Online Audiences

Week 9 - Lecture Content with Mark Fuler




In a lecture with Mark Fuler from Australian Regional Media, different types of audiences where identified and explained. I found it very interesting understanding where my future audiences where coming from! Here is what he had to say:


Casual Users: 
These users will likely never convert to subscribers, however they deliver audience reach and build advertising inventory – with a good opportunity for growth.

Medium Users: 
Over half of casual users access our sites via search engines, with another 21% coming via social networks and other websites. This kind of visitor generally lands on an article page and reads little-to-no other content other than the page they landed on.

If asked which sites they get their news from, they likely wouldn’t mention any of our sites, but would attribute it to the search engine, social network or website that they linked through from.

44% of medium users come direct to our sites – meaning that they either type the address or have it bookmarked.
55% land on the homepage and navigate from there – with a further 12% accessing via a site section landing page.

Heaviest Users: 
Over two-thirds of these users access the sites directly.
They have a stronger news appetite and habit – consuming an average of 22 pages of metered content every month. 66% enter the sites via the homepage and navigate their sessions from there.  A further 19% enter via a section landing page, with more than half of these users coming directly to the site – suggesting they have a relevant landing page bookmarked. These consumers typically visit approximately 3 times every week and spend almost 17 minutes with the site on each visit.
