The story is for the online version and:

Data suggests the UK's Daily Mail had 45.35 million unique visitors during December, inching the site ahead of the New York Times with 44.8 million.

But a spokeswoman for the US paper suggested the Mail won by including visitors to a sister site.

Eileen Murphy insisted it remained "the number one individual newspaper site".

Taken individually, dailymail.co.uk attracted 44.5 million unique visitors last month while its financial site, thisismoney.co.uk, attracted 1.03 million.

The New York Times reached 44.8 million unique users.

"It's a roll-up of their properties," argues Ms Murphy.

"In any case, a quick review of our site versus the Daily Mail should indicate quite clearly that they are not in our competitive set," she added

Theres just no contest here.
The New York Times is to The Daily Mail like what Oxford University is to Runcorn College. Yeah, Runcorn college has some shaggable airhead types that everyone likes a cheeky look at, but beyond that its a fking travesty.

Many on here are snobby about it, but I think your first sentence sums up the appeal of the website for many. They take the offline content and add in a whole load more entertainment news and silly stories that secretly a lot of us like reading.

This thread is an excellent opportunity to show the Daily Mail house that looks like Hitler:

I'd like to see The Times figures for comparison.

The Mail is by far the most popular online newspaper. Whatever you thik about the content, the presentation and accessability is superb. The Indi, Guardian and Telegraph are poor in comparison.

The Mail does not go for the lowest common denominator. It is very clever in in procedures. If a political party used the same MO it would walk any election.

Its achievement is that it misinformes, hypes and exagerates, seemingly convincing everyone that house prices vary in inverse proportion to the nubmer of imigrants. When you thikg that both the last and the present governments sold out to Murdoch to get themselves (re)elected when all they had to do was promise the Mail a bit of scandle.

As a website the Mail is an example of top class marketing. Shame that for content it is a bottom feeder.

i was listening to 5live the other day and they had a contributor to the online site on

Apparently they have more people working for their online site than the paper itself.

The USA links on the right hand side has really pushed their readership up with the z-list celebs. apparently its become one of THE sites to visit for z-list news.

though how the conservative links follow the online edition isnt as clear cut though

I actually visit the daily mail website a few times a week but only for the celeb gossip and sometimes to look at the comment section of stories I know are going to elicit hilarious opinions.
