The web is now littered with dead blogs. According to the New York Post, there were 200,000 abandoned blogs … in 2007. According to Richard Jalichandra of Technorati, the number of abandoned blogs is anywhere from 7 to 10 million in 2009.
Why do people abandon their blogs? Why do they start them in the first place? Too many have bought into the rags to riches stories of self-employed bloggers or have run out of topics, energy or desire to update. Now that reality has hit home, these dead blogs litter the web like dead leaves in November.

Wow, that’s a lot of blogs! They would be useful if they had at least PR1 and were do follow

I had about 20 do nothing blogs, I sold them all and invested that money into buying new domains and started making better niche money sites.
