Yahoo top news site in June 2007
Michael Gay July 13th, 2007
Here are the top news sites according to Unique Visitors in the U.S. for June 2007, according to Nielsen/Netratings. (via Cyberjournalist)
-
Brand or Channel Unique Audience (000)
- Yahoo! News 32,293
- CNN Digital Network 28,321 (Includes Internet Broadcasting)
- MSNBC 27,434
- AOL News 21,938
- NYTimes.com 12,535
- Gannett Newspapers 12,279
- Tribune Newspapers 12,038
- ABCNEWS Digital Network 10,852
- Google News 9,195
- CBS News Digital Network 8,682
The biggest shift happened with AOL News gaining 5 million uniques since May 2007. This comes in the last month before the site relaunched as a blog. We’ll see how that affects the numbers when the July Nielsen numbers are released.
Also, I’m hoping to get this same list with the total time on site metric that Nielsen is now using. I haven’t seen it posted yet, so if you have that let me know.
Ads Contrary below: AOL began rolling TMZ up into AOL News in June . TMZ now has AOL News branding. This is probably the cause of the big increase in uniques in the Nielsen data.

you see three who refer to themselves as “networks”?
generally, don’t networks work in a fashion so as to promote all others in it?

btw-
is the use of the term ‘Channel’ a Nielsen publication?
! hope so.

I noticed that too. Also notice there are newspaper groups. Next they’ll be including all news sites that begin with the letter T.

Don’t know if they did this in the Nielsen data, but in comScore data, AOL began rolling TMZ up into AOL News in June . TMZ now has AOL News branding. This is probably the cause of the big increase in uniques in the Nielsen data. The change to blog style is likely having no significant impact on audience.
