There’s always something to howl about.

The long tail of a big dog: The group blog a year later

It’s a year to the day since BloodhoundBlog became a group blog.

Coincidentally, I was talking to Brian Brady today about our long tail, why the accumulated effort of a weblog is a leveraged asset: The most recent content will be the most popular today, but older content will attract greater and lesser attention in perpetuity.

To illustrate the idea, I ran the last year in MyBlogLog. We served nearly 600,000 pages of content in that time. The report is limited to the 2,000 most popular pages, with who knows how many more stretching out in the long tail.

It’s more a curiosity than anything, but, if you like, you an see it by clicking here.
