IT’S not every day you knock a well known regional newspaper, a national newspaper and a popular consumer site into a cocked hat!

But this week we find the Olive Press website ranking at 12,636th position in the world, according to Amazon’s Alexa.com.

That is out of billions of websites and, in perspective, puts us above both the respected Liverpool Echo (13,156th), Scotland’s prestigious Daily Record (22,815th) and well known Mumsnet at 17,210th position.

It also places www.theolivepress.es in the Top 1000 sites in Spain and the UK.

MILLIONS OF VISITORS

This boils down to visitor numbers and pages viewed and we had 1.5 MILLION pages read over the last four weeks (see Google Analytics graph above), with 1.2 MILLION visits.

Using the research of another respected site Similar Web we discovered that the Euro Weekly News is getting under a third of our traffic, while the Sur in English and the Costa Blanca News a fraction of that.
