Orthodox England Site Statistics and Comparisons (June 2008)
The following presents part of the research dated 14 June 2008 as made by Barbara Drezhlo, an Orthodox commentator in the USA. It indicates that for numbers of visitors we have overtaken the official ROCOR site and are now coming close to the number of visitors of the Antiochian site in North America, which represents some 200 parishes and have about half as many visitors as the OCA, which has over 600 parishes. All we can say is a big thank you to our webmaster, David Davies!
A)Gross monthly uniques
1. Greek Orthodox Archdiocese (GOA): 56,004 (100) (71)
2. Orthodox Church in America (OCA): 19,386 (35) (72)
3. Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese in North America (AOCANA): 12,481 (22) (79)
4. Orthodox England: 8,635 (100) (163)
5. Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR): 4,991 (9) (67)
The first figure in brackets is this month’s index, whilst the second bracket contains an index as compared to last month. The above figures must be adjusted to account for “addicts” (daily visitors) and “regulars” (more than once a month, but, not daily). There appears to be a slippage across the board, but, as it affects all sites, it may be a normal seasonal variation.

Analysis of the Orthodox England site by Barbara Drezhlo
It is interesting to note the depth of this audience, which is almost as large as that of the AOCANA. Fr Andrew has a diverse following, with an especially heavy cohort coming from Alaska natives. His readers tend to be college-educated or above. In income, his readers tend to $30-$100K bracket, but, he does better in the $100K+ category than all the sites here except for the GOA.
