Popular blog search engine Technorati says that there are 175,000 new blogs born everyday and it is currently tracking 112.8 million blogs. Since spam dominates almost every kind of data related to the internet, you can safely assume that a huge percentage of these blogs are spam blogs or splogs, as they are called. But this doesn't mean that blogging as an occupation is any less popular.

It's true that many blogs today are full fledged internet businesses and it's equally true that there are many more blogs which people just don't know about in spite of their good content and some serious efforts. Usually there are 2 reasons behind such a miserable state of a blog - 1. The blogger isn't doing things in the right way or 2. The blogger is lazy and just doesn't want to do things in the right way.
