The increase in visitors shows a surge of 19 percent from the previous month and 83 percent in year-on-year data. The site also reports 1.7 million visits a day, a record for British online news sites.
MailOnline Publisher Michael Clark commented on the figures, maintaining the value of cultivating "dedicated audiences who make a conscious effort to visit us as trusted providers of news." Speaking of issues facing British news sites in general, Clark said "British newspaper web sites need to prove that they are doing more than providing free content to third party aggregators who deliver low value casual users."

The site also saw the most traffic ever within the United Kingdom in June, with 8.3 million uniques, a 4 percent increase over the previous month and 67 percent increase compared to June 2008.
