Blogs are influencing purchase decisions and recommendations more than ever. According to Technorati’s State of the Blogosphere report, 38% of bloggers talk about brands positively and negatively on their blogs, and 34% write product, service, and brand reviews. This is happening more and more because consumers trust each other a lot more than they trust advertisers messages but let’s also remember that people are not going to seek Bloggers advice on every product.
Burst Media surveyed 1,453 U.S. online adults aged 18 or older to learn how independent web audiences interact with and use social media, how blogs and bloggers influence purchase decisions, and the impact of socially enabled display advertising. One of the key findings was that Bloggers cast an influential net with their audiences. Of respondents who visit or read blogs, 2-in-3 (65.5%) say a brand mention or promotion within context of the blog influences their purchasing decisions.
