FT sees big increase in online users

The Financial Times saw a 60 percent increase in unique users at its site in March, writes Laura Oliver of Journalism.co.uk.

Oliver writes, “FT.com attracted a record 11.2 million unique users last month compared with 7,113,132 in March 2008, when the ABCe last released figures for the site.

“The website generated 83.2 million page views over the same period — a 15.6 per cent (11,252,124) year-on-year rise.

Last week ABCe figures put Telegraph.co.uk as the most popular UK newspaper website for March in terms of unique users with 27,708,274.

“Last month the site also had more than 1.2 million registered users, a spokesman told Journalism.co.uk – an increase from 500,000 last July.”
