Bestofmedia Group Reports Massive Leap in US Rankings

Company is a Bright Spot in the Online Tech Media Industry

Los Angeles, California– December 16, 2009 - Bestofmedia Group, a leading online tech publisher, reports outstanding positive growth in the US with over five million unique visitors to its sites. According to comScore’s October 2009 report, Bestofmedia Group ranks in the top four in unique visitors for online technology media sites in the US among CNET, IDG and AOL Tech.

“The Internet traffic to our sites is skyrocketing,” said Antoine Boulin, CEO of Bestofmedia LLC, the US subsidiary of Bestofmedia Group. “When we first entered the US market just two years ago, comScore was reporting 500,000 unique visitors and ranking us outside the top 20. Now we are among the top four sites focused on technology in the US as ranked by the number of unique visitors by comScore.”

“I attribute our amazing growth to our unique business model,” Boulin said. “We’re a new type of online tech media company. Unlike our competitors, not only do we have the best in premium editorial, but also we have one of the largest tech-focused communities on the Web. We’re leading the industry by delivering high-quality editorial coverage on news, reviews and articles on tech while at the same time enabling our vast audience to engage socially and share their opinions and content.”

The online media industry continues to flourish as audiences are shifting away from traditional media such as newspapers, print magazines and TV, and moving rapidly towards the Internet for news, information, and amusement. Unlike other technology media publishers that had started in print publications and diversified into online, Bestofmedia Group is a 100% online media company with cutting-edge digital technology to deliver the best online experience for its audience.

Boulin said, “At this success rate, we are well positioned to rapidly ascend to the top two rankings in the US. We anticipate our business to continue to thrive and grow in 2010 and beyond.”
