MEN Reveals Web Traffic Stats

Data detailing online traffic figures is being made public by the Manchester Evening News.

Holdthefrontpage.co.uk reports that the MEN is the first regional newspaper to publish its web statistics alongside print circulation information.

Initial figures show that the MEN’s website was visited by over 1.5 million unique users during the course of November last year.

“We acknowledge that these remain challenging times for our industry and have responded by breaking new ground in how we get the news to people in our area,” commented Mark Rix, managing director at MEN Media.

He added: “We aren’t frightened of facing the circulation decline of the regional press full on and looking for ways to attract new readers while maintaining our important paid for readers.”
