Vienna, Va. – October 15, 2009
News sites in the United Kingdom get a healthy number of visitors from the U.S. The most traffic to British news sites comes from the Drudge Report, a U.S.-based news aggregation Web site. In August 2009, 10.6 percent of visitors came from the Drudge Report; Google News followed with 5.3 percent.
According to Internet traffic measurement firm Hitwise, traffic to British news sites from the U.S. is growing nearly seven times as fast as it is growing from British sites.
