Clean Cut Media – Growing Media Blog

Last month we had a tremendous jump in pageviews taking Clean Cut Media over the 10,000 pageview mark. We were very excited, yet we wondered, could we possibly keep up this visiting rate? Last month we had some exceptional days and some good breaks. Would this be the month where we see growth stagnate or heaven forbid, regress?

Mar: 12,651
Apr: 15,952

Maybe next time, for it is not this month.

Clean Cut Media – Rapid Rise

Clean Cut Media Climbing the Ranks

Dumbfounded again. Pageviews (Growth). I am a very strong optimist but each month I still wonder how it could possibly grow anymore.

Jan: 2,504 Pageviews
Feb: 4,705 (88%)
Mar: 12,651 (169%)

I expected some growth this month, but the incredible jump was unexpected. Clean Cut Media is starting to draw some attention by fellow bloggers and websites as we occasionally get emailed notes from similar sites. It’s also a good sign when other blogs link to your articles!

We were even approached for an acquisition! If you haven’t figured out, that was on April 1st. I was sent some personal startled notes from the regulars.

Clean Cut Media – Torn Both Ways

April 1, 2009 2 Comments

Hello Clean Cut Media Visitors!

What most of you are not aware is the fact that Clean Cut Media has been growing at a ridiculous rate. See the numbers for itself.

Jan: 2,509 Pageviews
Feb: 4,700 Pageviews
(87% Growth)
Mar: 12,651 Pageviews
(169% Growth)

We will post more exciting details as we do in the beginning of every month.

However considering the growth…

Family Social Advocacy Site Approaches Clean Cut Media
I’ve been in talks with a family/social advocacy site about them potentially acquiring this blog and domain. So far the money on the table is quite a large sum (think a couple zeros). It is a reasonable amount considering a good domain name alone with nothing on it can go from anywhere from $500 to $50,000. A site that already is built out and have followers like Clean Cut Media, the price is much higher. They have also offered to keep me on board and pay me (not much but a decent rate) to help maintain the blog and contribute articles.

Torn – What should Clean Cut Media Do?
This is part of the reason the posts has been slower than usual. I am torn. By selling the blog my thoughts and hopes of what I wanted to build this site into could go into smoke if the owners want to take a different route. You may think, “just sell it and build a new one with the money!” But it’s really hard to find a good domain name without a thousand hyphens (clean-cut-media.com) and it’s always difficult to build a following from scratch. What we have here is special. That is why people are willing to pay to acquire one that is already established and growing.

Anyhow wanted to let the community know of my current plight. What do you think?

Average Adult Watches an Hour of TV Ads a Day

March 30, 2009 No Comments

When the subjects were asked to recall their media consumption behaviors, “people underestimated the amount of time they spent with TV by a substantial amount,” about 25 percent on average. – Mr. Wakshlag

Average Americans are exposed to 61 minutes of TV ads and promotions every day.
An Average Adult are exposed to some form of digital screen (TV, GPS, Cellphones, Computers) for 8.5 hours a day.
Computer usage has supplanted radio as the second most common media activity

These are some of the statistics found by the Council for Research Excellence, formed by the Nielsen Company. The $3.5 million dollar study was started to determine whether media companies needed new ways to measure media. Ball State University’s Center of Media Design conducted the study and called it the largest observational look at media usage ever conducted. Rather than surveys, researches shadowed 350 people (over 18 years of age) and recorded their behavior in 10 second increments for 952 days.

Consistent Exposure to Media among All Ages
They found that the number of minutes exposed to advertising was consistent among all the age groups other than 45-54 year olds who spend on average an extra hours more in front of the screen.

“It flies in the face of conventional wisdom, of course, which tells us that the younger cohorts apparently spend more time with screen-based media,” said Michael Bloxham, a director of the center at Ball State.

Girl Self-Esteem & Image Issues & Parents

Girls Self Image

Almost across the nation 50% of young girls are engaged in negative activities such as injuring and cutting themselves or engaging in unhealthy eating habits and disorders due to self-esteem and self-image issues.

Girl Self-Esteem & Image Issues

Dove’s Campaign on True Beauty came with a bang last year with their poignant videos that went viral all over the web:

Evolution Video

Onslaught Video

Have you visited their site? It has quite a good number of statistical data in regards to Girls and Self-Image. They have information as well as workshops in helping a girl with their self-esteem. They also have a map with top cities and the individual studies they did in each area. I’ve summarized their statistics and findings below.

Here is the executive summary:

Self-esteem has become a crisis in this country. The majority of girls feel they do not measure up in some way including their looks, performance in school and relationships. Most disturbing is that girls with low self-esteem are three times more likely than girls with high self-esteem to engage in harmful and destructive behavior that can leave a lasting imprint on their lives.

Social Networking overtakes Email

March 13, 2009 3 Comments

Social Network Moves Up

A new study released by Nielsen has shown that Social Networking has overtaken email as the most popular internet activity. As popular social networks like Facebook and MySpace have features built to stay in communication with friends and connections many people are utilizing those communication mediums to “email” or “chat” or “post” with one another.

Nielsen reports that “member communities” exceeds email participation 67% to 65%. This is in conjunction with the fact that social networking and blogging is growing twice as fast as other drivers of users such as email, search and portals. Two-thirds of internet users visited a social networking site in 2008. Social media sites such as Facebook and MySpace account for nearly 10% of all internet time. Facebook continues to lead the way by accounting for 30% of all internet users in the largest global markets.

Bad Economy? Not for Video Gaming!

February 15, 2009 1 Comment

The US video game industry continues to grow despite the bad economy. Though spending cuts are prevalent in all parts of life and in all kinds of industry, the video game industry grew 13% from January 2008. The industry now sits at $1.33 billion strong. This growth is well above the the overall consumer spending growth rates.

Is anyone concerned how gaming spend is going up in a time when spending is being cut elsewhere due to economic troubles?
What does this say about the culture we live in…
