UK internet traffic to blogs at all time high

I know this news has been around for ages (well, days) but it’s interesting nonetheless – especially as reliable data on social media in the UK is few and far between.

Robin Goad from web analytics firm, Hitwise, has published findings that show:

  • Blogs account for 1.19% of all UK traffic, equivalent to one in every 84 internet visits
  • UK traffic to
    blogs has increased much quicker than traffic to ‘News and
    Media’ sites – 208% increase compared to 70%
  • However in terms of overall volume, traffic to the latter
    is still larger
