Via email from Brian Robinson, Senior Director of Yahoo Media Network Strategies and Insights:

“Here is the comScore page view trend for Yahoo! blogs in 2011:

Jan = 353 MM PV

Feb = 369 MM PV

Mar = 472 MM PV

Apr = 506 MM PV

Here, I think, is the cool story for our blogs:

— 57 million people in the US read a Yahoo! blog in April 2011, more than visited any blogging network, including Blogger, WordPress, Gawker, and Huffington Post.

— Yahoo! Blogs delivered 506 million PV in April, more than Huffington Post and twice as many as Gawker Media.

Brian, by the way, used to be in a band called Hampf, so you know he’s legit.
