Dave Sifry – the CEO of Technorati – has published his latest State of the Blogosphere in two posts: Part 1: Blog Growth and Part 2: Posting Volume – that looks at the growth of the Blogosphere over the past six months. Some fun facts (as of July 30, 2005) follow:
- Technorati tracks 14.2m blogs and 1.3m links, about double what it tracked six months ago
- Technorati tracks 80,000 newly created blogs each day (a blog every second)
- Technorati tracks 900,000 blog posts each day (10.4 posts a second)
- 55% of the blogs Technorati tracks has a post in the past three months.
- 18% of the blogs Technorati tracks has a post in the past week.
- The weekend posting average is 5% – 10% less then the daily posting average.
Dave has more coming this week (Part 3 – coming tomorrow – includes the growth of tagging).
Hey. Im a big fan of Technorati and other’s indexing and delivering real time results on todays internet. Couple questions – there was an initial bit of blogosphere backlash to technorati offering a competitive intelligence product to companies wanting to see what is said about them and competition in the blogosphere (and internet in general) and I was wondering what you thought about that. And secondly, where is technorati going in terms of advertising / adsense / cost per click / auctions / blogs etc.. esp with the growth that adbrite (30% per month) and related players like feedster (with their network, aol deal etc) and even feedburner on rss side.. Is the revenue scaling with usage ? or is too early to monetise today and tomorrow’s internet ? Nice1 Brad, Ben1
