OptinMonster has a list of the Ultimate List of Blogging Statistics and Facts which they say will 'give you some insight and help you make healthy decisions for your blog’s future' so not sure if they have looked here and are hinting at something but let's dive into their Facts and Statistics and see what we can learn.
Each month, approximately 409 million people view more than 20 billion blog pages with Wordpress being the most popular with 60 million posts being published each month by WordPress users. Blogger is the 2nd most popular in the US and UK with 1.2 monthly users.
The average blog post takes 3.5 hours to write, contains 1,151 words and most bloggers publish new content a few times per month written in English with the most successful posts having titles with between 6 and 13 words, and having a hyphen or colon in the headline increasing readers by 9%.
Articles with images get 94% more views as opposed to those with no visuals.
Most blogs are read in the summer months of June, July, and August and most readers are fellow bloggers with the top blog topics being Food, Travel, Health and fitness, Lifestyle and Fashion and Beauty.
There you go then, just spend an entire afternoon creating a 1,151 word post in English about travelling to a fruit farm in summer using some nice pictures of fruit and give it a title with something like 'Fruit Farms: Travelling To, And Back Home Again, With No Wi-Fi' and you will have a massive hit on your hands.
