You can look at the demographics for just about any site here:
RV Net
Looks like we're mostly caucasian, highly educated, and earn a lot of money!
A look at the traffic tab will show the dip in the recent months.

My guess would be all the server and slow or no response problems that they had in may. It was useless to try to sign on... even if you did you could hardly post anything.

I would take very seriously their statement:

"We have sparse data about rvnet.com, so these are rough estimates."

I'm not sure what they mean by "Estimated monthly people." There number for the US is 4907. Although I don't have a breakdown by country, there are 7,381 online at this moment. Summer and weekends are the slower times.

Interesting. BUT...
How can there be more people with graduate school education than those with college education?

It is sort of strange, but may be an error. I clicked on the demographics tab. The pie chart there shows 19% for grad school, 39% for college, 41% for no college while the bar graph shows more or less the opposite numerical effect. Goofy.

My bet is that some responders interpreted 'graduate school' as 'graduated from school'.

The pie charts are looking solely at RV.Net readers. 39% college, 19% graduate school. I find there explanation unclear as to whether or not "college" means "some college" or "graduated from college". Similarly for "graduate school." From one of their explanations, it appears that they mean "college degree" and "graduate degree." With that interpretation, the pie charts indicate that 39 + 19 = 58% of RV.Net readers have at least a college degree.

On the other hand, the Bar charts are comparing RV.Net readers with the average Internet user. A randomly select an RV.Net reader, is 1.3 times as likely to have a graduate degree than a randomly selected Internet user.

For those who are not familiar with the black arts of sadistics .... I mean statistics, their statement, "We have sparse data about rvnet.com, so these are rough estimates." makes the comparisons almost meaningless.

The way I read the bar chart was stats for all internet users. The Pie was us RVnetters. But then what would I know since I'm in the minority, a female with no college degrees and come to think of it no income.

BTW: I didn't see any dark blue for "addicts" under monthly traffic. Can't believe that one.

Duh. Leave it to me to miss the obvious.

I must be missing something, but the above posted link is data for RVNET.COM, not for RV.NET....





The data for RV.NET is located here. Tom, I bet 168,699 "Estimated Monthly People" sounds a little better!..
