Double visit record for FIRSTonline in January, which also saw the birth of FIRST Tutorial, the fourth site of the AL Iniziative Editoriali publishing group.
In January, direct visits to FIRSTonline reached an all-time high, settling – according to Google Analytics surveys – close to one million and 600 thousand: they were exactly 1.591.135 with a leap of about 260 contacts compared to the previous record (1.333.393) of July 2018. Which means that in January FIRSTonline received over 50 direct visits per day, i.e. net of contacts on social networks and on the Microsoft Italia portal of which FIRSTonline is the official supplier of economics and finance.
But if the contacts registered on the Facebook page and above all the visits collected by the journalistic services of FIRSTonline on MSN are added to these data, the record is double because the aggregate contacts rise to 2 million 222 thousand and 380, or more than 50 thousand more than the record July aggregate (2.169.870). In aggregate terms, the average daily contacts collected by FIRSTonline on the various platforms where it is present therefore rise to over 70.
What determined the leap forward in January visits? The combination of quality information – of which the weekend interviews with the protagonists of economic and financial life and the comments that accompany the daily news are a particular testimony – and service information which aims to always be clear and simple but precise and punctual and which in January found fertile ground in the main government measures such as the basic income, Quota 100 for pensions and the flat tax for VAT numbers.
In short, a month to frame that we hope to replicate immediately.
