I received an email the other day claiming PT was rubbish and past it and blah, blah, blah. Happens a lot. You get used to it. Anyway, I was looking at our webstats today for the first time in a while and there were some interesting stats:

* In the last 3 months page views are up 63%
* Our current user numbers are at their highest since December 2007.
* The vast majority of PT users are aged 18-34, male, not married, at work or college and have no children.
* People spend an average of 13.2 minutes on PT at any one time. Compare that to Kerrang.com (2mins), Rock-Sound.net (less than 2 mins), NME.com (3 and a bit minutes).
* PT has the 7,791 highest traffic rank in the UK.

For those who care, March 10, 2010 is Punktastic’s 10th birthday. I’d say that’s a fucking good run for something that’s, ahem, so shit.

  1. Haha. I’m very intrigued in how you came about the stat around average age/marital status, etc. You’re once again, for good reason I’ll admit, preaching to the converted though! It appears there’s a good few of them. Blog/Twitter/Un-scene 5 helped?

  2. I think there have been a few things that have helped – the Brand New review, Paramore review and Cobra Starship review have all brought people in. But that wouldn’t explain stats over a 3-month period.

  3. Amaze! What analytics tools do you use? (sorry, I’m also a webstat geek). And I can’t believe p*t will be 10 years old next year… I feel like a right old granny now! xx

  4. Alexa.com – I’d never heard of them until someone else linked me to them. Apparently over the last 7 days PT is the 153,896th most visited website in the world (and 6,901st in the UK!)
