Visitors Demographics Question

by TLondon
2 replies
Hi! I've got a problem, maybe somebody has some kind of solution.

I have a .co.uk website with a word "London" in the domain. The website is obviously intended for mainly British audience.

Most of my visitors come through search engines (about 80%). The problem is that exactly 60% of them are from the US, and only 15% are from the UK. It's fair to assume that majority of those people leave the website quickly and/or never return because the content isn't suitable for people based in the US.

How can I fix/change this problem to my advantage? I feel like I'm loosing valuable clientele.

I'm thinking of creating a new website around the same subject for American audience and somehow (not sure how yet) get a hold of those 60% and direct them to my new website. However, not only I'm not sure how would I do that, this also comes with a lot of its own drawbacks and plenty of additional work/funds. Is that smart? Any other solutions?

Thanks!

    As far as setting up another site for US customers is concerned, you can do that easily by setting up a new directory called US, then load worpress into that directory and configure your new wordpress accordingly. You could do this for as many Countries you wish.

    On your home page of the original site, put links or Country flags etc to direct non UK customers to to the relevant site/directory.

    ie .. mywebsite.com/US

    It works well, I have done it myself in the past for the same reasons

      same here

      my visitors most of them from united states.

      in fact I can't get any china visitors ,

      next I from Singapore not base in united states.


      perhaps due to nature of the internet?

      More internet pipelines are going to there?

      china is a big market but I feel most of them rather join their own community /marketing sites next china also block Facebook right?

      although their internet users know how to go through using private ip etc but I feel most of them rather join their own social networks , search stuffs more using their own search engine rather than google or yahoo..
