USA Today, Phoenix stay in top-30 sites list

The number of unique visitors to USA Today's website rose 9.1% in December, to 9.9 million, from the year before, Editor & Publisher says. The site ranked No. 2 in uniques behind The New York Times, which had 17.2 million. In Phoenix, the Arizona Republic attracted 1.4 million users, down a steep 36.6% from December 2006, E&P says.

  1. No surprise in Phoenix' drop in visitors. The newspaper's web site is a mess.

    Looking for real news? Look elsewhere, the homepage is dominated by celebrity scuttlebutt and silly hot or not polls and guides to the best places to drink.

    Real news stories have the shelf life of a fruit fly, they go up and come down before anyone's had a chance to read them. The same with videos.

    Extraterrestrial visitors to Phoenix would think the residents are alcoholics obsessed with Lindsey Lohan or Ashley Olson.
