Mobify Network Stats Q4 2010
We’ve spent some time combing through our analytics data for Q4 2010. Over the next few days we’ll share some of the key nuggets that we’ve extracted from the data set. In terms of overall trends, we’ve seen a lot of growth across our network in 2010. From September to December we saw 41% growth in pageviews from European visitors and 36% growth from North American visitors. This reflects both an increase in traffic to individual Mobify subscribers and the ongoing expansion of the Mobify network. We’ll start today with relative device data.
