Daily Mail No1 in Europe

Although not very popular on AnswerBank, it seems that most of Europe make it their number one website.

So are the users of AB not a true representation of most in Europe?

[Gromit]

We are mainly interested in Car insurance according to the Alexa data.

[AB Editor]

I must say Chuck, I'm rather fond of it.

[pa___ul3]

so the average reader is a 65+ mail with no college education browsing from school!?! Or am I reading the graphs wrong?

[AB Editor]

You're reading it wrong.

[ChuckFickens]

You're reading the graphs wrong, I don't think any postcards use this site.

whilst I agree with gromits initial comments what puzzles me is that although the news part of the daily mail is well represented for viewer comments, the sport part is almost ignored, yet the sun newspaper which has a less user friendly layout but the same sport stories has loads and loads of comments.

I'm glad I'm reading them wrong! Not glad I'm spelling male wrong though, my brain has switched to Friday afternoon!!

as said, having scantily clad women all over the home page helps.

[Brenden]

Are we including children and babies in this 60 million readers?

Just a clarification Old Git

Wetting the bed and waking up crying does not entitle you to claim you sleep like a baby

And the Daily Mail is often accused of making false and over exaggerated claims.

Can't see any of those 'scantily clad women all over the home page' that you refer to, just a couple on the 'FEMAIL TODAY' section it seems.

AOG, they're there every day on the femail strip down the side... it's fair to say I've noticed!! Not as many today though!

Then they are for female attention, not for male titillation.

"Can't see any of those 'scantily clad women all over the home page' that you refer to, just a couple on the 'FEMAIL TODAY' section it seems."

On the page you linked to, AOG, I counted 14 pictures of scantily clad women. If I were you, I'd get a wider screen.

triggerhippy and Ankou are correct: the Mail website is a different beast from the newspaper in many ways, much more celebrity fluff and lots of women in bikinis (as rojash points out, you may need a wider screen to see them: I have just had to replace a wide screen with a regular size one, and the photos to the right have vanished). The website places much less emphasis on rightwing rants and more on trivia than the newspaper.

It's strange how many of us criticise the Daily Mail but so many of us still seem to read it!

As was said earlier, many of the links from AB are to the Daily Mail website.

Perhaps we're more fond of it than we care to admit? There must be some reason that so many of us read it.

"the Daily Mail is often accused of making false and over exaggerated claims"

Yes, because it does.

"There must be some reason that so many of us read it"

I sometimes read its website as I'm interested in media mis-representation, and the DM is a very rich source for studying this.
