Independent title storms user engagement chart in monthly IPSOS figures

Ipsos Full Logo (RGB)An independent hyperlocal website has stormed into the monthly chart for user engagement as the January traffic stats for regional websites are revealed today.

The Bedford Independent ranked second in the UK for the metric with users spending an average 9.48 minutes on the site.

Top honours for user engagement once again went to Newsquest’s newsandstar.co.uk, companion website for the Carlisle News & Star, which averaged 10.8 minutes per visitor.

Tindle Newspapers’ cambrian-news.co.uk – the website of Aberystwyth-based weekly the Cambrian News – placed fourth in January after topping the chart in December.

In terms of overall audience, Reach sites continued to dominate the lists, with Birmingham Live topping the tables for both unique users and page views.

Birmingham Live amassed more than 65m page views in January – up 28pc on the same month in 2023 – ahead of the Manchester Evening Newson 53m and Liverpool Echo with 49m.

Despite not being updated since 30 November, the 13 Reach sites that closed as a result of the company’s recent cutbacks continued to rack up tens of thousands of page views.

Sussex Live, Hampshire Live, Dorset Live, Bedfordshire Live and Northants Live all topped 100,000 page views for the month.

The full list showing the total number of unique users is below. Scroll down for the table showing total number of page views per user and average minutes per user tables.

The titles are listed in order of the most recent, January 2024 metrics, which can be found in the middle column.

Websites which are ‘untagged’ are reported based on observed panel behaviour. These sites can experience volatility from month to month.

When a website is untagged, it means that it relies solely on data collected from the Ipsos Iris user-centric panel. Tagging enhances measurement, particularly for smaller sites, by improving the accuracy of the reported data.

For more information on tagging and measurement please visit https://iris.ipsos.com/ or email [email protected].
