Although many people struggle with maintaining a decent level of traffic, some people struggle with even getting traffic. You may be thinking, they do not promote their site, or do seo. But it is a different, the blog has done minor promotion, and some on site seo. But the real problem is the fact that the blog is dead. The definition of dead/death, according to Wikipedia is “death is the cessation of the biological functions that define living organisms. It refers both to a specific event and, particularly in humans… today, where a definition of the moment of death is required” As the definition says, it can refer to a specific event, like a blog, it also says that everything must die, it is required. So what does the definition help you with? The realization that your blog will eventually die, and the fact that a blog could even die.
Whenever someone is sick they go to a doctor. Why not do the same for your blog. Diagnose the problems on your blogs and fix them, just like curing a cold. A useful site to check your sites errors can be found here. Once you type in your site scroll down and read what it says. It is very, very useful. Once you fix all/most of your errors you are in good shape. So you now have gone to the doctor, but you are progressively getting sicker and sicker. So you decide to go to a specialist. The specialist suggest you write 20 articles to post on your blog over the next few weeks.
You keep getting sicker and sicker and you eventually die. But once all people die they get an autopsy. Give an autopsy to your blog, find out what you did wrong. Looking back at your mistakes will help you for the next time you start blogging.

Blogging IS dead. Too many people are participating and not spectating any more.
And not all errors are created equal. CS3 Validator data can be misleading and out of most peoples skill set.
Brooks, you have a good point. CS3 is out of most people skills set, but for some it can be very useful.
for me, a dead blog is one which has not been updated for a long period of time or a blog rarely been updated. If the frequency of a post in a blog increasing having a big gap, it’s a stale blog and eventually become a dead blog.
Interesting analogy…
Eric, good point, I like that idea also.
Julian, thanks.
Even if your blog validates id does not make it any good and will not bring you any traffic. I’ve heard so much nonsense from people abscessed with w3c…
Post regularly and provide quality ORIGINAL content if you want blog to survive…
It’s amazing
