Geofumadas | Visitors: | 100 cities in 10 countries
It has been four months since Geofumadas moved to the new domain, finally after experiments with Google algorithms and social networks I have managed to exceed 1,300 visitors per day, a milestone that I expected as May water because it was the average in Cartesians. I take this post to get some statistics of the Spanish-speaking sector where Geofumadas has reach.
- I used the Google Analytics reference, which identifies the city where the Internet service provider is installed.
- Apart from Google visits, I refer when another source is significant.
- Google's direct reference generally refers to users who enter the site from favorites or because they directly write geofumadas.com.
- Statistics are based on visits during the last four months.
The 10 countries where the most visits come to the site represent about 87% of the total, I have considered the 10 most significant cities in these countries; however there are other cities in other countries that may have more visits than some cities in the queue.
Spain (23%) From here the 10 main cities stand out, in their order: Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, La Coruña, Bilbao, Malaga, Zaragoza, Granada and Murcia. Although the total is close to 128 cities according to Analytics. I have brought the Canary Islands closer to not leave it off the map. The 33% of these arrive directly, 4% arrive by links of the old Cartesian domain and an 2% already arrive by Twitter, strategy that I started with the new lodging. The most frequent visit is AutoCAD 2012 And in recent times The tectonic faults of Spain, Is not for less with the shake that they had recently and that the theme of the earthquakes has temporarily become fashionable. |
Mexico (18%) In the case of Mexico, it is quite similar to Spain, with more dispersed cities (134). Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Oaxaca, Toluca, Chihuahua, Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Villahermosa and Xalapa stand out. Here a 25% come directly, apart from Google, an 4% that comes from Bing, which is not the case with Spain. The key word that comes most is Geophysical Although the theme of the the UTM coordinates in Google Earth. |
Peru (11%) The geomatic theme is very fashionable in Peru, to the extent that they exceeded the number of Argentine visitors, which was previously higher in percentage. Lima stands out as a great spot, although 23 other cities appear, including La Victoria, Arequipa, Cuzco, Huancayo, Trujillo, Chiclayo, Chimbote, Piura and Juliaca. The word that has come most from search engines is Geophysical, It is curious that the 54% of visitors arrive directly, and an 6% by Taringa that has some very popular users there. |
Colombia (9%) From this country appear 55 cities, the first 10 are Bogota, Medellín, Bogota metropolitan area, Cali, Bucaramanga, Barranquilla, Ibagué, Soacha, Cúcuta and Pereira. 26% reach the site directly, the rest through Google and 2% through Bing. The most used keyword AutoCAD 2012. |
Argentina (7%) Here are some 82 cities with representation, the 10 that stand out are Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Rosario, San Miguel de Tucumán, Mendoza, La Plata, Mar Del Plata, Morón, Neuquén and Bahía Blanca. 24% by direct visit and 3% by Yahoo Answers, very active in that southern cone region. The most used keyword Geophysical And follows AutoCAD 2012 new arrivals. |
Chile (6%) Quite similar to the behavior of the Argentines, although hardly 28 cities, among them Santiago, Providencia, Concepcion, Valparaíso, Viña Del Mar, Temuco, Antofagasta, Puerto Varas, La Serena, Talca. An 31% comes directly to the site and an 4% through Yahoo Answers. The most used keyword Geophysical, followed by Microstation. |
Venezuela (4%) 27 cities, standing out 10 in this order: Caracas, Maracaibo, Valencia, Barquisimeto, Maracay, Merida, Puerto la Cruz, Maturin, San Cristóbal and Cumana. 30% of users come directly and it is curious that 6% still arrive by redirecting the old domain. The most used keyword Geophysical, followed by AutoCAD 2012 new arrivals. |
Ecuador (3%) In Ecuador hardly 8 cities are included: Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, Machala, Loja, Ambato, Manta and Portoviejo. An 31% per direct visit and an 3% uses Bing. The most used keyword, AutoCAD 2012. |
Honduras (3%) This is an exceptional case, it should not appear in this level of statistics but it has the peculiarity that I am here. For this reason, any search with the CAD / GIS theme from the local search engine will take me to Geofumadas, apart from colleagues who are identified in the contents. Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula hardly appear, typical in countries where their connectivity service providers are not mapped correctly. But also because the main connection sources are based in large cities and even if people from small towns connect by modem, they will not appear. It is the only country that has changed from top10 to three years ago, which was previously occupied by the United States. A surprising 72% comes directly and also curious 7% comes from Yahoo and Google Images searches where the post of Topography pictures Has positioned me enviably with the keyword Pornography. The most commonly used keyword is Geophysical. |
Bolivia (3%) This is a very active community, but similar to the previous case. La Paz, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba stand out. 17% arrive directly and 1% draws attention via Twitter. The most used keyword is UTM projections. |
In the list of 5 following countries include:
- Guatemala, whose capital appears in the top 10 cities where most visitors receive.
- El Salvador and Costa Rica, always in Central America.
- United States, where the states of Texas, California, New York and Florida excel.
- And the Dominican Republic where the community of surveyors Is very active.
It is well known that the Spanish-speaking sector has achieved an interesting position on the Internet. In the geospatial issue, the learning communities associated with proprietary and opensource platforms every day make it a potential sector for business. Although many countries still need to insist on promoting anti-piracy standards, incentives and professional accreditation, so that the market is sustainable in the face of investments in the Information Technology area.
I hope you found yourself in the statistics, if you do not appear consider yourself privileged.
Hello Nancy.
I appreciate your clarification on La Victoria, and I agree that bringing the geomatics issue to "sustained fashion" surely has a lot of preliminary work.
From the moment I opened the conversation channel for the times I am available, I have seen how many Peruvians not only visit this site but converse, ask, and the coincidence of them is usually that they are venturing self-taught in the subject or carrying A career in the university that requires them to take advantage of the gespacial matter.
Greeting!
Hello Don G !, my first words are to congratulate you on having achieved your goal of average visits. This means that your effort is rewarded. Well for it!
On the other hand, I want to highlight the fact that your comment that 'the geomatic issue is in fashion' here in Peru is the result of a long and sustained effort that for years has been sown silently but persistently by various university professors, the which opened a path that still must be traveled and for which it is predicted (finally!) that my dear Peru will stop being a layman in this matter. I am an exceptional witness to this effort, first when my thesis advisor, Eng. Meneses from the Univ. Ricardo Palma here in Lima, insisted on the importance of the subject to choose and then when I could be accepted as a free student at UNI (quite an honor) in the Satellite Geodesy classes given by Ing. Ralfo Herrera, one of the pioneers in this subject along with the recently deceased Ing Salazar.
Finally, to note that 'La Victoria' is not the name of a city in Peru, but the name of a district of the city of Lima, a very popular district for being the cradle of one of the most traditional soccer teams in our country. : the Alianza Lima.
Best regards from Lima Peru and follow the successes.
Nancy
