Manchesteronline, the website of the Manchester Evening News, has been ranked 16th in a survey of Internet sites operated by print media companies.

The survey was conducted by market research company Hitwise, which monitors the surfing habits of 8.4m surfers in the UK each day.

Figures for the week ending August 9 show that Manchesteronline accounted for around one per cent of all surfing involving print media sites, placing it above the Daily Mirror site.

Figures also showed that visitors spent an average time of five minutes and 25 seconds on the ManchesterOnline site during the month.

The statistics from Hitwise can show who a website’s competitors are, find new entrants in the category, identify fast movers, work out the category market share and display the effectiveness of daily initiatives.
