Future’s latest tech site exceeds expectations, whilst T3.com and TechRadar deliver record breaking figures.
15/11/11 - Future Publishing’s latest technology website Gizmodo UK has enjoyed a fantastic launch month, delivering over 452,600 unique users during October.
Launched by Future on Thursday 29 September, in partnership with the US based Gawker Media, Gizmodo UK celebrates gadgets and technology, science and smart design – all presented in its own unique voice, with user comment and discussion. In its first month the infamous site generated over four million page views and over 6,000 reader comments.
Gizmodo UK sits alongside Future’s other high profile tech websites, T3.com and TechRadar, which both enjoyed record breaking traffic during October.
TechRadar recorded almost nine million global unique users to its site, a 130% increase year-on-year, while the recently re-launched T3 website has proved extremely popular with a huge number of video views and 1.34 million global uniques, increasing 63% on last year’s figures.
Nial Ferguson, Group Publishing Director of Future’s Technology Division, says: “I’m delighted that the launch of Gizmodo UK has been such a phenomenal success. Traffic to the site has far exceeded even our ambitious expectations and it has helped strengthen our position at the UK’s largest Technology Publisher as it is clear that Gizmodo UK has drawn in a completely new set of tech consumers.
T3.com’s redesign has also received an exceptional response and has broken every previous traffic record. T3 is firmly the UK’s biggest multi platform technology brand.”
Nick Merritt, Publisher of TechRadar, added: “TechRadar goes from strength to strength and the record-breaking traffic is another sign of how much consumers trust our coverage, especially during massive events like Apple’s iPhone launch.”
Future is the UK’s biggest technology publisher and its print, digital and event properties now reach over 5.1 million tech fans each month.
