Explosive Growth for Blogs and Social Sites

A report released by Nielsen Online in October shows that social networking and blogging are still attracting large numbers of people although some sites and platforms are benefiting more than others. Here are a few excerpts from the report:

Social Networking Sites

Myspace.com - over 58.8 million unique visitors in October. Up 19% over the previous October.
Facebook - more than 19.5 million unique vistors. Up 125% over October/06.
LinkedIn - 4.9 million unique visitors. Up 189% from the previous year.
Club Penguin - 3.88 million visitors. Up 157%.
Buzznet - 2.39 million visitors. Up 117%

Surprisingly, LinkedIn showed the most explosive growth with Club Penguin and Buzznet attracting users almost as quickly as Facebook. Not all sites, however, showed positive trends. Classmates Online (-2%), AOL People
Connection (-30%), AOL Hometown (-15%) and Reunion.com (-14%) were on a downward trend.

On the blogging front, Blogger and WordPress.com led the pack with growth rates of 58% and 444% respectively.
Thatsfit and Gizmodo posted much lower unique vistor numbers but rapid overall growth with reported increases
of 389% and 127% respectively.

A summary of the report can be found at the Center for Media Research.

 This is great news for bloggers and social networkers as well as unorthodox marketers every where,

 Happy Marketing,

Read that one more time, it’s a serious question that you should be
pondering, contemplating and then acting on.

I heard this question asked recently and it really made me stop and
think. I hope you are not wasting your time on the small stuff.

Set your sights high and keep going until you get to where you want
to be.

Never give up - Never Quit!
