December 11th 2007 00:37
Since the New York Times shed the last vestige of its online pay-to-subscribe system, its traffic has been going gangbusters.
TechCrunch reports that according to comScore, it gained 7.5 million readers worldwide from the end of August through the end of October, 64 percent jump to a total of 19.4 million.
Worldwide monthly page views surged 52 percent in that time period to 181 million.
Other major news outlets saw gains as well during the American autumn period, but nothing compared to the New York Times.
BusinessWeek.com had 4.4 million readers in October, WSJ.com had 3.6 million, (with a subscriber wall), and Wired.com had 3.2 million.
