Is Blogging Dead? Has it been replaced by Podcasts, Youtube, Vlogs, TikTok, Community Chatgroups?
The answer is a resounding no; Blogging is not Dead! And those that think it is are using faulty metrics to measure performance.
With the discovery of Dark Social back in 2012, you need the right analytical tools to know what is going on behind the scenes.
Dark Social is like a black hole where a lot of traffic to your website seems to have disappeared.
According to studies, 65-85% of link clicks are difficult to track and, in many cases, cookieless stripped of any metadata.
It happens when users share links outside of the share buttons, such as copying the link into their browser, sending as a text, email, or private message of an article, or something they find interesting to a friend.
You need a special app to track these types of clicks classified as Dark Social.
I've written an article about Dark Social that should be used as a companion piece to this article, the Power of Blogging by Chris,
which was inspired by a Youtube video that shows the benefits of blogging vs. other mediums.
I will link back to Chris's article and the Youtube video that he references at the end of this post.
Blogging is not dead, and it is not making a comeback as some people think--it never left.
Have you noticed how big brand media companies are using blog posts (articles) and editorial reviews?
Most have constructed paywalls charging $1-2 a week to read articles and to lure customers to purchase affiliate products.
We all are competing for the same eyeballs, and let us not forget Marketing is 90% & Product/Service 10%.

The Power Of Blogging by Chris
Blogging is a somewhat dead medium. It used to be the most popular form of expression on the internet – today, YouTube has pretty much supplanted it, and the “vlog” (video-log) format has supplanted what information blogs once provided. Sure, a video can be more enjoyable than text, in some cases, but there is a tradeoff – notwithstanding how generally poor I feel YouTube is an outlet for putting out more personal or unique content, there are some issues with how the internet on a whole handles the information in the video – it really can’t.
In a blog article, if I, for example, write an article about the Commodore 128 computer, every single word in the article will be indexed by search engines, meaning if I make a point about something random in the middle of the article, then a google search for that will probably show the article as a hit for that content. Compare this to a YouTube video that can’t really be indexed in such a way – The best the search engines can do is go based on video titles and tags, so unless the videos are just perfectly tagged, or focus on one specific thing, you may never find the video that talks about exactly what you want.
Let’s not get started on, for a longer video, finding information quickly – you pretty much have to watch the whole video, while a blog article can be more quickly read or skimmed over at the very least, and information found quite quickly.
I honestly feel there will come a time soon when the traditional blog makes a return – hell, we may already be in it and just not realize it yet. Who knows. I certainly hope so – I for one would enjoy a return to a slightly more laid back internet, stemming away from current social media and going back to the more traditional self-run site of some kind. At least, it’s something to hope for.

One other thing before you go.
Limited Time Offer: I'm offering my Masterclass 30-day FREE Trial to introduce the RTL follow strategy. This strategy is specifically designed for serious-minded individuals who want to build a successful Twitter platform of 100,000 Twitter Followers. In just a few targeted follow sessions every day, you will become an expert and gain followers like never before.
The strategy revolves around strategically following accounts of retweeters, but rest assured, these are not your ordinary retweeters. Through rigorous testing and proprietary techniques, we have meticulously selected them from high-performing categories with the highest follow-back percentages.
Here's how it works: During the 30-day Free Trial, I will send primetime tweets for you to vet and follow the people who have retweeted them. Yes, you heard it right - vet and follow those who have retweeted the tweets. To begin, click on 'retweets,' which will display a list of everyone who has retweeted the tweet within the last 24 hours. These retweeters are the accounts you should follow if they meet my rigorous criteria.
Moreover, the tweets are focused on highly selective categories in the US and UK, as these categories have consistently shown the highest success rates for follow-backs, ranging from 50% to 85% of the time. By targeting these categories, you can maximize your chances of gaining new followers. Additionally, leveraging different time zones will allow you to optimize engagement, as retweeters are more likely to follow back, particularly when they have been recently active online.
The key to the success of this strategy is to access the tweets while they are still fresh, and the retweeters are actively using Twitter. By being prompt in vetting and following them, you can position yourself at the top of their follow-backs and greatly increase your chances of gaining new followers.
Don't miss out on this revolutionary approach! Sign up for the Masterclass 30-day FREE Trial and take the first step towards Twitter success! Send me an email stating, "Sign me up for the free Masterclass 30-day Free Trial" to bob@mistersalesman.com or Click here https://www.mlemont.com/contact
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL YOU’LL GET!
You must also vet each account before following them to avoid bots and increase your follow-back percentage. Using 'My Secret' vetting criteria is crucial to making the RTL strategy work. The criteria are simple: each account must meet three protocols which I will give during the training session.
