Cape Town - The 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand was good for Sport24, with 722 680 domestic users and a total of 1 000 138 users choosing to spend some time on South Africa’s biggest sports website.
The 247 000 users who accessed the WAP site was also a record.
Obviously none of the above would be possible without 'Big Brother' News24, who provided close on 75% of the traffic ... and as said, this was definitely powered by the World Cup. As is the case with most traffic surges in our business, they are a reflection of what we get to report on.
How one covers said news differentiates one from competitors though, so to be 174 000 domestic users ahead of our nearest competitor in October is a reflection of a top effort.
