MCV adds social media as total readership soars

MCV has increased its print and web readership to highest-ever levels.

A Google Analytics audit has shown that MCVuk.com attracted 374,038 unique visitors and 826,926 page views in November, both record figures for the site.

Also, the weekly print edition is continuing to benefit from its digital distribution via Apple iPad and PC browser. Combined weekly circulation during November was 15,000 directly-targeted trade readers. iPad subscriptions alone are now past 4,000.

And as of this week, you can now follow MCV via our brand new Facebook page, in addition to our existing Twitter, RSS, mobile and daily email services.

We’ve also plugged Twitter and Facebook buttons into all our online articles, so you can share MCV content with colleagues and friends with ease.

"It’s all part of our goal to make MCV available across as many channels as possible, delivering maximum convenience to readers and extra value to advertisers," said publisher and Intent Media boss Stuart Dinsey.

Meanwhile, the MCV iPhone app has been downloaded 2,598 times since its launch just over a month ago, while the MCV iPad app now has an installed base of 4,255 since making its debut in the summer.

With this latest expansion into the world of social networking, MCV will further consolidate its position as the leading news source for the games industry.
