Blogging's Impact on Search Position Quantified
Search Engine Watch has an article about search's impact on PR and reputation management. Blogs are featured at the end of the piece. However, one statistic really jumped out at me.
According to Converseon's study of the top 20 search engine listings for the BusinessWeek 100 brands in July 2005, 39% of the top search listings were derived from consumer-generated media such as blogs. Based on this study, Converseon estimated there are 16,000 flame sites web-wide and growing.
Very interesting... I had no idea people really cared that much. The influence of blogs is, I think, due largely to the number of them. But I just wonder what could be done if all the blogging time spent by these millions of people could be applied to one task :)
