The world's largest online-only comic book store, NewKadia.com welcomed its 5 millionth shopper earlier today, according to its CEO, Jim Drucker, who cited data provided by Google Analytics, a service provided by Google.
"The back-issue comic book business is booming and our web traffic verifies it," said Drucker. The privately held NewKadia.com, Inc. opened for business on the web on January 1, 2000, but the count of customers by Google started November 22, 2006. The site, www.NewKadia.com is the most trafficked online only comic book store in the world, with the average customer viewing 8.4 pages per visit and spending nearly five minutes at the site per visit, according to Drucker.
In total, the 5 million customers have spent over 47 years browsing 42 million web pages at NewKadia.
"We're attracting over 60,000 new shoppers per month to NewKadia," said Drucker, "and with our returning customers coming back an average of several times a week, we should hit 6 million shoppers by early 2012."
NewKadia inventory exceeds 600,000 back-issue comic books, a 600-fold increase from its initial inventory of 1,000 books and over 10,000 new books are added each week.
The best-selling comic book at NewKadia is Amazing Spider-Man, which has topped the store's best seller list every month for the past 62 months, since the store began keeping records. Classics Illustrated, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Justice League of America, Avengers, Flash, Green Lantern, Batman and Thor round out the Top 10.
Over 50,000 of the books are priced under $1, with prices for one book ranging from 25 cents to over $10,000.
