I’m often asked how big this site is. And as January 07 was a new record month, I thought it’d be fun to let any other numbers nerds see the figures.
The Site Stats As On 1 Feb 2007
• MoneySavingExpert.com pages were viewed 48 million times during January
• It was visited 5.9 million times during January 07
• 2.48 million UK users visited the site at least once in January (ie unique users).
• 922,000 people have opted to receive the weekly email and this is growing by over 2000 a day on average
• The Forum has 148,000 members (membership is free of course)who have started 322,000 threads and written 4,010,000 posts. That is equivalent to over 10,000 paperback books (and equivalent to 20 paperback books being written there every day).
And if you want to see the contrast… the Site Stats as at 1 September 2006
