Global Gourmet Advertising

Reach Out To Our Audience

Our first award-winning site launched in 1994 and we're still the longest running food ezine on the World Wide Web. Thousands of sites link back to us. From 1995-2002, we were partners with America Online, and they still maintain keywords and links to our website. Our site averaged over 350,000 unique visitors in the past 30 days (source: Google Analytics and MINT), and our audience is predominantly female.

CNN reported that in 2006 there were over 100 million sites on the web. Kenneth Cassar, an analyst with Nielsen/NetRatings, estimated 50 million people, or one-third of active Internet users in the United States, visited food sites in May 2007 (New York Times, June 26, 2007).

The globalgourmet.com tier rank on Quantcast ranged from 4,380 to 11,602 over the past year. The Google Page Rank for the main Global Gourmet home page has ranged between 5 and 7 (10 is highest) during 2007. DomainTools.com gives our site an SEO Score of 94%. Our SEOmoz.com Page Strength ranking has ranged from 7 to 8.5 (out of 10) over the past few months.

We offer banners of various sizes, text links for traffic, plus placements on the main page, run-of-site, or just 2nd tier pages (including over 10,000 pages ranked and indexed by search engines).

Third-party companies like SEOmoz and URLtrends collect this same data from the same external sources we do (such as Yahoo, Alexa, and Google). They collect this data tens of thousands of times a day—these sources have limits to what they will provide, so when checking sites in "live" mode, the data sometimes fails to come through and may affect rankings.

Traffic

Traffic data varies depending on the source. Each counter program tallies data differently and most use Javascript so if a vistor turns off Javascript, they are not counted. Some counters do not record data on some pages (from 1996 to 1998) because the page templates are too old and do not include the counter scripts. Though they use Javascript, the Google Analytics stats appear to be the most accurate because they filter most errors, bots and other junk traffic.

AWstats is our server's internal statistics software.

MINT is a "live" PHP-based internal statistics program that tracks ALL our pages (unlike Quantcast and StatCounter, that only track pages created or modified on our site after 1999). We started using MINT in late February 2007. Like Google and Quantcast, MINT does not count bots and other extraneous hits that many other statistics programs count; those extra hits can artificially inflate a site's stats.
