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, and many are longtime investors in areas such as energy and precious metals, as well as other commodities. 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.
Since Financial Sense is intended to be an educational resource, rather than a marketing tool, the site itself is not actively marketed. This means that all visitors to the site are self-selected as those with high interest in the areas mentioned above.
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.
