Hitwise Blog

Hitwise Blog is a blog created by Hitwise, a internet trafficresearch company which describes itself as "the leader in onlinecompetitive intelligence". The blog is written by six 'analysts', and focuses on issues that relate to business, lifestyle and internet usage.

Hitwise enjoys an excellent reputation as a reliable source of information on internet usage trends, and is frequently quoted by other media such as The Guardian, Cnet News, and TechCrunch. While the main site is extremely well designed and technicallyadvanced, the blog itself is fairly basic, but is easy to read and navigate.

Just under half of the Hitwise Blog’s traffic comes fromthe US, with the UK, Australia and India well represented amongreaders. The blog has the facility for comments but none are posted, perhaps due to having other avenues for discussion on the main site.

The blog doesn’t feature any advertising as it is run as a promotionaltool in itself, to add depth to the Hitwise site. However, film makers could potentially get their films featured in a blog post.
