Today's Web Site:

If you have just installed a commercial, or even personal, web page, you would probably like to get some idea of your expected audience. Most companies do a demographics study or survey to get a better idea of who their customers are and what they need to do to target the largest group of customers.

It's expensive to do your own survey, but you can visit NUA and read the results of their surveys to help you see what's going on in the Internet world and what kind of response you can expect from various groups.
