Got to know some stats about online news organizations from Fred's blog .
New York times - 74 million unique visitors per month
Yahoo News - 67 million unique visitors per month
The Weather Channel - 44 million unique visitors per month
MSNBC and CNN - 36 million (BBC perhaps also at the same level) unique visitors per month
India Times at 22 million unique visitors per month
Sankei and Asahi at roughly 15 million unique visitors per month
Given low internet penetration rates, indiatimes still figures as a major player. Though currently most of the hits might be coming from the indian audience living abroad, but I guess as the internet penetration increases in India, IndiaTimes might exceed NYTimes. It's only a matter of when!!
Just a word to IndiaTimes, most people find the IndiaTimes,(TimesofIndia) website to be wary and at times if not hate, dislike it (there is just no other good alternative). There is just either too much clutter or meaningless advertisements. Just give your website a human touch!
