Would like to know were you extracted that stats from?

Well, at least 90% of real estate professionals start out with business in mind. The problem with our industry is that people can easily lose their purpose and get caught up in the noise.

I do agree that a lot of agent’s blogs could fall into that category. Very interesting stats, I would of never guessed that personal blog percentage would be so high.

A blog does have the potential to help future customers better relate to a real estate agent. So, I guess we would be harder to classify!

Actually we don't fit into any of these categories because we are not a "blog" ... we are a professionally run (30 years of journalism) commercial neighborhood-news site -- original coverage 7 days a week, occasional links out when there's something we just can't/didn't get ourselves -- that happens to publish in blog "format," newest first, short bursts sometimes, long articles other times. We evolved FROM a personal blog, and we're kind of stuck with blog in our name because that's become our brand and I don't know if I'm ready for a Bon Marche/Bon Macy's/Macy's transition yet ... but just for the record, we don't consider ourselves a "blog" at all ... we're a news website. Good topic! Thanks for mentioning us.
