Global Fundraising

Every week, Dom (our dashing CTO) sends round an email with our site stats for the previous week. It gives us super exciting things like the top 10 domain referrers (#1 is almost always Google), most popular pages and lots of clever tecchy things like the number of page impressions on the site and the average duration of the visit.

But one stat that never ceases to amaze me is the breakdown of page impressions by time zones. Now for a start, I didn't realise how many different time zones there are (a staggering 32 since you ask), so to see our users placed in a global context is really interesting.

Unsurprisingly, most people visit the site from within the GMT zone:

But what is surprising, is that we get page impressions from every single time zone on the planet (I don't know whether we can track views from space...)

So from the smallest number, the very exotic looking Cocos Islands (13 page impressions), to the biggest, GMT (820,783) there's a whole world of fundraising all taking place on Justgiving.com. Isn't the internet great!

Here's the full list of stats from the last week (if you're really interested):

Another one to note is that there are almost 100,000 page impressions from the US alone. A very special relationship...

So remember, people can donate on Justgiving from anywhere in the world using their own credit/debit card. We process all donations in pounds sterling (£ GBP) but an overseas donor would have their currency converted by their card issuer. See help for more details.
