Tiny Sites Aren't Small Potatoes

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the making-up-for-it-in-volume dept.

xtrucial writes "Jakob Nielsen of usability fame has a new article up about the perhaps-unexpected power of tiny websites: 'Considering that the Web as a whole will have about 4 trillion page views this year, the [low-traffic] sites might seem irrelevant with their pitiful millions of page views. But within their niche they dominate.'" (In particular, Nielsen is talking about weblogs.)

  1. Will weblogs go out of "style" ? by zaqattack911 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Call me cynical (or just go ahead and mod me down you little fucker), but does anyone else agree that this blog fad will eventually go the way of OS/2 ?

    With every new blog related news topic I keep seeing this attitude like it's the holy grail of www. Christ it is just a form of online diary. Granted it has its place, but will it last? Soon it'll be information overload (if you can even call some of the crap I see on blogs information).

  2. Suckers! by Jesus+IS+the+Devil · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    /.ers have been tricked into helping to promote this guy's site to the top of his niche. After all, when it's linked to from such a huge site as /., google's pagerank system will automatically promote its listing in the search engine.

    Twicked!
