Future websites attracting over 11m unique users per month

Future publishing’s portfolio of websites, which includes TechRadar.com and GamesRadar.com, are attracting over 11 million unique users per month, figures released today suggest.

GamesRadar alone attracts three million page views a day, according to the publisher’s financial report for the six months to March 31.

The report also stated that revenue from digital advertising now accounts for 19 per cent of the group’s total advertising revenue – an increase from 15 per cent last year.

“Our digital strategy, which attracts the lion’s share of our investment in new product development, is at a very exciting stage. With the launch of MusicRadar and TechRadar networks earlier this year, we now have pillar online properties in each of our specialist sectors,” Stevie Smith, chief executive of Future, said in the release.

However, operating profit for the publisher fell from £7.7 million over the same period in 2007 to £5.2 million.
