More People Are Reading Blogs (When Compared With Last Year)

Good news for bloggers! If you are lucky enough to have readers for your blog, they could be spending a greater amount of time reading your content.

An Internet user study conducted by Nielsen last month revealed that people 17% of people spent their Web surfing time on social networks and reading blogs. That number is close to triple what it was back in 2008.

“This growth suggests a wholesale change in the way the Internet is used,” said Jon Gibs, the vice president of media and agency insights at Nielsen’s online division.

“While video and text content remain central to the web experience, the desire of online consumers to connect, communicate and share is increasingly driving the medium’s growth.”
