Future's TechRadar Reports Huge Growth

In the six months since its launch in the U.S., TechRadar.com has experienced explosive growth - placing it above many well established brands in the marketplace. In September, TechRadar showed its highest month to date with more than 5.4 million unique visitors in the U.S. and over 17.3 million global unique visitors, according to comScore Digital Analytix.

TechRadar.com's U.S. coverage combines easy to digest star ratings with very deep tested reviews which help visitors make smart consumer electronic buying decisions. Our 24/7 news cycle provides expert coverage of the technology news consumers are seeking.

"It is our stated ambition that we want TechRadar.com to become one of the largest technology sites in the U.S.," said Rachelle Considine, chief operating officer at Future U.S. "The last six months have shown us that this is a very achievable goal and one that the team are focused on."

TechRadar.com regularly tops the Google search ranking for the most popular search terms, and with the site's focused content strategy firmly in place, TechRadar.com has secured its position as one of the fastest growing technology sites.

Six months ago, TechRadar editors hit the streets to find out exactly how consumers researched technology purchases online. Proof of that research is evidenced in TechRadar's outstanding performance.

"We are extremely excited to have experienced such explosive growth within the first six months," said Kelley Corten, vice president of consumer media at Future U.S. "Our editors have worked diligently to ensure we continue to reach consumers at the point of purchase and help them make informed buying decisions. TechRadar.com is designed to respond to how today's consumer researches and shops for technology and our growth story proves we have hit upon a successful recipe."

The U.S. site is an expansion of the U.K.'s largest technology website and plans to extend TechRadar.com internationally are underway. TechRadar.com's most recent launch was in Australia.
