Weekly use of the internet is climbing and because of this, brands may benefit from increasing their online PR output in 2010.

According to Econsultancy’s Rebecca Lieb, citing figures from a recent study by Harris Poll, the average amount of time spent on the web has risen 13 hours since 1999.

Harris Poll also stated that “Hours online may have increased because of the recession.”

Statistics have also shown that individuals between 30 and 39 registered an average 18 hours on the internet a week, while 40 to 49-year-olds spent 17 hours surfing. Therefore,  focusing on older generations as their PR increases may also be a large benefit.
