[...] Supposedly there are 70 million or so existing blogs, but over 65 million of them are dead. True? Who knows. But if you do not wish to see pickleparking disappear into the blackhole of bloggies, [...]

[...] Of course, there are a lot of different sorts of blogs. Not quite as many as there are bloggers, but still quite a few. By the way, the number of blogs is thought by some, including Technorati, to be over 60 million. That’s a lot of blogs. Some say there are as many as 70 million. It seems that nobody is counting the number of active blogs, really, but it seems safe to say that most of them are inactive. Blogging apparently is not for everybody. [...]

What It Means to Crack the Top 100,000...

I cracked the top 100,000 blogs on Technorati. I guess there are around 90,085 blogs ahead of me now. But, still I made it out of total obscurity into the land of mostly obscure. I think it takes about 40-50...

[...] Today marks a milestone for jon lee dot see eh as I am currently listed in the Technorati Top 100 Most Popular Blogs! Out of the 70 million blogs being tracked by Technorati, I’m currently the 95th most popular. (It should be mentioned that only an estimated 38.5 million of these are active.) [...]

Surely the number of 70 million alone is just one definiton of the blogosphere and the “real” number of active blogs is a lot smaller.
This again depends on how you define active (i like the “at least one
entry per month” rule best).
But altogether it would be interesting to see the data for example for the three
groups “at least one post per day, -week, -month”…

I think that maximum 20% of blogs are active; “active” can be a blog used by family every 2 or 3 months to post some pictures about hollydays.. or blogs used as “project plateforms” sometimes.
There is an other way to know how many blogs are active.. Look at the income of sixapart for example. With typepad for sub-example, the payment from partners is only for active blogs, then it’s quite easy to know how much blogs at all are active…;-)
May be it’s easyer with local asp systems like typepad..

[...] Yes, But How Many Blogs Are There Really? at Blog P.I. The latest State of the Blogosphere report from Dave Sifry at Technorati came out last week. He also calls it “State of the Live Web,” which either sounds like he’s trying to get acquired by Microsoft or retiring the word “blogosphere” (tags: blog statistics) [...]
