Dedicated climbers on 8a.nu

By analysing stats from Similarweb, we can see that 8a.nu is the leading global sport climbing website as all competitors get most of their traffic from their country of origin. The 8a visitors are, on the contrary, evenly spread around the globe. The most interesting fact, however, is that 84% of the 8a visitors come "direct" instead of just clicking on a link on Facebook or Google. Here are the comparison stats. 84% 8a.nu 41% UKC (44% from "Google" & 66% from UK) 32% PlanetM (40% from "Google" & 49% from Italy) 28% R&I (40% comes from social media & 48% from USA) 25% Climbing (43% from "Google" & 49% USA) In the Google and social media era, getting 84% of the traffic direct is extremely good and unique for a global social community like 8a.nu. This also shows a great potential to grow.
