Class Activity (24/08/05)
Where is the audience coming from?
According to the stats, a majority of the audience is from Australia (for obvious reasons), while countries outside Australia which view the site mostly consist of English-speaking nations (Canada, US). However, there have also been readers picked up in French, Arabic, Spanish and Turkish speaking countries.
How are they viewing the site?
Funnily enough, the majority who visit the site tends not to view it for too long (most of the coming up as 0:00). A lot of them seem to view the page by mistake while looking for something else (most of the site's audience found the site through search engines like Google). The site's peak reading time is around 9pm when 60% of the day's readers log on. A majority of the readers are viewing the site through Microsoft Windows XP on 1024 x 768 monitors.
What can we draw from this information?
- The majority of the audience comes from the east coast of Australia, probably because the majority of the readers attend RMIT who produce the site.
- It seems not a lot of readers intend to stay no more than a few minutes on a news website.
- An obvious fact would be how people tend to favour locally-produced websites for their news.
- Although it's a small number, I was most surprised with the fact other nations would come across the site in their travels. I'd be even more interested to find out what they think.
