I have just finished collecting the data from the blogging survey and ended up with data from 39 bloggers.
39 participants might not seem as many, but I hope it can somewhat paint a picture of the worldwide blogging community - if not, then at least it was fun and hopefully a survey can be done again some time in the future, with more bloggers participating.
If you would like to see charts of other things related to the blogging survey, or if you would like them presented in another way, please comment and I will see what I can do.

39 isn’t that many, but it’s a good number nonetheless. A well written Survey and now results to show for it. Good work undersigned.

i was surprised by the popularity of starting a blog in 2002 (relative to the years between then and now).
i’m guessing that the wordpress results are a little skewed by the poll being hosted on a wordpress tips and tricks blog, but it’s still cool.

I’m curious as to whether the “ad money earned” and “# of visitors” is per month?
The survey, while small, still reveals some interesting statistics.

Ouch !! The results are quite shocking. I guess its because most of your readers are professional bloggers themselves ;)

Question 11 is poorly worded and doesn’t make sense, it took me a while before I realized what you were asking.
Should read: 11. Does the total number of visitors on your blog count more to you than the number of visitors who comment on your blog posts?
