News on geospatial market attracted record number of visitors to the largest geospatial web portal in Latin America
MundoGEO, a leader in events planning and publishing magazines and portals to the geotechnology industry in Latin America reached an all time record of 7,986 visits on March 12, 2013, a positive response to the team effort in producing quality content and investment in social networks. The previous record was 7,901 daily visits in October 2012. The portal closed the week with approximately 40 thousand hits.
“This week was really special for MundoGEO because since Monday the website accesses had already shown significant visit numbers, beyond compare with a record of almost 8,000 hits a day”, said Eduardo Freitas, editor of the MundoGEO magazine and web portal. “Among the factors that led us to this record, in addition to the large amount of news about job opportunities, there were the novelties presented by IBGE, which released new maps of land use, and also the acquisition of CharPointer – and the software Topograph – by Bentley Systems, which ‘shaked’ the topography market in Brazil”, he adds.
