What Google Trends Says about LJ's Russian traffic
Saturday, November 7th, 2009 12:53 pmIf Google Trends is to be believed, LJ now has more Russian traffic than U.S. traffic.
I was poking around Compete and Alexa looking at stats, and when I saw that Alexa.com said that 33.6% of LJ visitors were Russian vs. 21.5% of visitors being American, I wondered whether that could be true. However, the Alexa stats did not differentiate by country.
Fortunately, I discovered Google Trends, which does, and which painted an interesting picture.
If you look at the global stats, over the past two years, LJ has declined from around a million daily unique visitors to a bit over 500K daily unique visitors.
However, you notice looking down that Russia is the top country mentioned, and we can view Russian stats separately. Over the past two years, there have been around 400K-300K daily visitors.
( Can this possibly be true? And more stats from Google Ad Planner )
What do you make of all this?
