科学博客TM 刚拿出一个 释放 他们的流量增长。 这种趋势很有趣,因为经过一段时间的平稳之后,2008-2010年似乎又出现了强劲的增长。 正如我离开时所说,我希望SB和他们的许多博客作者一切都好,我将继续在我的RSS和 选择提要。 当科学交流从枯木向互联网过渡时,网络的强劲增长是一个积极的信号。 我知道科学记者对企业的可持续性有很多压力,尽管那实际上只是新闻领域整体问题的特定领域实例,但是直到可以解决增长问题为止持续不断的科学博客和与科学相关的网站是一件好事。 创造性破坏的风暴过后,市场一片平静,而当前的科学博客圈正在为未来的更新奠定基础。 从劳动的角度来看,结果可能不是最理想的,但是消费者会从中受益。
基于互联网的科学传播的增长意味着馅饼在增长,潮流在上升。 这不是SB,Nature Networks,Scientific Blogging,Discover Blog等之间的零和游戏。我个人主要担心的是,我的读者群体仍然是盎格鲁球形,事实上,当我我一直在写博客,但是很少能这样做并且可以阅读我的内容。 由于语言的限制,这可能是一个长期的结构性问题,尽管利用Google翻译+图表繁重的帖子可能是将其略微超越“英语”的一种方式。 如果您想查看地理偏斜, 站点计 即使最近100位访问者的样本量也足够。
请注意: 另外,请注意,这种增长不能仅归因于非科学内容。 显然,我无法列出具体数字,但是关注科学的博客,例如 四足动物学 和 额叶皮层 吸引大量流量。

To address your personal concerns, for what it is worth, my impression as a non- or perhaps semi-Anglospheric barbarian is that your extensive vocabulary and creative use of language is instructive and very enjoyable, but perhaps not the most foreigner-friendly.
I don’t read Chinese. But if I’d for example use Google translate to view this text in Dutch (I tried it) the result is hardly Dutch at all and I still have to read the English text to figure out what it means. And even then I’d have a harder time to recognize and translate certain idioms in context than I would to just read the original. I suspect it won’t be much better in an unrelated language like Chinese.
good point. since you’re dutch this is a good test, since that language is the closest to english excepting frisian. and i don’t consider dutch barbarians 🙂
We pay a lot of attention to these metrics (e.g. overall growth, U.S. market share, non-U.S. traffic) at the corporate level, so I will add two points from the business side.
First, you have to take any company’s internally measured and press released numbers with a big grain of salt. They (and we) have an incentive to make the numbers look as good as possible. Web traffic measurement numbers can vary greatly depending on the provider (Google, Omniture, Nielsen, ComScore etc.) and the underlying assumptions (e.g. definition of unique visitors). When we look at overall market growth and share across sites, we usually cite a third-party provider like Quantcast. Though the third-party numbers are flawed in some ways, you can be confident that they are using the same method across all the sites.
Second, from a business point of view, U.S. page views are much more desirable than international page views because many advertisers ask specifically that we only provide U.S. impressions. I suppose if we suddenly found we had a large Chinese audience, we could adjust our sales approach but, for now, Chinese impressions have significantly less advertising value.
好点,但我认为野心太大了。
同时跨越文化、语言、宗教、阶级、政治和种族的障碍几乎是荒谬的困难。这从来都不是一件容易的事,而互联网让这个问题变得触手可及。但我认为这主要是一种幻觉。
为了实现这一目标,我认为你必须专门针对你的受众。这是母语写作,至少对受众有基本的文化理解,并发布到分配给这些受众的域内的网站。
来自发展中国家的英语不流利的人可以在这里找到您的博客吗?当然。他们会经常这样做吗?不会。他们会成为固定读者甚至贡献者吗?不太可能,不。这实在是太困难了,而互联网可以轻松提供其他更好的选择。
毕竟,您读过多少主要或完全用葡萄牙语写作的巴西博主?对我来说答案是零。
there’s little symmetry between portuguese and english, so i frankly that’s a specious example (in fact, currently there’s no symmetry between english and any other world language in terms of likelihood of it being a second language). though your general points are probably valid.
