Ever wonder who’s doing all the research on hybrid cars, trucks, and suv’s?  Well, so did I, which is why we compiled a bunch of analytics data from the past few weeks, based on our most popular websites in the Hybrid Kingdom. In case you’re wondering, we use Google Analytics to keep tabs on our visitors, traffic sources, most popular content, and much more.  If you haven’t tried it, give it a shot here.  By the way, it’s free.

I’m guessing that because all of our sites are located in the Unitied States, our search engine traffic (which is how 58% of our visitors found us) is biased towards people who either live in the U.S., and/or those who use .com versions of popular search engines (Google.com, Yahoo.com, MSN.com, etc.).  In addition, most of the web sites that link to ours are also from North America, which should result in our referral traffic (37% of visitors) coming from the U.S. and Canada.  The remaining 5% of our viewers arrive via direct navigation.
