2003 Year of the Blog! |
2003 - Year of the Blog; Internet as a News Source.
OJR: Blogs Go Highbrow and Lowbrow; Net Playing Growing Role in U.S. Elections Mark Glaser has declared 2003 "the Year of the Blog" for good reason I think. He also looks at the fact that the internet really is gaining traction as a general and political news source:
Again, these numbers show incremental growth and a steady erosion for network TV as the be-all, end-all for political and general news. Few people are predicting the demise of TV news, and it will remain a force for visual journalism. But the Internet is taking its place as a popular source for deeper information, especially for people looking for alternative viewpoints. Good news for internet publishers, and I think eventually all marketers as they learn to use the internet as a part of their total marketing mix. [MarketingFix] |
Alexa Ranking Goes Daily. |
Alexa, the web search traffic ranking site, use to update its rankings every couple of weeks - now rankings are done on a daily basis. This could now be a great tool for monitoring buzz. By example, here is the rankings for MarketingFix. Our official rank (and remember that this is a very new site), based on a 3 months average is 48,129, and our 1 week rank is 31,710. However our rank today is 25,663, demonstrating that we are getting more and more popular. Now just to test it our ;-) if you go and tell all you colleagues what a truly wonderful site this is, and that they should check us out immediately, let's see if we can hit the top 5,000 by tomorrow :-) [MarketingFix] |
