here are stats from a professional web traffic monitoring company

approximately 10,000 unique people visit TheWolfWeb each month... of these we are

50/50% -- male/female
90% -- white
70% -- have no kids
70% -- have some college, a college degree, or grad school
60% -- make between 30K - 100K per year.

so far, makes sense...

until you read that

50% are age 35-49

and

25% make more than 100K per year

o rly?

and these aren't just "passers by" fully 25% of these 10K people are counted as "regulars" or "addicts" (collectively accounting for over 55% of total visits)

where are these old people? it can't be just old dudes looking at pr0n... because that would skew the gender stats, which is actually 49% male, 51% female.

interesting

how do they gather this (mis)information?

10/6/2008 6:03:03 PM

because the people put 99 as their age.

10/6/2008 6:04:38 PM

^ no, they're not using self reporting profile info... they're using demographic metrics from webtrackers.

^^ freely available demographic information, i reckon

cops. it's the cops and media people that are always trolling TWW, looking for shit

10/6/2008 6:07:29 PM

so what your saying is that of the people who own the computers/internet accounts being used to post here 50% are age 35-49 and 50% are female

10/6/2008 6:08:31 PM

what im going to guess, is that the "passers-by" skew the demographic data somewhat from what would be if it were just measured by "regulars" and "addicts"

but still that doesnt account for all of it.

and at the least, if it doesnt show the composition of the regular *posters* it really shows who are the regular *visitors* to this site.

10/6/2008 6:08:35 PM

im just shocked that 25% make more than 100k

[Edited on October 6, 2008 at 6:09 PM. Reason : HOW DO THEY KNOW]

10/6/2008 6:09:48 PM

I'd love to get to know the 100k-ers

CMON JOE WE KNOW YOU MAKE THAT MUCH AT LEAST

10/6/2008 6:12:15 PM

if you wonder where all this info is archived... two word.

GOO

GLE

i swear, theres' so much aggregate demographic data out there available, it would make your head swim.

10/6/2008 6:13:23 PM

I'm glad to see that you can't add, though.

Income (30k to 100k)
37 (30-60k)
+
23 (60-100k)
=
50?

10/6/2008 6:16:36 PM

50/50 male/female my ass

10/6/2008 6:18:17 PM

yeah. 50/50? what are you smoking

[Edited on October 6, 2008 at 6:19 PM. Reason : how exactly does it get this data?]

10/6/2008 6:18:36 PM

^^^ lolz. okay, correcting income to 60%.


^^, ^ it's not reporting on "regular posters"... it's reporting on "all visitors". which breaks down to

25% "addicts" and "regular visitors"
75% "passers-by"

so i think its fair to say these numbers do not represent the core posters (you guys), but it does speak to who are the visitors -- including even the "regular visitors" although the numbers won't be so extreme.

this smells like bullshit.

how does some company know the real people behind the usernames? how can you know about someone's kids, income, degrees, etc, unless you know who the person is, i.e., their full name and address?

10/6/2008 7:01:59 PM

ncsu.edu 1.4 M
unc.edu 1.2 M

pwned

10/6/2008 7:11:14 PM

well, most of those people who went to ncsu.edu couldn't get into unc.edu, so i dunno...

10/6/2008 7:13:41 PM

we're confusing bastards huh?


ever thought we lie on internet surveys too and or bounce.

aggregate data. ip matching. i dont know the details, im not a marketing geek. but with infinite storage and unlimited processing power, you better believe they do it.

google is the new Big Brother

one of the statistic threads mentioned that most of the people that read and post on this board signed up in 2000-2004. therefore there is a larger percentage of posters that are posting from work.

utilizing IP matching, even though i am actually 27, it might put me in the "older" bracket because of the demographics of where i work. I am one of the youngest employees there.

how does it know when i log on tww via wifi or a public computer what my income is? i'm assuming it counts any hotlinked pic as a hit to the website as well.
