Some very interesting Blog statistics from comScore's study
Recently, I came across a very interesting study done by comScore. Below are some statistics you might find useful or interesting to know.
Quoting from the comScore study:
1) Of 400 of the biggest blogs observed, segmented by seven (nonexclusive) categories, political blogs were the most popular, followed by "hipster" lifestyle blogs, tech blogs and blogs authored by women (hey.. so my blog has a potential to be popular - mine is a tech blog authored by a woman! :) )
Check out the statistics below:
2) Compared to an average Internet user, blog readers are significantly more likely to live in wealthier households, be younger and connect to the Web on high-speed connections.
Check out the statistics below:
(mmm... oh well, for this one, I think it does apply to me. See, I am young, and connected to the web on hgh speed internet. Still need some more time to be wealthy though...)
3) Blog readers also visit nearly twice as many web pages as the Internet average, and they are much more likely to shop online.
(For this one, I think it is just a corelation but not a cause and effect! Personally, I browse a lot of pages and shop online a lot before I became a blogger! I bought books, cosmetics, threatre tickets online way before I became a blogger!)
4) Blogspot.com (Blogger.com), was launched in 1999 by Pyra Labs, and now owned by Google, is the most popular blog host. (Now you know why I switched my blog here!) Believe it or not, once I host my blog with blogspot.com, the traffic to my blog increased. I kept track of the blog traffic using statcounter, a very good free web statistics software. Check it out and see if it is good for your use (The free version has some limitations). See below for the traffic distribution for different blog hosts:

huh.. luv this !
These stats seem to describe me pretty well haha. That's interesting to have these demographics laid out like this.
Wow.. interesting statistics. It's crazy how much these stats mirror myself and my friends who blog. Creepy... am I being watched too?
Its nice starting a personnel blog which is good in telling you how much traffic comes to you, but writing a blog is not a child’s play. You must have good experience of at least writing and listening. All the good writers are who speak lesser and listen more.
It took me a long time to search online, only your site open up the fully details, bookmarked and thanks again.
