working overtime to crack down on the folks who have stolen content from others and used it for their own blog and site purposes. This means that, each day, Google de-indexes more sites--the websites that get this done to them are the blogs created by people who employed software to steal content off of other blogs and websites for themselves. With numerous blogs being taken off the radar, it is possible to think that blogging is dying and that the sites are merely being shut down.

    The authentic reality is that blogging isn't dying. Blogging is just being better regulated which means that it is a lot harder for people to earn money using these mediums. While this will affect some simple data, we predict that blogging isnt going anywhere. It's still coming into its own for what it is really supposed to be: an instrument for communication. Blogging is often a more effective method for sharing information than it is for earning quick cash.
