Blogging 2.0
Posted by Stowe Boyd
Over at A VC is an interesting post about Blogging 2.0, which he asserts involves the blog networks of folks like Jason Calcanis and Nick Denton; once again, Corante (despite being 47 yesterday on the PubSub most linked to rankings) goes unmentioned.
Note this Alexa graph that compares the growth of Corante readership with Always On, another media concern that gets way more ink than us.
While they seem to have stabilized, we have grown readership 300% since October!

Stowe,
Come on, beating Always on means nothing we both know that (sorry Tony). always on is one tiny niche B2B blog... it's not a network. :-)
Take a look at Corante vs. just two of the Gawker and Weblogsinc.com blogs--it's not even close! These charts show just two of each networks blogs... I'm leaving out a dozens of other domains! I'd be surprised if Corante had 5-10% of the traffic WIN or Gawker have.

Technorati links are way overrated when determining the value of a business. Media business are--and have always been--driven first by traffic. Traffic=influence... not links.
All this mumbo-jumbo, Dave Sifry, new age, "links=a business" is just silly--for real. People are gaming Technorati all day long, and technorati ranking are more a function of how long you've been blogging then how popular you are.
Show me the traffic! :-)

Everyone who makes over 33% profit margins on their network selling to IBM, Sun, Accenture, Audi etc. raise their hands!
BTW, Our biggest month ever was January, up 100% for a year earlier, so I am not sure where those numbers are coming from.
Be sure to watch for our blogozine due March 1st - it is pretty kick-ass (and profitable).
Love to all my *friends* in the blogosphere.
