My annual State of Blogging survey


Hey Reader,

Have you been publishing content this year? I want to hear how it's going. I just opened the doors to my annual State of Blogging Survey for 2026 and the responses are already rolling in.

We're collecting data on what's working & what's not in the world of SEO, content, AI, and video marketing.

In this short 4 minute survey, you'll be a huge part of revealing the answers to:

  • How much traffic are website owners & creators gaining (or losing) to AI overviews?
  • Which SEO and marketing tactics are bringing your the most traffic & customers today?
  • Where AI is involved in your marketing workflows, which tools you're using, and more…

Come join us and participate in this year's State of Blogging survey today.

We'll be sharing our collected data & actionable insights with you, based on everything we uncover—before anyone else gets it. Come participate in the biggest annual survey on the state of modern blogging.
