There was a very large increase in visitors to the Curry Focus website in 2009 (over the 2008 number). In 2009, the number of visitors rose by 121%. This is a really amazing jump in visitor number and tells us that we’re meeting a need to know about curry recipes and curry ingredients.
The main characteristics of the recipes on the website is that they are easy to follow and that the Curry Focus team tries out a new recipe most weeks and writes a review of the recipe.
In 2009, 77% of visitors were from the UK and 91% of visitors were from the main English speaking countries (UK, US, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and Ireland).
The top 10 visitor countries, in visitor number sequence, were UK, US, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Ireland, France, Spain, India and Germany. This is the same country sequence as in 2008.
Most US visitors came from California (Los Angeles), New York (New York City) and Texas (Houston).
Most UK visitors came from London (which had just over 35% of visitors), followed by Manchester (5% of visitors) and then Birmingham (4% of visitors).
We had visitors from 166 different countries and territories with 21 new visitor sources. The new visitor locations include Antigua and Barbuda, Cape Verde, Ivory Cost, Saint Helena, Ecuador, Guadeloupe, Mali, Swaziland, Togo, Tonga and Uruguay.
The Curry Focus website has more recipes, recipe reviews and blog articles than before and new recipes, reviews and blogs will be added as you tell us about your favorite recipes and we hear more curry news and gossip from around the world. If you have a favorite recipe, that you want to share with us, then you can give us the details on the Add Recipe page and then we’ll share it with the curry-loving world.
We have quite a list of features that we want to add and change on the Curry Focus website and you’ll be seeing these changes throughout 2010.
