The top graph indicates the web traffic “rank” from October 2009 to March 2010 of Directions Magazine versus competitors in the geospatial technology market including GISCafe, GISUser, Spatial News (geocomm.com) Geoplace.com (GEOWorld Magazine). The independent page ranking service, Alexa.com, shows that Directions Magazine is well above its closest competitor in delivering the news to a worldwide readership of geospatial professionals.

Moreover, as shown on the second graph, Directions Media is now competitive with other mainstream information technology publications such as CIO Magazine, Federal Computer Week (FCW), InformationWeek and Government Technology (Govtech).

While other online publications are losing audience share and reach, Directions Magazine keeps adding to its loyal readership.
