Last year, the online sales grew by almost 20% compared to 2007 according to an online analyst expert. It seems that this year is not going to be any different. Sales are expected to grow by over 10%, and that is great news considering that the economy is not doing that great. While traditional shop retailers are struggling, the online business seems to thrive and grow rapidly. Brick-based retailers are facing very strong competition, as items offered online are usually cheaper and the choice is very wide. Have you ever wondered what people buy while shopping on the Web? You would probably be surprised to learn. They buy products and services ranging from travel deals, electronic, cars, clothes, jewelry, and many others. People are capable of literally selling everything on the Internet. Some consumers buy almost everything they need just by visiting online stores. Many of them even buy groceries, as some supermarkets allow customers to order online. Most consumers enjoy shopping online, even though they cannot physically touch the product that they intend to buy. I believe that what makes up for it is the wide selection of items available on the Internet and the opportunity to compare the prices. It is also easier for people to find what they are looking for.
Ever since the invention of the Internet, the United States have been number one in the world when it comes to the number of people using the Web. It might be because it is one of the richest countries that is quick to embrace technology. United States also acknowledges that technology can improve our daily lives. However, some things are changing as quite recently United States ceased being the country with the most Internet users. China now has over 300 million Internet users, which is already more than United States has. Among US population around 235 million people use the Web. Before the end of 2010, China is expected to have even more users giving it even more advantage over the American continent. However, not everybody is happy with that turn of events. The Chinese government is concerned about potential social unrest resulting from free Internet usage. Chinese citizens are confronted with the freedom of speech and the freedom of expressing one’s opinions that are present in Western countries. Of course, as a blogger and Internet user I believe that everyone has the right to use the Internet. I am also happy that this is the general trend in the world. There is no point competing with other countries when it comes to number of Internet users. We should rather be happy that more and more of the world’s population has access to the Internet.

What level of education is required to understand your blog? It is an interesting question, but it would probably take hours to manually analyze blogs to answer this question. Fortunately, there are tools on the Internet that can do this for you. It seems that High School is required to understand my writings. It is good? Well, I will take it as a compliment because I want my readers to be able to understand my writings. I also have to take into account that there might be people visiting this blog whose English is not their native language. Such visitors will also want to fully comprehend my articles. Just for fun, I would like to present you with the results of two famous blogs:
-ProBlogger.net blog has a reading level of genius. If that is the case there must be many geniuses in the world, as I know ProBlogger has a lot of visitors.
-Recently, JohnChow.com as a blog appeared to have a reading level of High School. It seems like John Chow similarly to me likes to write in a relatively simple way. This way his blogs attracts people from different demographics.
Such tools are really interesting, and I highly recommend that you check your own blog/website to see what will be the results. Do not be mad at the results as any results can be good depending on what you are aiming at.
Wikipedia is one of the most popular sites on the Internet. What is interesting that another site of this type appeared, and it is guaranteed to be online for the next fifteen years. Well, that is at least what the creators of this site claim. The site I am discussing here is quarterwiki dot com. As the address of it suggests for a quarter of dollar you can create an entry. It can be about your blog, about yourself, or about anything else. In the entries you can include text, your RSS feed, Google Ads, Google Maps, and videos. In general, Quarterwiki is similar to traditional online Wikipedia in a sense that everyone can write it. In this case, however, you will have to pay for it. It seems attractive to many people, because paying a quarter eliminates spam, and spam is a very big problem with this type of sites. Quarter of one dollar is not that much, and this is why many people decide to pay for this relatively new service. It is good to be visible on the Internet, if you want to be a famous blogger or a webmaster. Being listed on Quartewiki can help you a lot in your case. You might want to visit the site, even if you do not plan to advertise there. Whether such paid encyclopedias will become popular, we will have to see.
