The Drudge Report – A Clear Winner in Election 2008
The Drudge Report surpassed its record serving more than 200 million ad impressions in one day through the Intermarkets Portfolio.
Reston, Va. – November 5, 2008 – “Election Day 2008 proved to be the biggest one-day draw for The Drudge Report (www.drudgereport.com). People were glued to their computer screens to get the most current news on their candidates,” said Intermarkets CEO Kevin Lucido. “The real winner of the election is new media as demonstrated by the huge number of online visitors.” More than 2.2 million unique visitors accessed the site on Tuesday.
“This election also showed that news readers are pulling away from increasingly biased, old media—TV and newspapers—and gravitating toward Web-based news sites for targeted and quality information,” said Lucido.
October was the best month yet for The Drudge Report as ad impressions topped 3 billion. “Intermarkets provided The Drudge Report with smoothly run, problem-free ad management as the site’s viewing audience quickly expanded during the past month,” said Lucido. “Our team proved itself once again by staying ahead of the influx and preparing for these enormous bursts of traffic.”
The Drudge Report, published by Matt Drudge, engages millions of people every day and ranks far above other web-based news sites. It’s consistently a sought-after online source of current events and top news stories.
“Once again, the American public has voted, selecting The Drudge Report for unbiased news and information that matters, when it matters most,” Lucido added.
