NBI Follow Up
Back in May Syp of Bio-Break arranged a program for new bloggers. He got a bunch of bloggers to agree on posting articles on how to blog, set up a website or just to answer question from newbie bloggers on the forums.
I have pages with links for all the Sponsors and Newbies who signed up. It was bit of a surprise to see how many people participated. At last count there were 92 Sponsors and 109 Newbie bloggers. Strange as it may sound a few are actually listed in both and many of the Newbies posted help and tips articles as well.
For a list of the bloggers participating sorted by type, check out this list or here for the list of sponsor articles.
FlizBleu over at MMO Compendium also posted some interesting numbers at the half way mark.
I got curious and went back and checkout my list of Newbie bloggers to see how many were still active.
109 Newbie Bloggers
22 Never posted after signing up or never made it through May
28 Showing signs of life eith by posting in last 2 weeks or mentioning an extended absence
59 Active and in some cases very active bloggers, still going strong.
I think this means it was a rousing success where better than half are regular posters and another 1/3 may post intermittantly or on planned absences but will return.
Thanks for the follow up info! It’s pretty cool to see a majority of the blogs semi or fully active! Good job to everyone!
Cool to see so many newbie bloggers are still active! I must say that these numbers are better than I expected.
Good job checking out these numbers.
Hehe,
I am one of those who signed up on both sides. I did start my site in December’11, not necessarily as a blog, but by April it became clearer to me. But Syp’s counted 5-6 month online as experienced, or at least non-newbie. But I certainly didn’t feel experienced.
