I'll be heading out to Salt Lake City, Utah this afternoon to visit the good folks at MyFamily, Inc., and won't be back home until Friday evening. You'll probably see a lot fewer blog postings from me over the next few days.

While our company is establishing itself as a weblog publisher, it's actually our websites that generate most of our business. I'd say somewhere around 75% of our total traffic flows through our websites, and they earn about 90% of our income. And MyFamily still accounts for the lion's share of our income, with AdSense on a course to catch up, and Harris Digital Publishing a distant third.

The outlook in the online genealogy publishing market is uncertain. It doesn't look like the market will be as lucrative as it once was, perhaps due to a variety of factors. For one, MyFamily's suite of web properties just isn't all that popular as it once was. There is also a whole new series of other websites offering new content for free. Interment.net, one of our properties, has long published valuable genealogical content and made it available for free.

Some affiliates in this sphere are blaming sites like Interment.net, accusing them of contributing to overall lower sales for MyFamily.

The conference starts tomorrow. So, we'll what happens.
