Attn: all Bloggers,
David Sifry, Founder & CEO of Technorati, has released Technorati’s quartely state of the Blogosphere report…
Here are some of the main points of interest:
Technorati now tracks almost 58 Million blogs
Today, the blogosphere is doubling in size approximately every 230 days
About 100,000 new weblogs were created each day, again down slightly quarter-over-quarter but probably due in part to spam fighting efforts
There is a strong correlation between the aging and post frequency of blogs and their authority and Technorati ranking
Technorati tracks an average of 1.3 million Blog posts daily
About 4% of new splogs (garbage, Spam Blogs) get past Technorati’s filters, even if it is only for a few hours or days
Spam-, splog- and sping-fighting efforts at Technorati are paying dividends in terms of the reduction of garbage in our indexes, even if it does seem to impact overall growth rates. For instance, one quarter ago, Technorati reported that the number of new Blogs added daily to their index was actually 8%
The globalization of the blogosphere continues. Our data appears to show both English and Spanish languages are a more universal blog language than the other two most dominant language, Japanese and Chinese, which seem to be more regionally localized
Coincident with a rise in blog posts about escalating Middle East tensions throughout the summer and fall, Farsi has moved into the top 10 languages of the blogosphere, indicating that blogging continues to play a critical role in debates about the important issues of our times
