2011 Social Network Analysis Methodology:
This year we will be reporting data a little differently, as last year we noticed a trend, specifically Google
Insights for search seeing a large drop in ‘sitename.com’ domain search traffic.
No real clues ever surfaced to why this occurred, therefore we are looking at searches for strictly ‘name’ to
correlate demographic and geographic data. This should give us a larger sampling of data, as users are
much more likely to search for a site’s name then ‘name.com.’ However, with that said, certain networks
such as Tribe.net still needed to utilize the ‘name.com’ variation, since people looking for ‘tribe’ could be
looking for a myriad of things, thus corrupting the data set.
All data continues to come from Google because they have one of the largest data sets on the web. We
continued to use their Google Ad Planner and Google Insight for Search product to pull demographic and
geographic data.
The Top Cities and Top Region reports show proportionate interest levels to the area based on the given
search query.
Ignite Social Media
The Demographic and Geographic reports have Y axis numbers that are percentages out of 100, therefore
if the score is .52 then its 52% of the population.
The Search Traffic reports are based on proportionate search traffic for the given query. It’s on a scale of
100. Therefore if a given month shows the chart near 100 then that is the busiest month for query
searches ever reported in Google during that given time frame.
