Blick Online again ahead of 20minuten.ch

 In February, the news portal Blick Online once again managed to outpace its competitor 20minuten.ch in terms of user numbers, after the free newspaper’s website had held the lead in unique clients over the past three months. This is according to the latest figures from Net-Metrix Audit. This time, Blick Online leads in both unique clients (the number of different computers used to access a specific website) and visits (the number of times a website is visited). However, despite February being a short month due to the leap day, both sites saw a decline in visits compared to the previous month: Blick Online lost 5.0 percentage points, and 20minuten.ch lost 10.8 percentage points. The two media sites NZZ Online and Tages-Anzeiger.ch also managed to hold their positions in the top ten. The top three in terms of visits are Bluewin, Blick Online, and Search.ch. In terms of unique clients, Bluewin, Search.ch, and Directories.ch occupy the top three spots.
In February, Net-Metrix-Audit collected usage data from a total of 178 websites. New additions include Billetnet.ch, Bonresto.ch, Cineromandie.ch, Quicklinks.ch, Tempslibre.ch, Trouvez.ch, and Webdopresse.
