Eleven Years of Personal Blogging and Counting

This year is my 11th year of personal blogging. I can not believe that I have the patience and energy to attain this activity.

According to the article below 95% of bloggers give up between 31 to 33 months. This applies to both Lifestyle Blogging (LB) and Personal Blogging (PB).

For details about Lifestyle and Personal blogging read the following:

I have been doing Personal Blogging since the summer of 2008. As of today I have written more than 4100 articles on almost all subjects based on my life experiences. Total page views from my 8 blogs is now over 4 million viewers.

I have about 100 viewers daily(total) and more than 600 comments as of today. My most commented blog with over 200 comments is

http://lifeinus1960present.blogspot.com.

In addition to my blogs, I have also a writing account with Hubpages.com ( Owned by Maven). I have written 25 Hubs(long articles) and all are featured as of today. I will appreciate if you also visit my Hubpages.com account in addition to my blogs.

I do not write about politics, religion or sexual topics except on a few cases. These three subjects are controversial and attract more viewers, readers as well as comments. However, since I do not earn my living on my blogs, the number of viewers/readers is not my primary goal. My goal is to receive comments from my blogs. Knowing that readers like my blogs by clicking LIKE or sharing it in their Face Book page makes me happy. This is the primary reason why I am still blogging/writing for over eleven years as of this month. My four most popular hubs are:

(Over 9300 page views)

https://hubpages.com/business/caste-system-in-the-philippines ( over 5600 page views )

https://exemplore.com/paranormal/My-Encounters-with-Aswangs-Witches-Goblins-and-Ghosts-in-the-Philippines ( over 3800 page views)
