“We believe ABCe is a meaningful metric, but we do still have some reservations about the spread of published data,” Paul Hood, MGN's head of digital, told the Guardian.

The company’s key sites, including mirror.co.uk, sundaymirror.co.uk, people.co.uk and dailyrecord.co.uk, will appear on the group report.

The fantasy football site, youthemanager.co.uk, as well as mirrorbingo.co.uk, scotcareers.co.uk and scotwheels.co.uk will be incorporated.

Following MGN’s decision, the only UK national newspaper groups not publishing Web traffic through ABCe, are the Independent, the Financial Times and Express Newspapers, the Guardian reported.
