The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Floored by the followers?
Ever browse an "ehhh it's just ok" kind of blog and get absolutely floored by how many people are following it? Why do you think so many people are interested?

I've done that. I've found blogs that i just don't get the appeal of (typically its one of all youtube videos or picture posts without any text at all) that have like a 1000 followers. I just figure everyone has their own tastes and obviously that's not mine. Everyone likes different things, but i do wonder how many people follow a popular blog just to get exposure for themselves.

Definitely. But everyone is interested in different things, and I think perseverance/networking goes into a lot of it. If you do enough "follow for follow" trades, you can get your numbers pretty high.

Definitely. Especially when they seem to have quite a few advertisers and manage to make money off it too!

Most popular logs I visit deserve the amount of followers. They are funny, insightful, and all around pleasant to read.
Then again I see some that have abhorrant graphics and outdated content with 100 followers. It seems like they participate in the 'follow me, follow you' or have all their friends from Facebook follow them.
I was looking at Blogger's 'Blogs of Note' and was left shaking my head. Sometimes I don't get why great blogs are left unexposed. Perhaps it's just a matter of time?

Yes.. yes. Yes. I find a lot of blogs that simply post 5 or 6 pictures from weheartit.com every couple of days that have like.. 1,000 followers. It blows my mind.

Don't know. I'd like to think I'm slightly above the "just ok" line.
Maybe that's why I don't have many followers... hah.
