Allure Media breaks monthly million mark!
Allure Media has started the year with a bang, celebrating the first time its monthly unique browsers (UBs) has topped the one million mark – and this without including its brand new Sugar network.
Allure Media’s result of 1.02 million* came off the back of an 11% increase in its Lifehacker monthly UB audience, now 266,000, and a 5% jump for Gizmodo, now 447,000.
In addition, both sites lead the technology category for average session duration. With an impressive 18 minutes, Lifehacker boasts at least three times the engagement of all other technology sites.
January was also the first month that Lifehacker had a larger audience than Australian IT, beating it by 37,000 UBs.
“It goes to show that in-depth technology information, news, analysis and comment deliver an engaged and growing audience,†said Allure Media managing director Chris Janz.
Meanwhile Allure Media’s women’s lifestyle network that includes FabSugar, BellaSugar and PopSugar, is generating more than 1.1 million page views a month with 242,000 UBs.
“There is a high engagement for the lifestyle category with 4.63 pages viewed per user session, and average session duration almost six minutes across the network.
“We ran Grammys on the Sugar network on Monday and it generated a 300% increase in typical daily traffic. We published more than 100 posts dedicated to Grammys in our six-hour coverage of red carpet arrivals, fashion, beauty, the awards and press room interviews. It was another great result from our high-performance publishing model,†added Janz.
