Who Reads Average Jane?

For work, I use Quantcast and Compete.com to get ballpark estimates of the traffic that various blogs receive. Every now and then I check my own blog URL and this is what Quantcast had to say about you this time:

This destination reaches over 1,517 monthly people, of which 1,290 (85%) are in the U.S. The destination is popular among a primarily male, middle aged following.

I guess attending BlogHer every year hasn't affected my traffic much, huh? Although I do tend to hang out with Karl quite a bit at BlogHer. Hmmm. 

In other news, I did get poison oak on my arm. It can take up to a week to appear…and it did. Now I have an itchy, blistery spot on the right forearm that I'll probably be enjoying well into the beginning of the year. Lucky me!

I have the day off tomorrow and I'm planning all kinds of fun things. I have Kansas City Social Media Club breakfast in the morning, then lunch with my aunt and her cousin.

Later in the afternoon, I'm going for a session with an image consultant whom I met at a recent tweetup. She's going to teach me to do more dramatic makeup when I'm performing with my band. (I think her intention is to get me to stop being such a little brown wren all the time, but my tomboy instincts run pretty deep.)

Then in the evening, my niece and nephew are coming over to help me put up the Christmas tree and decorate the house. They'll be spending the night, so I imagine there may be some cookie baking involved as well. 

So do you fit the demographic that Quantcast claims I attract? Do you have anything fun planned this weekend? I must know!

    You have a late 20s midwestern female from Twitter….so. That’s something different, at least.
    I’m going to Red Balloon Saturday!

    well I do have more testosterone than the average woman and I do have a lot of health problems – but *technically* I am a 36 year old female.

    Well, you have this old lady following you just because you happen to be local. There aren’t that many males reading blogs, so I’d say you’re very unique in your following.

    Sorry, pre-middle age female here. Although I have to say, usually my interests skew with that demographic – I like prog rock and fountain pen collecting so in my hobbies I’m usually elbow to elbow with middle aged men!
