…that in 2009 there were almost 4.0 million mom bloggers taking on the Blogosphere by storm?! And the numbers have only grown!
…that in March 2009 a study conducted by BlogHer found that for women ages 18-77, 72.5% of them were blogging?
…that 79% of women with children ages 18 & under are involved in some sort of social media whether it’s blogging, facebook, twitter, or any other social media platform (or in most of our cases, all of the above?)
…that mom bloggers are 78% more influential than celebrities when selling a product?
…that 18.3 million internet users who are moms read blogs at least once a month?
…87.1 million women online are active on a weekly basis in social media (including blog interactions, Facebook, message boards, and other social networking sites). (Direct Quote from Wendy Piersall)
…for the 20+ million BlogHer Network audience, engaging in reading blogs is their number one regular online activity, above watching TV, visiting Facebook, or reading other traditional media sources such as newspapers or magazines. (Direct quote from Wendy Piersall)
…that only 13% of mom bloggers write about parenting and 9% about family updates. Which shows that 91% of moms are not writing about family updates & 87% of moms aren’t writing about parenting, mom bloggers are writing about topics other than being a mom! (Also from Wendy Piersall)
…that the majority of women who read blogs/write blogs are also participating in a HIGH number of other social media outlets.

“…that women bloggers basically rock?!” Heck, yes!!! Not only are you one of them, but you get bonus points for pointing out the stats on what we’re doing! And the next person who rolls their eyes at the concept of blogging, will be directly promptly to this post! Woohoo! :>
Wow! Never knew that so many of us were out there socializing. But I guess I should have known…we are women right? That’s what we like to do best!
These numbers surprise me in a way but they also don’t surprise me. There are a lot of bloggers out there.
We absolutely do rock!

Women drive the economy, and it’s about time marketing realized that!
Cool stats! But…
…women ages 18-77, 72.5% of them were blogging…
That doesn’t sound right considering that other than me, maybe 1 other woman I know in real life has a blog. Of course BlogHer was probably polling mostly Bloggers 🙂
GIRL, we totally rock!!! 🙂 It’s all in the numbers!
Interesting stats! I had no idea how big the blogging world was until that past year! Yes, we rock. 🙂
Wow these are great stats! We do rock!!!

That’s pretty darn cool. Something to tell people next time they say Kim Kardashian is more influencial then me (and our whole collective).
Fantastic!!
I agree, we rock!
We don’t always talk about our families or our mommyness
We talk about issues and products!
We are making changes and involved in our communities!

Like we need stats to tell us how much we rock … one night in the twitter stream is all it takes …
We RAWR and we call out our HAWTness 😉
Wow – those stats are crazy! I’d always heard there was a large number of mom bloggers out there – but I had no idea. We do rock! 😉
