Ekklesia has one of the most visited religious web sites in the UK. Because we work on a not-for-profit basis, and wish to promote ethical products we also offer some of the cheapest advertising rates too.

How many people visit the Ekklesia web site?

Many web sites won't tell you how many people visit their pages, or will blind you will figures such as "hits" that don't actually mean much when it comes to advertising. We believe it is important and open to be honest about these things, but also provide information that is meaningful. Ekklesia.co.uk receives in excess of 6,000 individual visitors each day. This figure does not double or triple count those people who visit the site twice or three times a day. Each of these is an individual, unique visitor to the site. About 10% of our web visitors visit our shop. The most popular area on the site is our news pages.

Do people buy through the Ekklesia web site?

During 2006 and 2007 through its web site alone, Ekklesia raised over £250,000 for peace, justice and development work. This was primarily through sales of a range of fairtrade and ethical goods. People also gave substantial amounts of money to charity through the site. In addition to this figure people purchased in excess of £50,000 worth of books, CDs and videos directly through the Ekklesia site.

Who visits the Ekklesia web site?

Our visitors are from around the world, but with the majority coming from the UK. Most have an interest in religion, politics and issues of fairtrade and peace and justice. We also have a high percentage of visitors interested in theology and theological education.
