Royalty Debate Peaks Interest

Energy related websites and blogs see spike in interest after Alberta raises royalty rates.

(I-Newswire) - Energy related websites have experienced a significant increase in traffic in the wake of Alberta’s decision to increase oil and gas royalties. In the two weeks following the Alberta government’s announcement, TheEnergyNews.com received a 35% increase in visits from people looking for up-to-the-minute information about royalties and other energy topics.

Since its launch in April 2007, TheEnergyNews.com has become one of the internet’s most credible sources of news and information about the Canadian oil and gas sector. With the extensive experience of anchor/broadcast journalist Jennifer Martin and veteran business journalist Brett Harris, TheEnergyNews.com brings viewers up-to-date with twice-daily television-style newscasts delivered via broadband.

“Energy news is a hot topic in Alberta. More and more people are going online to search for information about everything from conventional oil and gas to the future of the oil sands. And it’s not just Albertans who are trying to understand what’s going on. The eyes of the world are fixed on Alberta’s oil patch right now,” said Melanie Nathan, online search director for TheEnergyNews.com.

Ken Chapman of ken-chapman.blogspot.com said: “I had 2700 readers and 4750 pages in the five days around the government response to the royalty review. Hits are up significantly from the States and also from places like Korea, India, the United Arab Emirates, even Portugal.”

And that online energy boost is expected to continue with a strong focus on Alberta’s oil sands and their potential impact on the environment.
