Is 100k enough? Blogger Pro now has a 100k per month limit on the posts that you can make. After that stage it costs an additional $3 per 100k to run. initially I was very comfortable with this amount, but having checked out my usage (there is a link on the bottom of the Blogger Pro front page), I have realised that for plasticbag.org alone I have only been under this usage limit once in the last year. If I were running multiple blogs, no doubt the figure would increase dramatically.
I may be an exception – so I don’t want to protest too loudly – but it occurs to me that if I am not, Ev’s statement that 100k is “substantially more than the vast majority of bloggers publish – even with multiple blogs – so you probably won’t have to worry about it” may be misguided. So I am going to ask people to post up their usage figures for the last year on their weblogs. It’s important – I think – that people understand what they are actually paying for.
