CB Blog ahead of trade press pack in May

The CB Blog is once again well ahead of Australian ad trade press* competitors Australian Creative, B&T and AdNews according to Alexa data for the last month. As was the case in the period February to April, 2011.

Whilst we can’t compare the sites using IAB data (as the others choose not to be audited), according to Alexa figures the CB Blog – the only one of the four online trade press titles that is audited by the Audit Bureaux of Australia – is well ahead on all major indices in May, 2011.

Daily page views per user over the same period for the CB Blog is 7.2 page views, compared to B&T with 1.71, AdNews with 1.66 and Australian Creative with 1.6.
