18May Can your blog survives ‘sick time’?
In as much as I want to blog, I just cannot find the vigour to write anything. There are a few things to write but I am just too tired to do proper research, capture screenshots and make any decent posting due to some personal matters.
So, I have been wondering…..
How long can a blog survives if the owner is not able to update it?
Will it still continue making an income?
How much will the traffic drop?
Will regular subscribers unsubscribe?
Is it necessary for a less personal blog like this one to leave a vacation notice?
Well, I don’t know.
Let’s wait and see how things go. Though I have not been updating this blog, I still actively write on my personal blog and my Christian blog.
So, do you regularly take blog break to attend to other urgent matters?

It will depend on what kind of search engine traffic you get.
For example, I have a niche blog which I haven’t done a new post for since November ’07. It gets between 500-800 unique visitors a day, almost all of them from Google. It will earn between $2-10 a day on Adsense.
If you’re depending on social referral traffic, you’ll quickly drop to almost no traffic, maybe 1-10 hits a day.

I always do. Sometimes I wish I can have all the time in the world to do everything, but life still has to go on with, or without my blog.

I think that is called the writer’s block. I have just came into your blog from a friend and suprised that your first post is about this. You do have an interesting blog. Take a good rest or holiday that you need. I hope to see you back at your creative self soon. Looking forward to it.
I have just started a blog together with my better half (my first actually) and am going through the growing pains… but it is a fun and rewarding learning experience. I guess not using a ‘real’ blogging engine adds to the experience also… :p

If you don’t have quality content on your site to survive on se traffic, you will get probably lost all bookmark/subscribe traffic.

Huh? What’s with Welly duplicating my comment?
CH Cheah, I wouldn’t call it writer’s block. More like, no time to blog?

One way to keep the blog going in slow times is to ask a question. Us an open ended question, and see what kind of responses you get. Those responses can be fuel for your next blog article. This has helped get me past writers block on many occasions.
