Times Internet Leads Indian E-Space Again

Times Internet Ltd has once again been ranked as the country’s top internet network by Comscore, an agency that tracks online traffic. About 17.5 million unique visitors accessed Times Internet Ltd (TIL) websites in September, compared with 15.7 million for Network 18 and 15.4 million for Rediff.com, according to data compiled by Comscore.
TIL’s audience base grew over 50% in the last one year, on a par with Facebook’s growth and more than double of Google and Yahoo’s.

TIL’s network of websites includes the news portals of Times of India and The Economic Times, music streaming website Gaana.com, online shopping portal Indiatimes.com, zigwheels.com for automobile enthusiasts and deals.com.
The Times of India and The Economic Times websites continued to be the leading news and financial newspaper portals, respectively. The Times of India website had 7.8 million unique visitors, more than double the traffic of its nearest competitor in India.

Within three months of its launch, Gaana.com became the leading music streaming website with 3.17 million unique visitors in September. Around 2.5 million of these visitors were from India, a figure that has tripled in the last three months.

Gaana.com provides free and licensed music through a unique interface. It is also the first major music site deployed in HTML5, and fully compatible on the iPad, thereby making it accessible across platforms.
Zigwheels.com, which offers automobile news, reviews, videos and research, is the leading website in the auto category with 1.6 million unique visitors. And in the hyper-competitive deals space, timesdeal-.com had the second most traffic of all deals sites in India last month.

“Reaching a leadership position in five of our verticals is indeed motivating. This is a result of our continuous effort on innovation and enhancing the user experience, and we intend to keep pushing the envelope with all our verticals,” Times Internet CEO Rishi Khiani said. “The Times network also offers our advertisers a platform to reach out to a wide spectrum of audience.” Through the Indiatimes.com portal, TIL touches the lives of a large audience. Whether it is news, shopping, music, information on automobiles and more, TIL provides a onestop convenient gateway to satisfy diverse needs.
