' C* F. z& a8 X4 RKnowing your target demographic is one of the most important steps in limiting guesswork in creating and seeding your content and products. You can』t know what your users want if you do not know who your users are. Once you understand your users, you can then begin to set goals. Setting your goals without this knowledge will make them much harder to achieve.

+ R" O1 X2 \3 iWe』ll use an example of a jewelry site to determine the target audience and where to find them. By using this example you can begin to put the use of demographics into practice on your own site.

) p' k1 ?& I2 s( u4 ~! Y8 K/ xA good example of profiling can be seen on The Telegraph newspaper. They have identified their typical print and web audience. This helps advertisers know where to place their ads. It also means that editors know which type of content is most suitable for different media. The Telegraph can give more prominence to stories on the web to cater for that audience than they would in their newspaper. Obviously, there will be some overlap between the groups, but it』s always helpful to know your audience as much as possible.

% {5 v1 q3 {- {6 X3 MThere could already be vast amounts of market research to use depending on the topic of your site. Don』t rely on just one or two studies for your research and try to find studies conducted by more than one company.

; S+ @# R' K9 Y4 ^$ GYou won』t be able to find a massive amount of quality information using search engines and web tools alone, but you can at least narrow down who might be interested in our site. Most market research reports start in the thousands, so if you really want detailed information it』s probably better to pay for these reports, but if we are a small site just starting out, then we have to work with whatever data we can find.

Lets say we want to start a site about jewelry (we』ll use the American spelling, even though it makes me feel violated…). It』s possible to find market research data over a specific period using Google』s advanced search options.
# q8 _! T% o7 w5 y7 R+ c4 |0 ?9 v
Try to find as much information as you can from using search engines. Now find a couple of large sites that are about the same topic. A quick search brings up Jewelry.com, Jewelry-Weblog.com and Tiffany.com.

; A0 m4 s; B7 E5 j* v# @  B9 VNow we can use Quantcast and Microsoft AdLabs to find some more information about the type of people who usually visit these sites.

Type in the name of the site you want to search in Quantcast. Then navigate to the 「demographics」 tab.

The accuracy of these tools is debatable, but they give a general indication that jewellery is generally more popular with women. So we now know that if we want to spend time building up relationships through  social media sites, then it』s a more effective use of our time to concentrate on sites with more women than men.

There are discrepancies in the age ranges of visitors to the three sites. You might need to look for more data to clarify what age ranges are interested in reading about jewellery.

Along with looking at basic demographics, you might also want to try and find out information on psychographics and their understanding and relationship with technology. We』ll give you a brief explanation of each below, but you might want to do your own further research.

Psychographics examines people』s lifestyles and behaviours, for example, what values and ideals they have, where they holiday, what they are likely to spend their money on and their interests.
' {3 K% y! E1 A5 y0 Q& s
Once you have a rough understanding of your current audience and your target audience you can then look at understanding why certain lifestyle and behaviours are important to them. So, let』s go back to our site about jewellery.
: M6 U- w$ K  t. M8 }" K8 V  }* V: j
# Z/ Y, b3 v* r& }Jewellery isn』t a necessity (although I』m sure my girlfriend would disagree), so if we do a quick search for some market research on jewellery, we find that they are primarily an aspirational item. So your audience regards certain jewellery as a status symbol. There may also be cultural reasons behind their interest in jewellery, like marriage.

