Who are we?

Who are we?

: Henry Copeland is doing something very important for the business of weblogs (again): He’s sponsoring a survey of blog-reader demographics here.

Go take the survey.

At Question #22 please enter buzzmachine. That way, I can get a picture of who you are.

This is something we all talked about at Bloggercon in the session on blogs and business. It is vital that we get a picture of how big this community is and who’s in it to get credibility with not only advertisers but also reporters: It’s the proof that we’re not all just a bunch of 17-year-old cat owners (not that there’s anything wrong with that).

Someone we all know is working on another kind of survey that will also be helpful and I’m working on getting some funding to help arrange that. More soon.

In the meantime, go take the survey Henry and Blogads are so generously paying for here.

    yeah, like I’m going to let you figure out who I am. I’d probably throw a monkey wrench in your demographics anyway.

    How much does the survey pay you to answer its questions?

    Sorry, but I killed it after the fifth re-start of “updating” message. Is it a bug/worm?

    I started the survey at 4 and just finished it. It timed out after filling out each page. I clicked back here for the link and it just started me on the next page as if an hour hadn’t passed in between. Glad it assigned a survey number. Traffic?

    Nah. One of the demographics being tested for is “Running Internet Explorer With All Virus Enhancers Enabled.” No others need attempt.

    No one is going to take a self-selected survey like this seriously, Jeff — you surely know this from your day job.
