Cliffsnotes.com Traffic and Demographic Statistics by Quantcast

This compares audience composition of the site to the entire Internet population. The higher the index number, the more concentrated a site is in a particular demographic.

As an example, if a site indexes 100 for age 18-24, that means a given visitor to it is as likely to be 18-24 as any internet user chosen at random. An index of 200 means the visitor is twice as likely to be 18-24, 50 means half as likely, and so on.

1. Segment refers to the demographic composition attribute.

2. Very High Indexes (over 200) are denoted with a plus symbol.

This graph examines user retention patterns for a mobile app, which tells the story of how much of app's user base continues to use the app after installation over time.

1. The x-axis is comprised of cohorts based on when users installed the app. For example, if we look at the column "+3 Days", this means that regardless of whether users installed the app a week ago or a month ago, what ratio of these users have returned within three days after installation.

2. The gray bars indicate the average retention rate across all days the app was downloaded.

3. The yellow line represents the average retention rate by period of all apps measured by Quantcast.

4. Install grouping details can be found by clicking on the down arrow.

1. The average day row shows the general retention rate for the entire app.

2. The highlighted row shows the retention rate compared against the average. In this example, 29% of users who installed the app one month ago returned at some point within two days, compared to the average of 35%.

3. The Add Date button allows you to add custom dates to determine retention patterns.
