Aussies Flock To Kiwi Job Sites
New Online tool allows marketers to identify where international visitors are from

Auckland, 16 July 2009; In the current climate jobs are scarce and those looking for work are plenty. In fact, new data from Nielsen Online reveals that the number of visitors to New Zealand employment sites from both New Zealand and Australia have risen significantly.

With its latest Geo-targeting tool - Market Intelligence GEO - Nielsen Online has been able to track and rank data by visitor location. Revealing that total traffic in the employment category in New Zealand for June 2009 was 1,133,297 unique browsers; this is up (20%).

In Australia the number of unique browsers visiting New Zealand employment sites is up from 39,382 to 51,097 an increase of (30%).

Nielsen Online’s new module works by using IP methodology to derive a visitor’s country location. The IP addresses assigned are listed in a large location base database, which maps to geographic locations.

“This new functionality allows our clients to identify exactly where browsers around the globe are from, how this compares to others sites and how it changes over time,” says General Manager of Nielsen Online, Ivan Fuyala.

The online environment has no limit to geographical barriers; making the Marketing Intelligence GEO report particularly helpful for clients who would like to understand how websites and categories are performing by location. For example the comparison of brand ranking performance between Australia and New Zealand, showing insights into low-density versus high-density online visitor activity.

Nielsen Online’s Market Intelligence service has always allowed clients to identify the number of unique browsers from outside of New Zealand. However, “The new module certainly helps complete the picture for advertising agencies and marketing professionals aiming to reach certain target groups outside of the local market,” says Fuyala.
