Financial Sense® Site Statistics

Audience

Financial Sense® attracts a broad readership, from financial industry professionals, to academics, to high net worth individuals, to laypersons with a love of the market. All these readers share a common interest in contrarian investment thinking, reading and researching about the markets and the economy, and many are longtime investors in a wide range of areas. Many either manage assets professionally, or are highly involved in the trading of their own assets, whether on their own or through the use of a professional money manager.

Despite the decision to rely on "viral" marketing as opposed to "active" marketing, the site attracts a significant, very loyal, readership: nearly 15% of the site's readers have visited the site more than 201+ times; over 45% of the site's traffic is direct. In addition, over 2,800 other websites link to the Financial Sense site, and the site's traffic rank is usually between 20,000 and 11,000 overall.
