Blog Stats

Looking for Blog Stats? The BlogSearchengine.com did a survey recently and found out some interesting things.

One has to remember though that it’s a survey among hardcore bloggers, as it’s done with people who submitted their blog to the search engine. Still.

_

Bloggers are quite active online, 52.8% of all bloggers surveyed update their blogs atleast once a day.

While most bloggers do not blog only at work (only 4.8% do), 53% of those bloggers surveyed do blog in the workplace (at work, or at both home and work).

While most bloggers only own one blog, a large amount, 43.8%, own more than one blog._ (I have the OUBS Blog as a repository for my summaries of my management studies for example.)

_* Only 13.4% of the bloggers surveyed run advertising in their blogs. Recently a large amount of advertising networks including BlogAds, Google’s AdSense (no personal blogs), and Skoobie have been open to running ads on smaller web sites and blogs.

An overwhelming amount of bloggers, 90.7%, have never been contacted by a company or organization with product or service information, asking the blogger to blog about them. This may be because the public relations industry has yet to direct a large amount of its efforts towards bloggers._

It seems that most use Google’s Blogger service. Strangely enough, most stuff that I find uses MovableType like me or has moved over to TypePad.
