I've quickly looked at a few global figures from our Piwik stats on OSM-FR over 2012.
We got 350k visits (in) and 43% of them went to osm.org (out), I presume mostly thru the "Show me the map" button and may also mean that half of them are not looking for a map for the OSM project itself. Further analysis on this could be interesting. Visitors come from: - search engines (40%, mostly Google using a mix of "open street map" keywords including some with typos) - direct access (30%) - links from other sites (30%) These other sites links are mostly not related to OSM and large part of them are articles related to 2012 buzz like: - Google "vandalism" on OSM, - Tomtom criticism against OSM data quality, - Apple Plans app for iOS6, - Google map maker availability in France. The other part is from blog posts, forum posts. The two most downloaded files on www.openstreetmap.fr are: - a cheat sheet for Potlatch (618x) - a JOSM tutorial (168x) -- Christian Quest - OpenStreetMap France - http://openstreetmap.fr/u/cquest _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
