MailOnline records its highest-ever monthly, daily and hourly traffic in July
The Spanish train crash, Trayvon Martin’s court case, the birth of the royal baby and the death of Glee star Cory Monteith all contributed to MailOnline’s biggest month ever, recording 134,544,177 unique visitors.
“I am pleased that each month we grow our audiences to new highs not just in the UK, but in the United States and around the English-speaking globe," said MailOnline publisher Martin Clarke. “What is exciting is the fact that these surges in traffic are coming predominantly from our core, loyal audience which is bookmarking our home page and visiting us directly, versus indirect traffic from external sources.”
As well as record monthly traffic, MailOnline also saw its biggest traffic day yet with 10.5 million unique visitors, and also broke its all-time hourly traffic record with one million unique visitors within a single hourly period.
MailOnline’s North American CRO Rich Sutton, commented: “This is very good news for our advertisers, who are enjoying valued-added traffic far beyond our delivery guarantees.”
Clarke added: “Our readers don’t just come to us to be informed, they also come to be entertained. We do both.”
The MailOnline’s record traffic falls in the same month that The Drum also received its highest ever traffic in a single month with 778,802 visits making it the best read media and marketing website in the UK.
