"Gog.com is ranked #5,484 in the world according to the three-month Alexa traffic rankings. About 8% of visits to the site are referred by search engines. While about 28% of visitors to the site come from the US, where it is ranked #4,090, it is also popular in Norway, where it is ranked #1,491. Compared with all internet users, it appeals more to men; its visitors also tend to consist of childless, moderately educated Caucasians under the age of 35 who browse from home. The time spent in a typical visit to Gog.com is about four minutes, with 44 seconds spent on each pageview."

Better get your missus to start poppin' 'em out to mix things up a bit around here.

Hence "moderately educated".

Do you know why they mentioned Norway? From their statistic is hard to figure it out because they only display "percent of visitors" whereas it would be nice to see "percent of visitor per population of the country". Well I did a fast calculation and here is what I got:

Norway
Lithuania
Singapore
Belgium
Czech Republic
Poland
Croatia
United Kingdom
United States
Netherlands
Canada
Sweden
Germany
France
Spain
Austria
Romania
Australia
Taiwan
Japan
Thailand
Italy
South Africa
Brazil
Colombia
Russia
Turkey
Mexico
Indonesia
China
India

As you can see Norway is on the first place...

Cool, thanks. I just copy-pasted what they said, assuming they knew what they were saying. ;)

By the way, are the summary stats computer-generated, as in there's a text template and the computer fills in "x is ranked y in the world according to z-month Alexa traffic rankings"?

It turned out they did but shame they didn't fully display their result. Sure, they included "Visitors by Country for Gog.com" but it would be nice to present other comparisons, for example the one I did.

Hard to say but I think they are. Look at this sentence: "While about 29% of visitors to the site come from the US, where it is ranked #4,086, it is also popular in Norway, where it is ranked #1,749." I doubt any reasonable being would have written that. It doesn't make much sense. Phrase "also popular" seems to suggest: "yeah, not that popular as the former but pretty close" whereas displayed numbers points other way around.

Considering a lot of the posts I've seen, I think it's downright charitable.
