Brand42 are delighted to see such a success since the redesign of Mail Online, as the site leapfrogs guardian.co.uk and Telegraph.co.uk with a gain of nearly 5m users in June, with 29,373,379 unique users. This is the second highest ever monthly figure for a UK newspaper website, behind only guardian.co.uk's 29,811,671 unique users in January. Mail Online was up by just over 4.7 million unique users compared with May, a month-on-month jump of 19%. This was an 83% boost over June last year (just after the relaunch of the new Mail Online site designed by Brand42), according to the latest figures from the Audit Bureau of Circulations Electronic, published yesterday.
"Obviously we are delighted to have regained the number one spot in terms of monthly unique visitors and we are particularly pleased with the increase in UK traffic. This is the result of steady and consistent growth since the redesign of our site in May 2008," said Martin Clarke, Mail Online publisher.
