 <title>BlogHer blog readers: Loyal, vocal, highly educated...and shopping online</title>

 <description>&lt;h3&gt;BlogHer&#039;s Spring 2006 demographic survey results illustrate why wired women are the hottest demographic for online advertisers.&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BlogHer LLC recently announced the launch of the new &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogher.com/node/5223&quot;&gt;BlogHer Advertising Network&lt;/a&gt;, going to market with an initial group of more than two dozen parenting bloggers. In Spring 2006, BlogHer conducted a demographic survey on many of these participating blogs by women and compiled the following results from nearly 3,000 blog readers who responded:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;BlogHer Parenting Network readers are loyal&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;77% of the Network&#039;s readers visit the blogs at least weekly, and two thirds of those visit daily.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;93% of the Network&#039;s readers are &amp;quot;certain to return&amp;quot; to the sites&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;BlogHer Parenting Network readers are the optimal audience for advertisers, when it comes to age, income and education&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;94% are female.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;94% have a greater-than-high school education.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;64% are between the ages of 28 and 40.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;64% make more than $50K per year.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;70% are married, and 50% have children still living at home.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;BlogHer Parenting Network readers spend money online&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;49% have spent over $100 online on plane tickets in the last 6 months.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;39% have spent over $100 online on clothes in the last 6 months.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;33% have spent over $100 online on books in the last 6 months.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;22% have spent over $100 online on consumer electronics in the last 6 months.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;16% have spent over $100 online on home and garden supplies in the last 6 months.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps most significantly: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;53% of BlogHer Parenting Network readers have their own blogs with which to publish and amplify their recommendations and referrals.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Results as of May 5, 2006 with 2,931 survey responses.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
