COMMENT: Tipperary's leading community news website breaks 3m pageviews
The busy community news website tipperarylive.ie is powered by The Nationalist and Tipperary Star
The Premier County's leading news website tipperarylive.ie continues to break records, writes Regional Editor and Digital Development Director for Iconic Media Group, Darren Hassett.
The busy community news website - powered by The Nationalist and Tipperary Star - has seen exponential growth over the last few years but while June of 2024 was a record-breaking month for tipperarylive.ie, July smashed all the records AGAIN!
The previous highest-ever monthly pageviews total for the site came in August 2023 with 2.58m over the four-week period from a total of 540,000 users.
That record - helped by the Local Elections on June 7 of this year - was smashed in June with an astonishing 2.67m pageviews achieved across the month.
But it didn't stop there, I can reveal that the site broke the 3m pageviews mark for the first time ever in July with a whopping 3.2m pageviews over the four weeks - boasting over 800,000 users.
This is an incredible achievement in just five short years and it reflects the continuing move towards the digital era in Tipperary.
The success of the local news website is testament to the hard work of our local teams in Thurles and Clonmel in the Tipperary Star and The Nationalist.
The platform tipperarylive.ie is clearly the number one online news source for people in the county and those abroad, with monthly users of over 800,000 each month - many of whom are expatriates.
We are determined to continue bringing the best local and community news to our readers - in print and online.
But, we cannot do it without you.
We look forward to your continued support.
