Wikipedia Web Traffic Grows 8,000 Percent
Nielsen Online released an interesting News about some traffic data of Wikipedia on May 14th. Despite the breathless headline on Nielsen’s press release (“Wikipedia U.S. Web Traffic Grows 8,000 Percent in Five Years”), growth of the U.S. audience has slowed quite a bit. Nielsen says Wikipedia had 55.8 million unique visitors in the U.S. in April 2008. That’s up 22% from a year earlier. For comparison, April 2007 was up 77% over the previous year. April 2006 was up 285% over April 2005. Clearly the U.S. audience for the user-generated reference site is maturing. Notable from Nielsen’s findings is the extent to which search engines, especially Google, drive visitors to Wikipedia. In April 2008, 61% of visitors from home and 66% of visitors from work to the en.wikipedia.org site were referred from Google.
