Sally Falkow provides an excellent assessment of this report in (ironically) a recent email PR campaign, and other useful data about the growth of the blogosphere. I've recently come to regard Sally as the go-to-blogger for market data about blogging and RSS trends.
I don't feel comfortable reprinting her email campaign here, but if you'd like a copy, just ping Sally - I'm sure she'll share a copy. ;-)
I spoke with a group of bloggers in Phoenix recently. What I found is that very few had any business from their blogs despite a lot of effort. I have 5 closings and 7 active buyers directly from [our MyST blogsite] in 2008. I know because I ask. One person told me they have been reading my blog for almost a year before they called me to buy a property."
