Bloggers Have Never Had It So Good - Hitwise

According to Hitwise UK visits to bloggs reached an all time high in the weeke endign 7/6/2008 with their tracked list of blogs and personal websites accounting for 1.19% of all Internet traffic - or 1 in every 84 visits.

That may not sound like a great deal to some, but just look at the growth:



The interesting fact is that blogs are being seen as a reliable, or at the very least an entertaining form of news and reviews with their growth being 171% over the past three years with the News category increasing 70%.

Another interesting fact is that blogs are visted half as much more (as a percentage of all visits) in the UK than the US with 1.09% visits during May in the UK compared to 0.73% in the US. UK bloggers are leading the way then ;-)

It'll be interesting to see how this trend carries on into Christmas, but it's good to see this informal product / news information format gaining more eyeballs.
