David Sifry of Technorati has posted the most recent State of the Blogosphere update. This new update comes six months after his previous update. His summary:
- Technorati was tracking over 14.2 Million weblogs, and over 1.3 billion links in July 2005
- The blogosphere continues to double about every 5.5 months
- A new blog is created about every second, there are over 80,000 created daily
- About 55% of all blogs are active, and that has remained a consistent statistic for at least a year
- About 13% of all blogs are updated at least weekly
It's a good read. David says he's going to talk about post volume tomorrow, but what I am looking forward to is this:
Later in the week I'll also describe the rise of tags, spam (or fake) blogs and SEO
