A closer look at SBI Readership

If you have ever wondered where SBI readers check in from most often, you might be surprised at what the numbers reveal.

We started out as a New York/New Jersey-dominated website before re-launching as a nationally-focused soccer news site in 2008. In the three years since we have managed to develop a well-balanced readership that represents American soccer fans very evenly.

Here is a rundown of the top cities, states and countries for SBI readership, based on traffic statistics taken over the past six months:

  1. Dude, Ives is everywhere out here in the Colorado soccer community. Balboa can’t stop calling him.

    Your fault for giving him your home number, Ives.

  2. There is a NATO installation in Munster with Yanks assigned to the command in various staff positions-a small contingent of forces. I was in Heidelberg and played for TSG Rohrbach in the BundesBierliga, but have been relegated to trying to gain an appreciation for Sporting KC here in KC.
