How our traffic compares

Centiare is getting a good amount of traffic for a site that's been open to the public for only four months. We're especially proud of the fact that we average 7.0 page views per visitor. That means our look, feel, and content is engaging! It's not YouTube traffic. It's not MySpace traffic. But, we're already consistently beating other media sites that have been around for years and years.

1Q traffic comparison 2007

This Alexa Daily Pageviews graph for the better part of the First Quarter 2007 suggests that Centiare captures far more page viewings than any of these respectable media properties:

• Gazette.com - the primary newspaper of Colorado Springs, CO (a metro area with population of 587,500).
• WBTV.com - the CBS television affiliate of Charlotte, NC (the 18th largest city in the United States)
• ArtsJournal.com - founded in 1999, the site is a digest of some of the best arts and cultural journalism culled from over 200 sources
• FMQB.com - the famous radio trade journal, Friday Morning Quarterback, was launched in 1968 and maintains 10,000 paid subscribers to its venerable monthly print magazine, as well as daily visitors to its website

While Centiare may trail them in raw visitors, we dominate each of them in total page views.

For the first quarter of 2007, Centiare recorded nearly 14,000 visits and over 96,000 page views, according to Google Analytics. Returning visitors make up 25% of the traffic. The top inbound sources of traffic are Google search results, followed by message boards and blogs where we're mentioned. We serve about 60 to 80 megabytes of data per day.
