Media information, Nov 2009
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
40% of Fashionoffice's main domain traffic comes from Pakistan
New statistics about Fashionoffice's traffic show that in October 2009 most of the fashion.at-users (approximately 40%) come from Pakistan. (Fashion.at and Fashionoffice.org are directed to the same webspace.) Compared to the data from Sept 2009 (circa 40% from Germany and Austria), is this one of the most significant changes in the statistics.
The opening of the academic research program
Caused by the last years extended research investment into qualitative & quantitative studies about effects of online media on trends and the continuing significant - sometimes alarming - results of third-party statistic programs, the NPO & NGO Fashionoffice.org has opened its academic research program for supporting partners in October 2009.
Reliability of the data: Fashionoffice’s technological premises are common practise
From the start (early 2006) and through the years of monitoring traffic and its effects on rankings in search engines by using measurements of third-parties (Google, MSN, Alexa…), Fashionoffice has checked constantly together with official authorities for internet security and administration the reliability of the data delivered by the server of Fashionoffice.org. The significant expansion of user traffic from Pakistan on the domain fashion.at was reported as suspected domain abuse on 30 October 2009 to Globat.com (Hosting Provider), Nic.at (Austrian Registry), and CERT.at (Computer Emergency Response Team Austria). On 3rd Nov, the Austrian CERT has affirmed that the technical premises for the measurements are reliable. The domain fashion.at is free of abuse. CERT mentioned some reasons for the domain's popularity boom in Pakistan.
