I really enjoyed reading it when I got your email.</p> <p>My blog is for the Sandwich Generation senior home care giver and grandparent. Most of my readers are probably in the Baby Boom Generation but some are, of course, older and younger. As an encouragement to others, I wanted to share that it's wonderfully amazing how many senior adults are online and not just to see grandkid pix, though you are totally right that we're doing that OFTEN :) </p> <p>You also made an excellent point about being ahead of the curve. Many of us "grew up" with computers. We were in our late 20s when the first home computers hit and it was my dad-in-law who introduced us to them in the first place. Which means there are plenty of seniors who are much older than me who are still using them. And plenty more coming right after me. We just have to figure out ways to increase the print size, work easier with arthritis, etc. :)</p> Very interesting article. I really enjoyed reading it when I got your email.

Most of them have the impression that blog is something that is only used by people between the age group of 10-25 and that older people don't even know what blogs are but as the statistics you have given prove that the avergae age of blog users are in the 30's. If used correctly it is indeed a very powerful of method to affect SERPs and drive more targetted traffic.</p> That scenario is pretty much which I encounter most of the time whilst helping out people/clients.
