Warriors Don't Have Kids...

Ive never been to college or had any kids

But thats probably cause im only 17 and am defiantly making less then 30,000 a year

I have three kids and they are all in that age group 6-17. I wonder where they get their stats, I don't remember filling out any details on Warrior forum about whether I had kids or not.

Wow, I guess I have nothing in common with Warriors. LOL

I'm a young male (34) who makes a lot more than $30k. I went to college and grad school (MBA).

I also have two kids ages 4 and 1.

I'm 31. I make more than 30k. I went to college. I have a son who's 10 months.

Also notice how I didn't say members, I said visitors. Member demographics are probably different. Just thought it was an interesting tool, but maybe I went about getting attention to it the wrong way?

I don't fit those demographics either. I'm a 21 year old female who went to college (didn't graduate, though.) But think of who would visit this site without becoming a member, or a regular. Somebody who was looking for a way to make money online, but wanted it easy. I mean sit-on-your-butt-and-have-a-PC-ATM easy. And I'm guessing that most of them are men (a lot of men still feel they should be the primary bread winners, and more men work physical labor jobs - the jobs where we're seeing a lot of layoffs), many of them are probably late 30s early 40s like the statistics say (as they are less likely to retrain for a new position, and probably have more responsibilities than the younger crowd but less savings than the older ones), and if they had gone to college they probably wouldn't have either of the above problems.

Then again, apparently the WF attracts MORE people who went to college or grad school than the average website. It just isn't a big percentage of our visitors.

wow, wonder if i should be feeling alone in the crowd as both my kiddos are younger than that age group, and i'm averaging quite well for us. (nope not rich,just a two income family which means it's being eaten alive)

Note also, it doesn't say anything about people with younger kids (younger than age 6) - so these statistics are actually sounding almost dead on, because most people who have replied seem to have young ones

This is important to note..... when conducting market research, choose your colour flavoured Kool-Aid wisely from Mr. Quantcast Jones - Re: visitor data.

Lol I don't fit at all. I have a daughter in that age range (as well as 4 under it), went to college, make over $30K a year, am a 27 year old female.

Cherilyn,
It does say in regards to the under 6 age of being 13% of forum members.

Me neither. 35YO married female with 2 kids in that age range, and I make more than 30K.

I think the point about visitors vs. members might be accurate, but I would still think the demographic would be a little more varied than that.

interesting, but same as others, how do they get these information about age, # of children, .....?

what they showed is probably the MEAN of some data, but what's the confidence interval? without it, the data is meaningless.

64% of people know that most statistics are meaningless. In fact, 37% of statistics are simply pulled from thin air... 87% of people don't know that though.

Warriors DON'T have kids?!

Damn. NOW you tell me. HMPH.

I have 4 kids!

I saw statistics from that site presented on another forum I'm a member of (while looking for backlinks, I'm sure ) and the general consensus was that the information presented there is NOT correct.

Cherilyn,

I don't have any kids, at least none that I know of. hahahaha! But I am in the median age group at 31.

I just want to add that Quantcast is a great tool to find people to market to if you want to divide by age/race/gender.

Jeff

Hey I'M between 6 and 17 in my mind...

Warriors! You're busted. Good job Cherylin.

J/K

no kids but i'm a younger male.

Wow, this thread is really going places with cats, bikes, horses that left the stable, name changes, it has got it all. Oh, and I also am in that 13%. I don't fit any of the metrics.

TomG.

I'm still single so I don't have any kids.

More interesting is this bit:

"This site attracts a less affluent audience."

Don't tell me that some Warriors have been inflating their income claims!

Seriously, I would attach no more credibility than I do Alexa.

Ray

Well I may as well join in . . .

I have kids who have kids between 6-17 !!

I actually looked at few sites on quantcast and I don't think they're pulling the numbers out of thin air. No, they can't be truly accurate, but I think they do show some interesting trends.

And like Cheryl pointed out, it's VISITORS not members.

Plus, I take heart...my main site (that they say has limited data, but they stil offer some info), has visitors with a yearly household income up to 60K. Not like the <30Kers that hang around here....hehehehe.
