Mobile vs. Desktop

Desktops are the primary ways readers access the website with mobile devices a strong second

The stats of mobile devices are:

  • 30% unknown devices (nothing strange here as a lot of my users are from emerging markets that are more likely to use ‘cloned’ phones)
  • Apple iPhone
  • Apple iPad
  • Samsung Galaxy S3

I am surprised  the 2nd and 3rd of the mobile devices are Apple products considering again that most of my users are from emerging markets and Apple has less than 10% market share in Africa , I can only assume from this that  the site/blog is read by  middle class/professional group (who are more likely to own an Apple device)

Most Read Pages are

 

 

Interestingly the top blog was my comparison of the top mobile money players, I compared on customer journey, price and innovation which I wrote in 2013!!It was the top blog in 2013 too!!

I suspect there is hunger on information of mobile money for practical reasons and research reasons, hence the link the mobile money category (i.e. all the mobile money articles) hence the blog post keeps winning despite the over 1000% increase in readership

 

Review

Averagely my top blogs in terms on subjects are on:
