Who Blogs?

Blogs Attract Young, Wealthy Readers

Blog visitors are 11 percent more likely than the average Internet user to have incomes of $75,000 or more, and are 30 percent more likely to live in households headed by someone between the ages of 18 and 34, the study found.

During the first quarter, the average blog visitor viewed 77 percent more Web pages than the average Internet user, and spent 23 hours per week online, compared with 13 hours per week for the average user, according to the study. Regarding e-commerce behavior, blog visitors are 30 percent more likely to shop online than the average user.

Proof of the rising popularity of blogs is that about 50 million U.S. Internet users (about 30 percent of all U.S. Internet users) visited blog sites in the first quarter of 2005, up 45 percent compared with 2004's first quarter, according to the study.

The most popular type of blog is the political one, according to the study, which was sponsored by blogging software and service vendor Six Apart and by blog publisher Gawker Media.

The study was based on comScore's tracking of the online activity of over 2 million Internet users.

If what you say is true. (probably not)Then it sounds like blogs are just the cry baby rags of the wealthy. Get a job & get away fron the computer you rich idiots. Did it ever occur to you that housholds that dont make much income probably dont have compters, therefore they dont have access to blogs. (thus your skewed statistic) You should try actually researching something instead of just beleiving what dumb asses put on THEIR blogs

As a Fellow Florida blogger and voracious blog reader, I can only ask, "Where did the other two thirds of my salary go?"
