I’m a bit of a geek on this type of subject, so I thought I’d share what I’ve found to be some interesting recent results with regard to mises.org’s user stats. Please feel free to add any more as this thread goes on, and your own feelings and comments as this thread goes on.
I was quite impressed with the website recently breaking the 0.01% barrier for daily reach, I think that’s pretty impressive! The Economist magazine’s website is the only other that I can think of as having a major reach while being an Economics dedicated website.
I made some bogstandard calculations based on the stats and came up with the following figures, you may want to compare the 2 website’s statistics in terms of daily reach. I used the 7 day average for each:
DAILY REACH (7 DAY AVG.)
Worldwide users US users
Economist.com ~1.11 million 380646
mises.org ~184000 121494
So daily, for every 5 people worldwide who browse the economist, one person browses mises.org. And for every 3 US citizens that access the economist, one US citizen goes to mises.org. Good work mises.org team!
Also, my impression is that mises.org has been undergoing a much longer term growth aided by the recent spike in interest given the recession whereas my impression is the economist’s figure’s are only benefitting largely from only the seasonal spike. Then again I’m pretty biased[:P]
