Tony,
I would venture a guess that is correct. Its become so easy to set up, that it almost seems counterproductive (particularly in adult).
Some ideas that programs could use to optimize using blogs:
1) Open up a blog for affiliates and push subscriptions on webmasters. This is a great solution for any program, content provider or traffic aggregator. Webmaster newsletters are really going the wayside due to saturation and spam filters. Subscribers get your message instantaneously.
2) If you have a blog for surfers, push all the traffic generation ideas on them. For example, install sociable and push them to use it (and use it yourself). Really push for subscriptions, I don't see enough blogs doing that. Many mainstream blogs make a post a month requesting subscribers, or they make mention of it in random post.
3) Provide quality feeds and moreover, provide instructions on how to use them. So much business is lost these days due to programs marketing towards those that already know how to utilize this arena. Why not get those guys that are established in other areas to give you a try?
4) Look over some of the things Jace and Edgeprod are working on. They really offer some outstanding solutions. Working with Jace on a blog setup is an outstanding way to get the ball rolling.
That was just a general statement, not aimed at you or your knowledge base.
