Are spanking blogs a dying art form?
If you are only here for the picture today, then here it is. If you pay attention there seems to be several people holding her down in what one would assume is a birthday spanking, or, paddling in this case.
Being that I am one of the old guard of spanking blogs, having had an active one for more than 18 years now, I have gone through the winds of change. At one point the spanking blog was very popular about 15 years ago or so, but they virtually all died off and were put out to pasture.
Now that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still popular spanking blogs out there, but nowadays mine isn’t one of them. The one thing that I have always taken pride in is my humbleness when it comes to telling the truth. And many times I have looked at the grandiose claims that some old blogs used to make in regards to their numbers.
The reason that I say they were grandiose is because of my own personal numbers. First and foremost, the numbers sounded unrealistic, sometimes upwards of 25 times more viewers than my blog used to get, even in the good days. But then I would look at the Internet website rankings, and the blogs with the claims would be below mine in the rankings. I believed the rankings to be true as well, because the blogs that I believed were good magnets for viewers, even though none of them exist anymore, they were indeed ranked higher than mine.
So where does this spanking blog currently stand? Well I am going to give you the honest number, because I am humble that way.
At one point in time, this blog would get upwards of 2,000 visitors a day, and on a bad day it would be as low as 600 visitors. The average number during this time would have been around 800-900 visitors a day. Where do I currently stand? This may shock you, but today my blog only gets between 130-160 visitors a day!!
It’s like 5 times less than what it once was.
There are a couple of factors that contribute to this, though. First of all there is that annoying security check that was forced onto my blog. While it is necessary, it doesn’t make it any less annoying. Why do I say that it is necessary though? It’s quite simple, every day my blog used to get a 100 or more spam comments that would be flagged, which is why I used to require an email address in order to leave a comment, otherwise the blog would have been flooded with spam. Since the security check was installed, I’m lucky if I even get one spam comment a day, the security check has all but eliminated them.
I’m also a smart guy though, because it made me confront a reality that I didn’t even know was there. When my numbers were high, were they actually a false number? Was most of my blog visitor count actually spam and bot visitors? Is it possible, in recent years anyway, that my blog numbers were severely inflated due to spam and bots? If I’m being really honest with you, I think that it was. Perhaps the reality for my blog is that the numbers fell in decline several years ago, long before I realized they were declining.
Before anyone questions it, this post has nothing to do with the death of this blog, in fact far from it. My blog was dying the last couple of years simply because I lost interest in the scene. There was one factor in particular that completely turned me off of the lifestyle, something that I found to be particularly reprehensible. Combined with my waning interest, it was a perfect combination of disaster for the longevity of this blog.
Now I’m back though, and my interest has been reignited by writing spanking stories that I am putting up on Amazon. Just so that you know, I am currently working on three stories, each of which are likely to be in the 25,000 word range, give or take.
In fact in one of the stories I have already written 5,000 words to, but I paused the story. It is a unique story set in 1955 of which I don’t want to give the details away just yet, but I am 5,000 words in and we aren’t even close to a spanking just yet. It made me pause because I’m thinking, is that what spankos really want? Let’s say a 25,000 word story, but the first spanking doesn’t happen until the story is already 10,000 words deep. There is likely to be three spankings in the entire story, but it is only a side piece to the main story. I’m just doubting how interested spankos would be in that.
Personally I love the idea of the story, it is a very unique one that I don’t recall reading anything similar before, so it will add a new dimension to spanking stories, and, ‘a new dimension’ could be considered quite a big hint as to the direction of my story.
So I have paused that one and I am now back to the story about Laura and her Mom. The framework of which has already been decided, I just need to get cracking on writing another 20,000 words.
Anyway, I’ve babbled on long enough, I don’t need to waste your time any further. My blog isn’t going anywhere, and if the truth be known, the stories I have been selling on Amazon have almost paid the entire annual fee for this blog for 2025 already, after only two weeks.
