Here's a little data dump for all of you. I like to do this from time to time on other blogs, but I have never done it on this one. People have been asking me where does site traffic come from, and what are some of the interesting search terms that bring people to the Education blog.
Geographic Interest
Traffic comes from 1,310 cities around the world. Here are the top twenty cities, and then some unusual cities or locations thrown in for fun
1. New York
2. Charlotte
3. Washington
4. Chicago
5. San Francisco
6. Los Angeles
7. (not set)-- This is probably several cities in China, Blogger is blocked in China, and people use proxies to get to the site, leaving it anonymous.
8. Delhi
9. Phoenix
10. Boston
11. London
12. Baltimore
13. Mumbai
14. Singapore
15. Toronto
16. Philadelphia
17. Arlington
18. Seattle
19. Brooklyn
20. Houston
And for the really interesting cities: Paris, Chennai, Hyderabad, Givatayim, Petaling Jaya, Vancouver, Abu Dhabi, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh, Zurich, and Karachi
Search Keywords
These are a list of the top 20 keywords that direct people to this site and then some odd ones that make me wonder what people think we do here. People in the entrepreneur space are hot on this blog.
It seems that people are coming to this site sometimes to learn not only about the education industry but about people who have started ventures, tried something new or different, and are looking to connect with people who have made an impact in some measurable way in education. Here's a sample:
1. daniel pianko
2. john katzman
3. venture capital for the education industry
4. education industry investment forum
5. education industry investment forum 2009
6. jordan goldman
7. jordan goldman unigo
8. shai reshef
9. knowledge investment partners
10. university of the people shai reshef
11. india has more honors kids than america has kids
12. eiif
13. howard block
14. education investment forum
15. tabula digita
16. eduvest
17. keith oelrich
18. inetoo
19. dan madzelan
20. arthur benjamin ati
And then the other remaining umpteen dozen thousands plus search terms that have led people to this blog give you a great sense of the zeitgeist in the global economy and the viewpoints of people in the education industry:
"how bad is the american economy right now?"
"philanthropy is the gateway to power"
"fastest growing continent"
"number of honors students in india"
"arne duncan"
"grand canyon university ipo"
"will we need teachers in the future?"
"what is barack obama's education agenda?"
"explain education as an investment"
"90:10 education obama"
"inspector general's warning to accreditor raises fear"
"three year cohort default rate"
Much more later. There's a whole series of stories to be written in these search terms. If you aggregate them according to time and date, you can pretty much track a pressure cooker economy blowing up and then settling into recession and perhaps, maybe, generating a recovery?
Stay tuned. I will blogging on here while I am in China.
