Our first award-winning site launched in 1994 and we're still the longest running food ezine on the World Wide Web. Thousands of sites link back to us. From 1995-2002, we were partners with America Online, and they still maintain keywords and links to our website. Our site received over 425,000 unique visitors in October 2009 (source: Google Analytics and MINT), and our audience is predominantly female.
"According to comScore, an Internet marketing research company, food sites attracted 45.6 million unique visitors in September 2008, up 10 percent from a year ago, more than double the rate of total Internet growth in the United States." —New York Times, November 1, 2008.
The globalgourmet.com tier rank on Quantcast ranged from 4,130 to 11,602 over the past year. The Google Page Rank for the main Global Gourmet home page has ranged between 3 and 7 (10 is highest) over the past two years. DomainTools.com gives our site an SEO Score of 94%.
We offer banners of various sizes, text links for traffic, plus placements on the main page, run-of-site, or just 2nd tier pages (including over 10,000 pages ranked and indexed by search engines—see Recent Searches for examples of indexed pages).

Third-party companies like URLtrends collect this same data from the same external sources we do (such as Yahoo, Alexa, and Google). They collect this data tens of thousands of times a day—these sources have limits to what they will provide, so when checking sites in "live" mode, the data sometimes fails to come through and may affect rankings.
Traffic data varies depending on the source. Each counter program tallies data differently and most use Javascript so if a vistor turns off Javascript, they are not counted. Some counters do not record data on some older pages (from 1996 to 1998) because the page templates are too old and do not include the counter scripts. Though they use Javascript, the Google Analytics stats appear to be the most accurate because they filter most errors, bots and other junk traffic.
AWstats is our server's internal statistics software.

MINT is a "live" PHP-based internal statistics program. We started using MINT in late February 2007. Like Google and Quantcast, MINT does not count bots and other extraneous hits that many other statistics programs count; those extra hits can artificially inflate a site's stats.
