According to Technorati founder David Silfry, there are more than 4 million blogs in existence today, with a new one being created every 7 seconds.

Nearly half of those are abandoned within six months of publication. That leaves 2 million, which is still a lot. Of that number, there are only about 5,000 corporate blogs.

Here's the real point I want to make from what he said. . .

Sites that have RSS feeds typically have more inbound links than those sites that choose not to publish a feed. And those non-feed bloggers are still the majority with only 31.2% of blogs syndicating via a RSS feed.

Most popular blogging platforms include the capability of syndicating content. If yours does not, I recommend you read this article by Amy Gahran called How to Create Your Own RSS Feed (Amy is a very practical person when it comes to article titles.) It's an excellent primer on the subject.
