At least it isn't all for nothing. Feedspot came out with their Top 100 Fly Fishing Blogs and Websites to Watch in 2022. It's a tool marketers use to see where they are going to direct their money and allegiance to. Yes, its all about the money, bottom line.
So the big ones stacked the front of the list. MidCurrent, Moldy Chum, Orvis, Fiberglass Manifesto, and then down at number 45 is The Average Angler. This list is made up of fly fishing blogs from across.....the world.
I have never went and had advertisers fill up and take away from the blog. Some would say that is stupid and that I should get paid for doing this. If someone could show me how to monetize it I just might, could help offset some of the expenses, especially with the boat.
What is interesting is is that alot of the blogs don't create original content, first hand experiences that are put down in words and captured on a camera. They are "borrowed" images and hyperlinks to others content. Not here, well not usually, its my content, or my friends content. That's what people like about this blog.
We are approaching 700,000 which is the number of new "people" or IP addresses that have or do check us out. So since its inception in 2009, we have had that many people click on the blog, either on purpose or by accident.
Goals for 2022? I hope to add more video content to the blog.
