BIG NEWS;Large Scale Research Shows Which Web 2.0 Sites Get Highest Rankings

ewenmack · 11-05-2009, 12:38 PM

Tim Godfrey over at theinternetmarketingblueprint has just published the results of extensive research on web 2.0 sites.

He's got the hard data as to which one of them shows up the most in search engine rankings.

Take it away Tim...

"Interesting fact #1 - 15% of all keywords had an Ezine article in the top 10 listings!

Interesting fact #2 - Excluding Ezine articles, roughly 7% of the keywords had at least 1 web 2.0 platform in the top 10 listings.

Interesting fact #3 - Squidoo, Hubpages, youtube, and facebook all had about the same penetration (roughly 2.5% of the keywords) … Wordpress.com, typepad, dig, and scribed were about 1/2 the of those…coming in at about 1-1.25% of the keywords.

Interesting fact #4 - blogspot.com was the big winner. For a keyword that has a web 2.0 platform in the top 10 organic results, it’s almost 3x more likely to be blogspot.com than anything else"

Thanks Tim

Interesting Fact #2 - Roughly 93% of the keywords did not have a web 2.0 platform in the top 10

It's all in how you spin it. How does this conclude that Web 2.0 sites are any better than any other site? Answer: It doesn't.

Numbers can "prove" whatever you want them to prove.
