BROOKLYN , NY
January 31, 2008
Everyday
Health, which is operated by Waterfront Media, the largest privately
held online
health company, grew 349%, more than any other Internet property
in 2007, according to a new study by comScore Media Metrix. The
percentage growth for the online health leader, which receives
more than 12 million unique visitors, was higher than any other
U.S.
Internet property, including established brands like Craigslist.org,
Wikipedia, Google, and Facebook.com. The increased size also resulted
in Everyday Health being named for the first time as one of the
top 100 properties.
In its annual ranking of U.S. Internet trends,
comScore highlighted the success of the no. 2 health destination
online. "Everyday
Health was the only property in 2007 to more than triple its traffic,
placing us among the Internet's most established and popular brands," said
Ben Wolin, Waterfront Media's CEO and co-founder. "This growth
allows Everyday Health to continue to expand and better serve the
needs of our growing advertiser base by offering a host of targeted
opportunities to reach ever more numbers of consumers seeking to
manage their health and live better lives."
"We're already off to a hugely successful 2008," Wolin
added. "We expect to continue this steep trendline upward for
traffic throughout the coming year."
