I just read the interesting facts below.


One quarter of all Internet users read blogs - roughly 32 million American adults.
9% of all Internet users say they've created a blog.
American young adults, classified as ages 18-29, are most actively involved with blogging. 19% have created blogs and 36% read them.
18% of Internet users over 50 years of age read blogs.
Men and women are represented nearly equally in the blog-reading population.
So the audience is definitely there, but what are they reading? Everything under the sun, from plastic surgery to biking across New Zealand. Closer to home, blogs track performance marketing strategies and the opinions of a host of online marketing professionals. The point here is that you've got a great deal of people reading a great deal of highly-targeted content.

Very interesting statistics MPK :)

Do we blog our sitemaps within our content also? Or just link off to single pages.

I have been seeing readers in my hosting stats comming from sites like technorati.com after I uploaded wordpress on an lesbian domain, been hitting this blog with lesbian text content bought from Zipcontent (Zipcontent rock BTW)

Anyhow I enjoy testing different methods and right now i'm drinking a beer at 8:40am Saturday morning, so see how drinking beer and spending time blogging can improve my day. Feeling a bit down today, it must be a december thing.
