The data from Google Analytics are in, regarding the OAE Portal activity in 2013. There is a light decrease of accesses per month (5300) probably due due to the fact that the sections with the powerpoint lectures and white paper were available in the old site , for which we don't have tracking statistics.
The accesses from the Americas still display the highest ranking with 41.38% , followed by European accesses with 30.98% . There is a rather strong increase in the accesses from Asia (19.94 %), a number tripled over the last 2 years.
Comparison data can be found in the sponsoring pages of the Portal.
