5 Predictions About Blogging Industry in 2015!
Many newbie bloggers ask me for predictions about blogging industry, as you all know that it is a randomly changing industry. Here is my blog on the 5 predictions about blogging industry in 2015.
Last week I thought to write on this topic and I in fact write the same too. Even I created a post on how to generate online leads for a company too, but unfortunately the system of mine got crashed and I was forced to format the same. This being the reason why I did not get the chance to post those blog posts.
I needed to write those posts once again and here I am doing the same. Many bloggers have concerns about the future of blogging industry. There are some people who wanted to be a blogger as well, but they too did not get the courage to be a blogger, since they know that it is a randomly changing industry.
Here are those five predictions which I can think about the blogging industry in 2015:
The importance of quality content is ever increasing. With the constant changes in Google algorithms, as far as SEO is concerned, the content of any blog is becoming more and more important for the popularity of any blog. Gone are the days when people use to think that they can post anything on their blog and visitors will visit their blog to read the same.
It is the day when bloggers use to write informative, lengthy and useful content, else Google will throw them out of the competition and visitors wonβt visit them. So if you ask me 2015 will be the year of informative and useful content, this being the reason why I would suggest every blogger to emphasize on putting quality content on their website.

One thing is for sure, blogging is becoming the most happening thing these days. It is the reason why brands and companies understand the importance of blogging towards their online marketing campaigns. This is the reason why brands are showing more and more interest towards sponsoring quality blogs.
If you ask me 2015 will be the year when more brands will come ahead for the collaboration with different bloggers and sponsor them for writing for their websites. Ideally businesses should have a business blog on their main website too.

Since blogging is attracting different groups of people, even students are becoming a blogger these days. This being the reason why different creative minds are coming into blogging and thus the competition about blogs are becoming tougher these days.
2015 will be the year when many new people will join hands in blogging and this will seriously create issue for old bloggers. If you are into blogging since last 5-6 years, and doing the things in the right way, you need not to worry about it, though if you are still going by the old rules of blogging then it is the time to think about your blogging strategy.
Try to come up with informative and useful posts for your readers so that they can get the satisfaction when they reach to your website and read it. Think about developing your blog for making your readers happy. This is something which Google is even emphasizing these days and if you can be able to do so will help you in natural search engine optimization of your website as well.
Think about the competition and try to overcome them. You should also read my blog on 7 ingredients which can make your blog a successful one.
Many bloggers do consider that earning money from their blog is the only motto why they became a blogger. Frankly speaking monetizing your blog should not be the only goal of yours if you are into blogging. Although let me tell you the fact that since brands are coming ahead to collaborate with serious bloggers, I guess 2015 and coming years are definitely going to be good for bloggers who are trying to monetize their blog.
The only thing which is required from bloggers is their professional approach towards blogging. Try to develop content for your blog in a professional manner, try to develop the look and feel of your blog in a professional way.
As I said many a times that blogging is not all about earning huge money from your blog, the first target of any blogger should be to earn respect among readers. It will help you to build authority and it will actually help your blog to monetize as well.
As far as monetizing a blog is concerned, I guess here are the three blogs of mine which can be useful and worth for you:
How to Make Money from Blogging and one more blog with the same title.
How Can You Earn From Your Blog?
If you are not serious about the bounce rate of your website or the time spent by your visitors, then I guess it is the time to think about them. 2015 and coming years are the age when bloggers must need to think about some vital stats on their blog. These are the bounce rate, site loading time, time spent on your blog, etc. of your blog.
Remember Google is too serious about the user satisfaction and these are some of the terms to measure the same. These are some of the vital stats based on which Google decides the quality of your blog and ranks them accordingly.
Do remember the fact that if you clicked on any link of your site (on some other site) and it is taking hell lot of time to load, then it is a sign of danger for you. Donβt forget to check these blog posts of mine which might help you to focus on these things:

It is almost the end of the first quarter of the year 2015, but still 9 more months are there in the year 2015 and I guess you all can take benefit of the tips which I shared here in coming days. Before the end of the year I will come up with another post which should explain about the things which can be useful at that time or for the coming year.

The only thing which is required from bloggers is their professional approach towards blogging. Try to develop content for your blog in a professional manner, try to develop the look and feel of your blog in a professional way. very informative post indeed . you are being Guru of the blogging shri Alok ji. I feel fortunate that I have a chance to read you. The points you describe are really workable .
Thank you so so much Yogi Saraswat jee, in fact it is my fortune that my blog have readers like you. Thank you so much for appreciating myself…
Nice post and I am glad you talked about good content. I generally see bloggers lack that and many just post anything for the sake of increasing posts. Another thing that made me happy brands will collaborate but in the same context bloggers must be paid rightly too.
Absolutely correct Manjulika. It is also a fact that brands don’t compensate bloggers in right proportion, but it all depends on how good a blogger can negotiate and had built his blog in a professional way. π
Very precise predictions Alok. I agree with all your points.
Thank you so much Vishal π I am glad that you liked it….
instructive as always

Informative post!
(1) can you please write the acceptable %age of the bounce rate?
Mine has gone up from 6% to 60% recently, the website is http://www.adityagreens.com
(2) I request you to please brief about my website like its quality of content and length of the articles.
Regards,
Yash
Hi Yash, first of all, there is not such thing which you can claim as acceptable percentage of bounce rate. Let me tell you it all depends on your own site. If your website is a one page website and selling some product of third party website, and it is getting millions of traffic, but the bounce rate of the same will be certainly 100%, but it will be good for you.
On the other hand a visitor is visiting your site, and clicking on some ads and disappears, it will certainly increase your bounce rate, but it will also increase your earning which you will love too.
So the point is it all depends on each individual website, though less than 60% is considered as a decent value.
In your case when I found that it increase from 6% to 60%, the first thing which came into my mind is that your website must be displaying two blocks of code of Google Analytics, and in fact it is true too. As far as I checked your site, I found two blocks of the same Analytics accounts code placed on your site. It is the reason why it is showing so low. I would request you to remove one block of codes and then see the real value.
If it is certainly 60% from 6% then it is a serious matter of concern for you, but if it is because of that error, then you should rectify it and see the real results.
Will certainly brief you about your website soon. Thanks for visiting my site and sharing your comment with us.
A very useful post Alok. Nice to know that blogging is treated as an industry and the predictions look really good for what I would like to focus on in the near future. I am still struggling to get my site up on google and make it appear more often, guess I need to make a more focussed approach on it. Monetizing is a good thing cos it keeps the energy going and makes us focus on it better. I am still struggling to get there, but also kinda enjoying the process. Still would love to make it big on the traffic front though π
Very interesting post.. let us see how the blogging industry takes shape. One thing I hope is that brands start taking bloggers seriously and engage for promotions as professionals and not as freebie or favor.
Thank you Prasad.
I am joyful to read this post, its an attractive one. Thanks for this amazing post… I am always searching for quality posts and articles and this is what I found here, I hope you will be adding more in future. Thanks..
Thank you so much Vinayak. I too hope so. π
