New Internet Stats site from Google
September 21st, 2009 | Published in Google Conversions
Today we wanted to share a cool new website that can help your business by giving insights into what's going on online. The Google Internet Stats site offers stats on the economic environment, consumer behaviour and current media trends. (Please note this site is currently only available in English and covers mostly UK statistics)
The information will be updated regularly with up to date research, but if you have an interesting insight you'd like to share you can Submit a Stat to appear on the site.
We think the Consumer Trends section will be particularly useful for Conversion Room readers. Take a look at what your website visitors and customers are doing online and think about adapting your site design/advertising to suit their behaviours.
