Since the beginning of its operation, the istotne.pl portal has been the most frequently visited website in Bolesławiec. According to data from Google Analytics, the best tool for measuring popularity and readership, our istotne.pl portal is visited by 143,000 people per month. The Bolec portal is visited by 14,000 fewer people.
These data can be compared, for example, on the Whitepress platform, where all portals must provide original Google Analytics printouts and nothing can be falsified.
Recently, Bolec cited a study dependent on the city authorities, claiming that it was supposedly the most popular. However, the study’s author told us in an interview that it was a quota-stratified study, meaning that interviewers approached whoever happened to be available, as long as they roughly maintained the age and gender distribution. The portal survey was not representative because it was conducted among only 44 people.
The best evidence is hard statistics from independent companies such as Google and Facebook. Below are Google statistics provided by Whitepress.
As for Facebook, the istotne.pl portal also has the highest readership there. As is well known, on Facebook the number of interactions matters more than the number of likes. Likes can be bought; Bolec uses paid promotion, but interactions cannot be obtained that way. On Facebook, the istotne.pl portal has the most interactions among Bolesławiec profiles. Our readers are the most active and are not bought.
Finally, here is data from the Alexa.com system. Almost all websites in the world are ranked there. Of the websites from Bolesławiec, the istotne.pl portal holds the highest position.
