WebmasterWorld Senior Member 10+ Year Member Top Contributors Of The Month



Great info there, thanks!!

Just what I picked out

1. Interesting to note the higher % of men. My site gets 50/50 split of the sexes, I wonder the reasoning for the difference here.

2. Days connected per month seems to be uniform, must be the way we all integrate it into our daily life regardless of location ;)

3. Interesting to see the top rankings for travel. Some countries (it seems the more progressive ones) are opting for their home country TLD as opposed to .com. Would be interesting to see if this is a trend, or has more to do with the actual country. I suspect its the former, where more established internet presences like Germany and the UK are differentiating themselves from the US by using .co.uk and .de. I suppose to a lesser extent this would happen in the UK because of our close affiliations with the US as a whole and our common language :)

> Interesting to note the higher % of men.

My bet would be that this follows the US trend, where women hold a slight majority online overall.

I'm not sure where those figures are derived from - is it netvalue only or a mixture?
Interesting to note however how vastly different the numbers are from what Nielsen/netratings gives [nielsen-netratings.com]

>local TLD vs dot.com
I was not surprised by Germany clearly preferring dot.de, but very surprised by all french top sites in that stats going eith a dot.com.
