Forbes.com Traffic Surges in December

Forbes.com is out with its December stats.

The financial Website had 19.94 million unique visitors for the month, up 46% year-over-year. The entire Forbes Digital profile (Forbes.com, ForbesTraveler.com, Investopedia.com, RealClearPolitics.com, RealClearMarkets.com, RealClearSports.com and the Forbes.com Business and Finance Blog Network) had a total of 42 million uniques.

Real Clear Politics became a go-to site for millions of people as the 2008 election came to a head, while the blog network saw increased traffic due to the Wall Street roller coaster.

Interestingly, circulation for Forbes magazine is 5.4 million, a fraction of the online readership.
