    Japan Reference forum members by age groups

    Please note the different regional percentage between the forum members and total site access for jref.com.

    While 50% of the hits on jref.com are from the USA, only 11.5% of the forum members reside in the USA. The proportion of forum members is higher than the hits or pageviews for Japan, Canada and most European and Asian countries though.

    Advertisers targetting an US audience will therefore want to advertise on the main index and content pages (outside the forum), while those targeting an Asian or European audience will advertise on the forum itself. Australian visitors visit either section of jref.com equally.
