A million visits to MSE a day? 4 million get the 'Money Tips' email each week? Blimey Charlie.:eek::T

How long before we hear about MSE Palace...................as the replacement venue for MSE Towers?:D

Would this also coincide with your article in the Times? The article on their website had a link to the tips page of the website.

That article came out on a Tue (which was less than 50% of wed traffic).

To be honest this site is now so big almost nothing has an impact on traffic apart from the weekly email.

Even a front page splash in the papers or a prime time TV appearance doesn't alter the traffic graph - though it may bring a few more people to the weekly e-mail.

Out of curiosity does it become more expensive the greater number of visitors or less ??
for example the costs can be divided over more visitors and the possible income from clickable links goes up or is it the other way round ??

If you haven't already tracked traffic on Google Trends which I am sure you do your traffic view over 30 days shows how important your email is to driving traffic as opposed to appearances in the media

Google also looks very inaccurate in terms of trends over the past year compared to your figures.

Putting the detail to one side, congratulations, fantastic achievement for a UK new media website to be doing so well.

Hey, first time I've been allowed to post links !

That's an amazing achievement, especially considering your team is relatively small. Well done to you and your team, Martin, and of course to everyone on these forums as we play our part too, no doubt. I only really visit the main pages if there's something I find interesting and click through to from the weekly email.