, u3 p1 v7 G$ yWhen we take that into consideration, is the goal of 「getting traffic」 from Digg, Reddit and StumbleUpon even worthwhile? Will the majority of these users see jewellery as a status symbol or as being important to their identity?
( f/ t$ G! D& J
From our own statistics on popular topics on social news and bookmark sites, lifestyle items, such as, jewellery, don』t figure too highly on their list of priorities. They』re far more likely to regard technology gadgets or political viewpoints as being an important part of their identity. Instead of spending hundreds of hours building up relationships on those sites, a few hours of research will eventually save a considerable amount of time, and you can instead focus on trying to build relationships with a smaller number of people who are interested in jewellery.
, `$ a9 v" r# l, k  D7 xTechnological Ability

Technical ability
7 J8 Y6 O$ v6 t6 \* B
What is the technical ability of the people you are looking to develop a relationship with? How much do they know about working a computer? If the age group you』re targeting is particularly old or hardly ever use a computer then you might be better off trying to get them to sign-up for an email newsletter rather than developing a relationship with them via social network sites and blogs.

The research by Forrester into technographics can help shed some light on people』s relationship with technology and social media. You can use this tool to further your understanding of how your audience is likely to use social media.
9 Q7 C7 H, C$ S5 Y& p- z
- T$ v# @; }/ U4 `" B7 wThe technical ability of your audience has a bearing on how you try to connect with people. If your goal is to increase RSS subscriptions and your main audience is older women living in the suburbs, then is this a realistic or even worthwhile goal? Would it be better to ask these people to sign up for an email newsletter instead? You might not even need to use social media sites if you want to reach older women. Think about the goals you want to achieve and your target audience and you』ll save yourself lots of time.

; u# M( {$ r- g- v, ]( uAlso, have a think about how your audience likes to consume media. Do they prefer to watch, read or listen? Is there anyway you can use video, audio and articles to connect with your audience?
How can you profile your current visitors?
6 |4 o+ z. k! d7 f  c, H- P
Now you have a rough idea of the  type of people who are interested in the topic on your site, you can start to look at the type of people who currently visit your site.
  [0 V2 m2 g5 {  k3 Y; M
2 p) u# M/ W5 EMost analytics packages can tell you something about your visitors. Google Analytics is free so lets use that as an example:
* u! f! s: U' @/ t* E
What browser do they use?
  K  h' B3 K- v1 T
If your site has a high percentage of Firefox users it indicates some level of technical experience. They have to download and install Firefox and use a browser that doesn』t come automatically installed with their computer.

On this site, most of our visitors use Firefox, while on another site we work on that is aimed at older women, the majority of visitors use Internet Explorer with 33% of those using Internet Explorer 6. The users on that site could be intimidated with having to download and install a new browser. So for that site, it might be a good idea to assume a large percentage of visitors don』t have much technical knowledge on the web. We would leave clear and detailed instructions for even relatively simple tasks. The type of browser somebody uses might also be an indication of age and economic status, as this report suggests.

7 {8 m- p4 W1 m& }: S8 ]- JSearch engines are usually split pretty evenly between sexes, but what about economic and technical factors? This Hitwise report indicates that people who use Google are more likely to spend more money online when compared to Yahoo users.

7 `; s4 k2 O8 e0 R6 KFor technical factors, I know that in the UK, British Telecom has approximately 40% of the broadband market and that the browser that comes with their package has the default set to Yahoo. A person who isn』t very technical will likely stick with using Yahoo because they don』t know how to change it from the default setting.
( ~8 O+ i4 |8 ~, {% J
Searching for more data on Internet access, I find, Ofcom (a telecoms regulatory body) and they release reports frequently. I can see from their report that people from low-income families are likely to use broadband, especially if they have children of school age.

+ [! |: S* ?% w4 `* dWe now know that BT has 40% of the broadband market and that elderly people with low-incomes are unlikely to use the web, so if I planned on selling or writing about safety products for the elderly and planned to sell them online, then I would now re-think my strategy and find another way to try and reach them.

Which cities/towns are they from?

Be careful here, obviously these stats will show that people from larger cities have visited your site the most, but what is the overall percentage of those visitors? Do you have a metropolitan audience or are they likely to come from smaller towns and cities? Where they live is likely to influence their lifestyle choices and purchasing options. In big cities there are more options, while in smaller cities and towns, people might need your site (or a site like it) in order to get what they want.
