WND growth skyrockets

In a dramatic upsurge, WorldNetDaily experienced greater growth in
the month of February than almost any other online news source,
according to a leading Internet research firm.

According to PCDataOnline,
WorldNetDaily.com had a spectacular 59.5 percent increase in page views
in February over the previous month, as well as a 35 percent increase
over January in "unique visitors" -- the number of different people who
visit a website during the survey period. Regardless of how many times a
visitor logs onto a site, he is counted only one time as a "unique
visitor."

Some highlights from the February statistics:

• WND jumped from 180,000 "unique visitors" in January to
  243,000 in February -- a 35 percent increase.

• Page views skyrocketed from 6,210,000 in January to 9,902,000 in
  February -- an extraordinary 59.5 percent increase. With 9,902,000 page
  views, WND now ranks 17th among all news sites in page views -- behind
  MSNBC (#1), CNN (#3) and Drudge (#9), and ahead of FoxNews (#21), Los
  Angeles Times (#25) and the Associated Press (#37).

• In the all-important category of "stickiness" -- a measure of how
  much time readers spend on a website -- WorldNetDaily ranked ninth in
  the "News Sites" category -- behind MSNBC, but ahead of CNN and Fox.
  "Stickiness" is considered an index of reader loyalty, and WorldNetDaily
  has consistently ranked very high in this area.

• Overall, encompassing all websites of all types on the World Wide
  Web, WND jumped from number 3,821 (based on the number of unique
  visitors) in January to number 2,742 in February -- a rank advancement
  of 1,079, or 28.24 percent.

• With the single exception of the New York Post, WorldNetDaily was
  ranked by PCDataOnline as having experienced greater growth in almost
  every meaningful category than any other online news site.

A leading Internet research firm, PCDataOnline surveys "unique
visitors" from a panel of over 105,000 real-time home users of the
Internet -- the largest domestic home panel of any Internet measurement
firm.

PCDataOnline's services are also used, through an exclusive
agreement, by Top9.com, which ranks and
showcases the top nine websites in various categories. Since Top9.com's
inception in early December, WND has ranked within the top nine news
sources, according to the site.

Although the current higher PCDataOnline numbers for WorldNetDaily
haven't yet posted on Top9.com, WND still ranks just behind eight other
large corporate or government-funded news sources, including, in order:
MSNBC.com, CNN.com, ABCnews.com, BBC.com, FOXnews.com, CNBC.com,
NPR.com, CBC.ba (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) and
WorldNetDaily.com.

WorldNetDaily also has topped Global 100's
charts for 36 weeks over the course of a little more than a year. The
Global 100 ranking is based on active voting by tens of thousands of
Internet users and is another measure of reader loyalty, rather than a
source of hard numbers.
