November user numbers increased by 15.2 percent from October, and 100.8 percent from November 2006, when the site recorded just 6,374,362 unique users. From October to November, page impressions rose by five million, to 109,278,179, MediaGuardian reported.

The growth puts the Telegraph in third place behind Guardian Unlimited and the Daily Mail online for user numbers in the United Kingdom, and ahead of Times Online.

“Telegraph.co.uk is going from strength to strength,” Edward Roussel, digital editor of Telegraph Media Group, told Brand Republic. “We are optimistic about 2008, which will be a year of innovation and significant change for the Telegraph's digital operation.”
