Nielsen is introducing some new reports aimed at online community interaction. Nielsen PreView will incorporate the company’s many research divisions and tie the data to the entrainment industry.
The initial report analyzed the box office performance of 400 recent films, finding that titles grossing at least $100 million in sales are likely to have received elevated levels of attention on blogs. More details, here.
Some of my favorite film bloggers are:
Cool…
Off topic, I have a suggestion for the service you guys provide here. Why don’t you guys provide something in our workbench that tells us where we rank on the leader board, and for the top 100, why don’t you post their stats so that we know where we stand and we have something to strive for. I know a lot of people feel like they’ll get paid for the articles they allow you to place. And chances are, most of us wont, but obviously that isn’t all that matters. We benefit from having our pieces on the big site, which in a way does aid in creating revenue. Regardless, it would still be nice to know where we stand. I’ve had a great first quarter, and I thought that maybe I’d be pushing the bottom of the heap, and I may be, but I have no way to know. Also, since we are on this topic, well since I’m on this topic, how are we supposed to compete with some of the sites that have all of their posts placed on USAToday? I know there are a few golf sites that are featured there daily. This kind of gives them an unfair advantage over the rest of us.
Nick,
That would be so cool to have those numbers.
Here would be my wish. In our dashboards we can see who has published our articles and if the link is “dead” which media services that have not published our work but there is a number attached next to the service name.
Ex: deansguide has Meridith and Wall St. J with numbers next to them. What do these numbers mean? That ea service has investigated my articles but have not published as of yet?
My wish? I would love to know what articles they read so that I could improve or follow a popular string.
Thanks guys!
