Hitwise ande ComScore Stats - May 2008

Back in April I had a plan to regularly publish a blog showing monthly stats from Hitwise and ComScore.  I'm not sure what happened, but here are the figures from May.

If you read the ukrecruiter newsletter (and if not, why not!) you'll know each week we publish the Hitwise's top 10 most visited UK recruitment sites.

Once a month I get the equivalent stats from ComScore.  Here are May's figures.

comScore: Top 10 Career Services & Development Sites by UK Unique Visitors (000) – May 2008*

Total U.K. Internet Audience 34,489
Career Services and Development 10,197

Jobcentreplus.gov.uk: 2,729
Totaljobs: 1,715
Monster: 1,331
Reed.co.uk: 1,276
Fish4jobs: 999
NHS Careers: 970
CareerBuilder: 889
Jobsite: 847
CV-Library: 647
1job.co.uk: 529

*Unique users aged 15+, excludes traffic from public computers such as internet cafes or access from mobile phones or PDAs

The Hitwise top 20 Recruitment Sites, for May 2008 are:

www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk
www.jobs.nhs.uk
www.totaljobs.com
www.reed.co.uk
www.monster.co.uk
www.linkedin.com
jobs.tes.co.uk
www.jobsite.co.uk
www.s1jobs.com
jobs.guardian.co.uk
www.cv-library.co.uk
www.1job.co.uk
www.axcis.co.uk
www.jobcentreonline.com
www.workcircle.com
www.jobstoday.co.uk
jobs.trovit.co.uk
www.clickajob.co.uk
www.jobs.ac.uk
www.jobserve.com

If you are looking to compare these stats the main differences are that ComScore include sites like Fish4 (Hitwise don't aggregate data from sites who form part of a network) and that comScore don't include LinkedIn (they class LinkedIn as a social networking site and rank it under their "conversational media" category as opposed to the "Careers Services and development" category we are seeing above).

This is great. Will this be updated on a regular basis?

That's the plan. Although I may not always post at the same time each month.
