NYT traffic jumps after paywall drop

by Mathew on November 15, 2007 · Comments

More ammunition (for those who need more) for the dropping of the New York Times’ pay wall: according to Nielsen data for October, the paper’s readership — in terms of unique visitors — jumped to 17.5 million in October, up from 14.6 million the month before. A rise of almost 3 million uniques in a single month is pretty incredible. Maybe it was all that Britney Spears coverage. Hat tip for the link goes to Beet, which has posted a video interview with Vivian Schiller of the Times.

    The "Share This" feature should have an option to send this entry to your bosses at the Globe and Mail. Maybe they'll follow the NYT's lead.
  • Thanks, John. I can assure you that they've heard plenty of such comments already -- including some from me :-)
