Through more research, i have discovered that we can relate the long tail theory to the world of blogging itself. The is a good diagram on the website listed which illustrates what i am going to talk about. http://nymag.com/news/media/15970/.
Many people have the conception that only a small amount of the blogs which are present on the web have an audience, these being the A-list bloggers which have the majority of the audience. But according to the long tail theory, this is not the case.
Due to the ‘tail’ of B and C list bloggers is infinite, on average then the amount of people reading these blogs, although the numbers being smaller for each blog, usually outweighs the amount which are viewing the small line of the A-list bloggers. Here we already have a vast amount of niche markets already divided up which can be taregted by advertisers and marketing strategies of businesses.
