Summary of statistics for the SMPS Technology website for power supply circuit design.
Very well with plans to do better.
What is our "market share" of power supply designers? We don't know exactly because we do not know exactly the number of power supply circuit designers world-wide. Our best estimate is less than 30,000, which is also roughly the circulation of the most popular relevant trade magazine and electronic magazine. We do know from our website statistics that 87,395 unique servers requested pages from our website in 2001. If you compare this to the 5,000 members of the IEEE Power Electronics Society, the technical society that serves the needs of the power supply circuit designer, it looks like we have a substantial market share.
Our home page was served 93,729 times, which is the number of times viewers saw our sponsors text ads -- a measure of branding. Viewers clicked through for more information about our sponsors an average of 3.8%, over ten times the industry standard for banner ads in this time period.
Most servers were hosted in the United States, but in 2001 we have also had visitors from over 73 countries. While major world corporations and power supply design entities form the bulk of our visitors, universities and government entities are also well represented.
We do very well on search engine placement. For example, search the world's most popular search engine, Google, for power supply design. You will find us in the top ten, usually number one.
