Washington Post site attracts record traffic figures
February 6th, 2008Posted by Laura Oliver in Online Journalism, Traffic
According to an internal note posted on Fishbowl DC, Washingtonpost.com broke its personal best for web traffic last month.
Political stories were particularly popular, writes Jim Brady, executive editor of the site, with traffic to politics articles almost doubling and a 60 per cent increase in unique users to this section.
Brady reports an increase in traffic across all sections – something he puts down in part to a big news month and a new design for the site’s story pages.
