A closer look at the SBI Mafia (Updated)

(Since I made a mistake with the LA numbers in the previous post on the numbers of SBI readership, I decided to re-post this including the full Los Angeles numbers as well as the Top 20 states.)

The first four months of the new Soccer By Ives have come and gone and it is time to take a look at the readers who have helped the site get off to a great start (and will help SBI surpass the 3 million pageview mark at some point today).

I will have a more detailed sampling of things such as favorite clubs and ages once I can break down the latest SBI Reader Roll Call, but I do have some stats that can give you a sense of where SBI readers are checking in from.

Here are the Top 10 countries and states and Top 21 cities with the most SBI readers for the months of March and April (stats provided by Google Analytics):

Top 10 Countries

1. USA
2. Canada
3. United Kingdom
4. Germany
5. Mexico
6. South Korea
7. France
8. Spain
9. Netherlands
10. Japan

Here are the Top 10 states:

Top 20 States (includes DC)

6. Virginia
7. Massachusetts
8. Pennsylvania
9. Ohio
10. Florida
11. District of Columbia
12. North Carolina
13. Maryland
14. Georgia
15. Connecticut
16. Washington
17. Colorado
18. Michigan

Top 21 Cities

1. New York
2. Chicago
3. Toronto
4. Los Angeles
5. Brooklyn
6. Washington D.C.
7. Dallas
8. Boston
9. Houston
10. Arlington (VA)
11. Atlanta
12. Seattle
13. Denver
14. San Francisco
15. Columbus
16. Austin
17. Newark
18. Minneapolis
19. Raleigh
20. Philadelphia
21. Hoboken

I was going to just do a top 20 but had to give Hoboken some love for being so high up despite being such a small town.

Also, when I did the original tallies I didn't factor in suburbs, but once somet big cities were clearly broken up quite a bit into suburbs, I decided to group them. In doing that, I forgot to do that for LA, which is why LA was ranked so low in my original post. As you can see now, LA is actually a top-four city for SBI readership.

Thank you to all of you who have made SBI a regular part of your daily routine.
