Blog readers and blog writers redux II.1 The downfall of Cicarelli?


This blog readers vs writers thing remains intriguing. Now, “Jonny” is the top blog search and I’m having trouble figuring out exactly why since the name refers to several pop icons. In fact that may be why it’s up top – it’s a term that overlaps several popular searches for people named Jonny. My own “cicarelli” post is getting some traction but the top referrer for me by far is a reference to my first post about this readers vs writers issue and it’s coming from people over at Technorati searching for “Assparade”.

 

From an SEO perspective it appears we may be seeing signs that writing about the top term is less likely to get a lot of traffic than writing about highly searched but secondary term that is getting much less press. Still way too early to come to this conclusion though.

 

The Technorati search list is changing more day to day than I would expect, perhaps an indication of the fleeting nature of human interest and big media focus. The tag list seems more stable and that would make sense if we assume the following about writers vs readers:

 

Blog writers are a smaller, more focused group

Blog writers tend to stick to same general topics

(?) Blog writers tend to address richer, more stable, deeper subjects and therefore these don’t change at the whim of masses and mass media.
