Facts and figures

From its early days, Bizcommunity have jumped up the South African rankings to occupy the number one position online for this sector of publishing, with just under 400 000 unique online readers and 4 million page impressions for May 2012 (source: Effective Measure).

Over the past 11 years, Bizcommunity has racked up a few interesting and impressive site statistics, namely:

• Over 300 000 subscribers to the Bizcommunity newsletters
  
• Over 135 million newsletters sent since 2001
  
• Over 130 000 job ads posted since 2001
  
• If Bizcommunity were to be made into a book, it would be rather hefty - having more than 270 000 pages.
  
• Such a book would be about 2.7m thick and weigh about 1200kg.
  
• Bizcommunity is made up of 330 000 lines of code. Stretched out, the code would reach 34km.
  
• If all active content were to be laid out next to each other, the line would extend from Cape Town to Graaf-Reinet - 673km.

These are just a few of the achievements that Bizcommunity has reached over the past 11 years.
