The largest news site that you have never heard of is EXPLODING — OpposingViews.com, the independent news website focused on local stories that bring a fresh perspective to national issues, reported that its traffic has surged nine-fold over the past two years to average more than 23 million unique visitors per month through the first half of 2015.
OpposingViews.com has grown from 2.8 million unique monthly visitors in 2013 (Google Analytics), making the site one of the foremost “digital native news” portals on the Web. The site’s recent growth has enabled it to surpass more recognized competitors including Slate, Gawker, Salon, The Daily Beast, Politico and Vox (comScore).
Says Opposing Views CEO Vic Belonogoff, “Our aggressive growth strategy has made Opposing Views considerably more popular than many of its far better known competitors. We have been able to adapt quickly to technology and changes in how today’s audience consumes and shares news.”
“Our goal is to move nimbly and quickly, leveraging technology and our independent advantage to make Opposing Views a top-10 news source across all digital publishing platforms,” said Eytan Elbaz, chairman of Opposing Views and co-creator of AdSense technology, acquired by Google.
The dramatic growth achieved by the OpposingViews.com website has been mirrored on the company’s social media channels. On Facebook alone, Opposing Views reaches more than 60 million unique users per month per likes, shares, comments amongst its nearly four million fans. In addition, the company’s rapidly expanding video news coverage generates more than 20 million views per month across platforms.
Added Belonogoff, “Our audience is poised to grow even more as the 2016 presidential campaign intensifies.”
