ABCe February 2010: Mail Online takes top spot
Mail Online was the nation’s most read online national newspaper in February, according to data released by ABCe.
Last month saw a change in how ABCe data is reported, putting the focus on daily figures. Mail Online reported a daily average unique browser figure of 2.2 million in February, up 5% on January. An overall monthly figure of 36 million unique browsers puts the site firmly in the top spot.
Trailing behind with a daily average of around 1.9 million browsers is Guardian.co.uk, down 3.2% month on month. The Guardian has been extremely popular with the online population over the last few years but last month’s change in metric could see its success dampened.

ABCe no longer reports Unique Users and has simplified this metric to Unique Browsers, brought on by a call in the industry to focus more on daily figures, rather than monthly and this has been highlighted in the way the figures are formatted in ABCe’s reporting.
