Golden January for FIRST online, an independent economics and finance site published by AL Iniziative editoriali, which in January 2020 totaled - according to Google Analytics - over 2 million visits: to be precise, 2 million and 53 thousand and 627. At the aggregate level, i.e. considering the 100 and 284 views of the FIRSTonline Facebook page and the visits to the FIRSTonline services published on the Microsoft Italia portal (www.msn.it), the January contacts rise to 2.490.684.
It is the second best result ever in its eight and a half years of life and it is a result that it comes close to the record of February 2019, when FIRSTonline collected 2 million and 151.836 direct contacts at a direct level and over 2 million and 700 thousand at an aggregate level.
It is the sign that, even on the Net, the quality and independence of information pay off in the end. After all, the January result is not an isolated fact but the tip of the iceberg of an upward trend that has lasted since the summer for FIRSTonline.
The lion's share in the month of January was above all service articles, and in particular those which illustrated the tax and regulatory innovations of the latest Budget Law. The most read article was in fact the one on car tax news (182 thousand visits), followed by the one on tax deductions for healthcare expenses (91.650 visits) and from that on electronic receipt (89.800). But also the insights on topical issues have received the approval of the public: among the most read the one on skyscrapers of Milan (65.380), the one on the effects of the demographic crisis in Italy (65.160) and the one on the birth of the London underground (63.640) in the fortune column Accadde Oggi.
The Lancette dell'economia, which comes out on the first weekend of the month, and the weekend interviews are also very popular.
