WOW!

I visited the links, thinking I’d be interested in the results and found Ezine University. Great Info Chris!!!

In case anyone else has been living in lalaland with me and didn’t know about ezineuniversity.com – I’d suggest you go visit. AWESOME information.

How did I miss this?

Really?

That site hasn’t been updated in 5 years and I’m considering destroying it to rebuild it from scratch… ala EzineArticles was destroyed in 2004 in order to rebirth into what it is today.

Much of that old site is defunct and out dated…sorry.

[Reply]

I noticed some out of date info, but I picked through that and found some pretty nifty information about ezine publication. Stuff I’ve known and used, but needed to update my info, get some new ideas.

Sometimes even old stuff can be freshened up and reused with a little ingenuity.

I hope you to rebirth that site, it’s a goldmine of info.

Interesting information. Thank you Chris!

I have done a massive amount of research of the types of visitors who read my articles. I have found them and categorized them as “HUMANS” and I have thus decided to make these “humans” my target market.

Lance,

I’ve heard Humans mention your name, I thought perhaps they’d found your wash bays somewhere and used them for some unidentifiable purpose – but then I realized they’d been reading your work.

I suppose you could do a study to determine if it’s an intelligent life form or not?

Yes Lance, you shall not write your articles only for humans.
Why such prejudice?

[Reply]

I think the prejudice is because they all come to EzineArticles to learn things and because the other species do not seem to be interested much, perhaps they know more than the humans? To be politically correct, maybe I should enlarge my target market and not only include just the 6.6 Billion humans on the planet but some of the other species too?

[Reply]

Personally, I think you’ve overloaded your niche. Perhaps you should narrow it down to humans with only one heart or only those with a right shoulder blade?

What is this politically correct stuff? I just massively destroyed my politically correct image in a writer’s group by standing up for something I believe in. (The other writer called me a name, I didn’t stoop that low – I’m proud of myself!)

You know – you could include all those humans with two left feet and you’d have enlarged your niche by at least double!

I haven’t logged in to my new Beta MSN Ad Center account, but one time while playing with ppc, I found their demographics tool verrrrry interesting.

I’m sure you have information on what keywords most people are using to end up on the site. Try looking at the MSN demographics data (if it’s still available) on those keywords. I’m not sure where they get the info, but it’s a different perspective.

You could also poll.

[Reply]

Lance, I don’t know if Jan’s advice is really good for you, but you don’t need to go too far to find inhuman creatures.
There are plenty of them in our own planet.
That’s why I told you that you shall not write only for humans. This is racism…

Inhuman creatures need your words too.

[Reply]

Let’s stop this crazy talk about writing for non-humans.

[Reply]

This was an irony.

Chris,

You’re getting more Monthly Unique Visitors than Match.com. And I bet your advertising budget is a little smaller.

And you’re also beating
washingtonpost.com
fox.com
business.com
howstuffworks.com
lendingtree.com
movietickets.com
irs.gov
in Monthly Unique Visitors.

And more amazing is that from February to July you doubled (100% Improvement) Daily Unique Visitors!

Congratulations!

I do not think that you toot your horn enough…honestly.

[Reply]

since you actually asked what demographics to collect on readers-
You could collect any of this but I’d rather have an option to fill out any type of survey like many sites have. If I’m in a good mood I fill in everything, if not I want to option to just leave something blank.
