Rotoworld Scores Best Day Ever for Uniques & Visits
On Wednesday, September 18, Rotoworld generated its best day ever in uniques (621,700) and visits (803,700), boosted in part by news that the Cleveland Browns traded Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts. Rotoworld beat its previous single-day high set just prior to the start of the season on September 3, 2013 (618,700 and 783,200, respectively).
Sunday Night Football Week 2 Social & Digital Traffic Highlights
According to SocialGuide.com, NBC’s Sunday Night Football broadcast featuring San Francisco 49ers -Seattle Seahawks on 9/15/13 was the No. 1 most-talked about event on Twitter for the day, with 289,000 uniques and 657,000 total tweets. In addition, #SNF garnered 123 million impressions on Twitter during the week.
As previously announced, 49ers- Seahawks was the best SNF game ever in all key digital metrics across all platforms (excludes Kickoff and post-season games). Highlights:
- The game generated 18,276,900 minutes, the most-ever for an SNF game and the second-best ever for a regular-season game on NBC Sports Digital, trailing only this year’s Kickoff contest between the Ravens and Broncos (20,484,617).
- In comparison to 2012 SNF Week 2, traffic for 49ers-Seahawks was up 82 percent in uniques, +94 percent in visits, 91 percent in live starts, 143 percent in minutes watched, and 25 percent in minutes/visit.
- Helped by the weather delay, the 53.9 minutes per visit was the best engagement ever for any SNF game (regular season or post-season) ever streamed by NBC Sports Digital.
