NEW survey: https://randfish.typeform.com/to/xqBx3fie
If you're in the #marketing universe, would love to get your feedback about events & conferences in the space. My guess is many things have changed since I ran this survey in 2017. Will publish those changes and results this week.
October 8th is #SparkTogether.
For the first time, in person, in Seattle. Waitlist for tickets is open now 👇
The NEW V2 of SparkToro is finally here!
It can tell you:
- Who visits your website (demographics)
- What they search for
- Which other sites they frequent
- Which social networks they use (and don't)
- Which accounts, podcasts, YouTube channels, & SubReddits they follow
We'd love to hear your feedback—free reports are now open to everyone.
Friday, April 5th, #Seattle Town Hall: https://townhallseattle.org/event/geraldine-deruiter/
Best-selling author (and my literal favorite person on the planet), @everywhereist, is in conversation with @seattlefoodgeek for the launch of her new book: If You Can't Take the Heat.
Tickets are just $10! Hope to see y'all there.
NEW: https://sparktoro.com/blog/where-web-users-spend-time-vs-where-traffic-referrals-originate/
Nearly 250K folks saw our research (published Monday) about where traffic referrals originate. Unfortunately, too many had a worrisome takeaway I need to correct: traffic referrals ≠sources of influence.
More new charts, graphs, & findings in the post.
NEW research: https://sparktoro.com/blog/who-sends-traffic-on-the-web-and-how-much-new-research-from-datos-sparktoro/
The wait's over. Thanks to the amazing team at https://datos.live, we can finally answer questions about:
- Who sends traffic to the open web (besides Google)?
- How much? Does it go to the long tail, or just the top few sites?
- What's changing?
If this research is valuable to you, I'd truly appreciate amplification (the reach is how I'll justify getting to do more studies like this!)
Dear #seattle friends.
On Tuesday, March 12, @everywhereist will be reading from and signing copies of her new book at Book Larder: https://booklarder.com/collections/evey-events/products/in-person-author-talk-geraldine-deruiter-if-you-cant-take-the-heat
But, tragically, I can't be there (committed to speak at a couple events in Europe prior to this scheduling). If you could go, cheer her on, be there for her, it would mean the world 🥰
IMO this is some of the most important research of my career.
Who really sends traffic to the open web?
How much?
Are those numbers rising or falling the last few years?
Thanks to help from Datos' 10M+ device clickstream panel, we'll soon have real answers. (preliminary preview graph 😲)
