Celebrity gossip blogs lead the charge

Think you aren’t getting enough readers or hits on your blog? Perhaps you are blogging the wrong content. With the exception of Huffington Post, Daily Kos, and Engadget, the top blogs with respect to readership are celebrity gossip blogs. Of course, Rosie O’Donnell seems to hold her own in that list and her recent spat with Wrong-Hair Trump seems to have helped boost hits.

So much for the wisdom of the crowds, eh? If blog/online readers want trashy celebrity gossip, there are getting oodles of it. Perez Hilton in spite of being sued for millions by ethically-dubious paparazzi-encouraging Hollywood photo agency continues to climb the charts. Now won’t someone copy this blogging model for India and earn their millions. I am sure we don’t have any different tastes.

    Sqrl, I am no fan of gossip blog but yup, Ash loves Go Fug Yourself too :) but I guess, it isn’t too trashy or sensational for popular taste…probably that modicum of intelligence hinders its popularity.

    I too fail to understand why the fascination for the sordid details of celebrity lives is reaching dizzying heights globally…..gone are the days when people would just briefly thumb through the entertainment section of a mainstream newspaper, sad but true!

    Orchid, unfortunately the entertainment section is now THE newspaper. The market for gossip is much larger than I thought.
